A North Carolina skilled nursing facility that was built in 1994 but voluntarily closed in 2012 was purchased for $6.05 million, or $43,200 per bed. Owned by a regional owner/operator based out of the Southeast, the facility features 133 skilled nursing beds and seven assisted living beds. After closing the facility, the owner still kept the license and CON active, which was probably the motivation behind the acquisition, as the buyer, a North Carolina-based skilled nursing operator, will either invest capital to upgrade/reopen or build a new facility within the county. Patrick Burke of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the transaction.
