Las Vegas SNF Commands Premium

Las Vegas SNF Commands Premium

We had heard of a high-end skilled nursing facility being marketed for sale in Las Vegas, Nevada, at a very high price for a few months now, and it appears that the sale has closed. Evans Senior Investments announced that it sold Sandstone Spring Valley, a 160-bed skilled nursing facility that was built just 10 years ago. It features an 80-unit ventilator unit, which surely added to its value, and the facility was operating above 90% occupancy. So, we imagine it was very profitable, as well, perhaps with a margin above 15%.  New, stabilized SNFs command strong prices in today’s market, almost always justified by strong reimbursement and operations, and Sandstone was no exception. There was... Read More »

Ensign Buys Kansas City SNF

The Ensign Group acquired a 45-bed skilled nursing facility in Kansas City, Kansas, that was in need of an operational turnaround. Built in 1974 with additions in 1983 and 1995, Medicalodges Post Acute Care is set on nearly 11 acres in a residential area.
