Blueprint Sells a SNF in Louisiana

Blueprint Sells a SNF in Louisiana

Brooks Blackmon of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors headed down to the bayou to sell a 120-bed skilled nursing facility in Oak Grove, Louisiana (near the border of Arkansas). Built in stages from the 1960s through 1987, the facility had been owned by multiple generations of a local family since its opening, and now they are seeking to exit the industry. Occupancy was just under 50%, and it was operating a little above breakeven.   Blueprint started the marketing process in late-2019, and a buyer was found in a Southeast-based regional owner/operator, but the pandemic led to numerous delays. Eventually, the deal closed with no purchase price reduction,... Read More »

Senwell Sells Indiana “Green House” SNF

Senwell Sells Indiana “Green House” SNF

A month after closing an assisted living community sale in North Carolina, Senwell Senior Investment Brokerage switched gears to the skilled nursing market to sell a small facility in Goshen, Indiana. Opened in 2018 by an owner/operator, the facility consists of four homes in the “Green House” style, each with 12 private rooms.   Each home has a family room, dining room and kitchen, with an open concept. That separation may have also played a role in reducing the risk of COVID-19 outbreaks too. And it clearly worked at this location, as it quickly filled up with mostly Medicare and private pay residents. The community also operated at a strong EBITDAR margin. Ben Bohland... Read More »
Giannini Closes Green Bay Sale

Giannini Closes Green Bay Sale

Ray Giannini and Aaron Thompson of Marcus & Millichap arranged the sale of a 50-unit assisted living/memory care community in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Contrary to many seniors housing communities today, this property was fully occupied, with a 100% private pay census at the time of closing. It also reported strong cash flow and was relatively new construction, having been built in phases from 2009 to 2019.   The husband-and-wife seller had a lot to do with that strong performance, working diligently to maintain census and keep the community COVID-free throughout the year. They will be exiting the industry with this sale, which came at a price of $9.2 million, or $184,000 per unit. An... Read More »
