All-Cash Skilled Nursing Deal Closes
An undisclosed buyer acquired a 99-bed skilled nursing facility in Ohio through an all-cash transaction after the seller’s senior lender pushed for an exit. Stan Klos III of 3G Healthcare Real Estate handled the deal. An initial buyer walked away from the deal after a conversion from a lease-only structure was declined by the lender. Another potential buyer signed a competing contract but walked away after the per-diem reimbursement decreased by $50 per bed. This was a result of the facility’s quality points decreasing after an Ohio Medicaid rate reset. Additionally, hospital discharge volume softened, with occupancy falling from the high-80s to the low-80s. A qualified, sidelined... Read More »
Joint Venture Acquires Four AL/MC Communities
Following an active year of M&A with five separate deals totaling 21 properties, Stacked Stone Ventures has kicked off its 2026 growth with a portfolio acquisition in the Southeast.

Another well-capitalized institutional player is stepping into the seniors housing fray, adding fuel to an already aggressive bidding environment. And based on its initial acquisitions, with one closed at more than $1 million per unit, the target seems to be high-quality assets. Prices are rising fast in that segment, and as the buyer pool continues to grow (especially with new entrants that are well-capitalized), that upward pressure should continue. Chiron Real Estate Inc. (formerly known as Global Medical REIT) is a REIT that acquires healthcare facilities and leases them to physician groups and regional and national healthcare systems, announced purchase agreements for three...

Distressed AL/MC Community Gets New Owner
Scott Frazier, Kory Buzin and Steve Thomes of Blueprint advised a special servicer in the seniors housing sector on the sale of Spanish Vines, a well-maintained assisted living/memory care community. It sits in a densely populated Pocket-Greenhaven neighborhood of southwest Sacramento, California. The 88-unit community was generating negative EBITDAR across all trailing periods, with month-over-month census, RevPOR and expenses fluctuating materially as operations worked towards stabilization. The asset benefitted from its infill location and recently renovated physical plant. Blueprint also underwrote an alternative path to upside through California’s Assisted Living Waiver program,...
