Ziegler Sells Struggling CCRC in Alabama

Ziegler Sells Struggling CCRC in Alabama

Diversicare Healthcare Services purchased a large, independent, not-for-profit CCRC in Homewood, Alabama (east of Birmingham) in a deal handled by Nick Glaisner and Jake Sexton of Ziegler. Called St. Martins of the Pines (SMP), the community had been in significant financial distress, losing nearly $2 million in EBITDA on approximately $13.5 million in revenues. Occupancy was understandably low, as well, across all acuity types.  Founded in 1955, the campus features a four-story independent living community with 97 units, a two-story assisted living/memory care community with 40 AL and 51 MC units, and a skilled nursing campus in a greenhouse “cottages” style (which replaced an older...

Blueprint Handles Virginia AL/MC Divestment

Blueprint Handles Virginia AL/MC Divestment

The owner of two assisted living/memory care communities in central Virginia engaged Blueprint to sell the assets. The deal closed with a buyer seeking to scale a regional management platform paying an undisclosed price. Located about 75 miles apart, one in a densely populated, affluent market and the other in a tertiary submarket, the communities totaled 128 units. They were not stabilized assets. A targeted marketing campaign resulted in multiple offers before the seller chose the eventual buyer due to their incentive to expand into the geographies, their “vigorous” pursuit of the deal, and a demonstrated commitment from their local banking and equity investment partners. Kory Buzin,... Read More »
