An established Seattle-based owner/operator of memory care communities emerged to acquire a 50-unit MC community in Bremerton, Washington whose national owner/operator seller had deemed it to be a strategic outlier. Previously operating as a skilled nursing facility, the building was completely gutted and renovated in 2016 to reopen as essentially a brand-new memory care community in 2017 with 62 beds in 50 units. Each unit has a private bathroom, and the building as a whole is in very good condition with Pacific Northwest design elements.  However, it operated as a private pay community and consistently did not draw a high census, averaging around 66% in the last couple of years,...

SLIB Handles Wisconsin Assisted Living Portfolio Deal

A private owner that acquired a portfolio of eight value-add assisted living communities in Wisconsin over the years and turned them around has decided to sell, enlisting the help of Jason Punzel, Ryan Saul and Bradley Clousing of Senior Living Investment Brokerage to do so.
