All-Medicare SNF in Vegas Sells

Evans Senior Investments arranged the sale of a 45-bed post-acute rehab facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Welltower to Disperse 89 Atria Properties

Welltower to Disperse 89 Atria Properties

Several years ago, we had a rather heated discussion with Atria’s former CEO, John Moore, in the lobby of the hotel at the NIC fall conference. This was pre-COVID.

He took strong exception to that concept, insisting that if you were a good manager, like Atria, you could do well no matter the size. Let’s just say, we were right, he was wrong, and the rest is becoming history. While Atria became a very good operator, a little arrogance may have slipped in as to how good, especially during tough times. We know... Read More »
