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.

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...

Two Doctors Acquire MC Community
Haven Senior Investments, a faith-based advisory and brokerage firm, sold a long-standing, family-owned memory care community in eastern Kansas. The high-end community features 48 units and 48 beds across four buildings, serving the Lawrence area west of Kansas City. The first building opened in 2012, followed by the remaining three in 2017, 2019 and 2022, respectively.
