Blueprint announced a couple of its Q4 closings. In one, a not-for-profit organization took over a seniors housing community in the Hartford, Connecticut MSA, from a publicly traded REIT. The buyer appears to be Masonicare, which announced its acquisition of Atria Greenridge Place in the town of Rocky Hill. Built in 1998, the 108-unit assisted living/memory care community now operates as Masonicare at Greenridge Place. Historically, it was well occupied and boasted strong cash flow, but there was near-immediate upside through strategic capital investment and marketing. The listing received five or six offers, including from private equity firms and a publicly traded company, before... Read More »
Allaire Healthcare Acquires PA CCRC
A majority-skilled nursing CCRC in Coal Township, Pennsylvania, was sold by a private PA-based owner divesting his last owned building.

Struggling SNF Sells in Michigan
Evans Senior Investments arranged the sale of the Villages of Lapeer, a skilled nursing facility in Lapeer, Michigan, approximately 50 miles northwest of Detroit. It was built in 1959, comprises 87 beds, and sits on 5.6 acres. Like many SNFs, the Villages of Lapeer faced operational and compliance challenges during the pandemic, which impacted census and overall performance. The seller was an independent owner/operator seeking to transition out of the skilled nursing industry. Recognizing the seller’s need to exit, ESI expedited the process by bringing in a regional ownership group active in Michigan, which executed the deal within four months from start to finish.
