PE Firm Acquires Two Value-Add Communities
A private equity firm acquired a couple of former Atria Senior Living-managed assisted living communities in upstate New York. Located within 15 miles of each other near Rochester in the towns of Greece and Penfield, the communities combine for 168 units and 199 beds of assisted living. They were previously owned by a private real estate development and investment company based in Rochester that had hired Atria to manage the communities for the last several years. However, the seller wished to focus on other strategic initiatives within its organization, such as residential communities, while also maintaining a presence in the seniors housing space. Despite being of an older vintage, with... Read More »

Baptist Village Communities Grows Its Portfolio
Baptist Village Communities, the largest not-for-profit senior care provider in Oklahoma, announced its plans to acquire a senior living community in the town of Enid. The organization had started a partnership with the community, Golden Oaks Village, in 2019 to provide management consulting services after the community was restructured into a not-for-profit organization. But the Golden Oaks Board of Directors later approached Baptist Village to take over ownership, with the transition expected to be completed by September 2023. Golden Oaks Village was founded in 1988 before it was acquired and expanded in the early-1990s by Wesley Kroeker, who retired in 2012 and handed over operations to... Read More »
Strawberry Fields REIT Makes Major SNF Purchase
The capital markets upheaval has led to a decrease in liquidity, an increase in capital costs and a corresponding drop in property values in the senior care M&A market. That combination has led sellers to only make small, strategic divestments because they cannot command the prices they want, and it has prevented buyers from making larger purchases because of expensive debt. So, we have not seen many portfolio deals in 2023. The majority of portfolio deals that have been announced in 2023 so far have been in the skilled nursing sector, with over 70% of properties included in the year’s portfolio deals being skilled nursing facilities. The sector has proven more resilient in terms... Read More »Schedule a demo
