After New York State torpedoed the sale of a long-struggling CCRC in Port Washington, New York, to LCS in October, citing “a lack of required financial transparency” among other objections, the property has a new buyer. The Harborside, formerly Amsterdam of Harborside, opened in 2010 as a 329-unit, not-for-profit community and filed for bankruptcy in 2014 and again in 2021.

Another $40.8 million in refund payments would also come from the planned... Read More »

Minnesota SNF Changes Hands

Minnesota SNF Changes Hands

A small skilled nursing facility in Minnesota found a new owner thanks to the team at Evans Senior Investments. Built more than 60 years ago, Rochester West Health Services has 48 beds and was previously owned by an institutional group, GPH Rochester LLC, an affiliate of Fort Smith, Arkansas-based REIT Cuarzo Healthcare Capital.

Occupancy was in the 60s, so the buyer saw an opportunity to improve census... Read More »
