August Acquisition Volume Light, But Consistent
Can we call it a comeback when the seniors housing and care M&A market surpassed 20 deals in August? We recorded 21 publicly announced transactions in the month, which is the highest total since April when 22 deals were disclosed. Since April, there have been 20 deals announced in May, 18 in June and 20 again in July. Consistent, yes, but we just still aren’t used to seeing numbers like these after the heady times of 2018 and 2019 when buyers regularly made 40 transactions or more in a month.

O&M Investments Makes Two SNF Acquisitions in Texas
A skilled nursing facility in an affluent Houston, Texas suburb found a new owner thanks to expertise of Adam Heavenrich of Heavenrich & Company. Built in 2009 on an 80-acre medical campus that is anchored by the Kelsey Seybold Clinic, the facility features 120 beds. Owned by a publicly traded REIT and operated by StoneGate Senior Living, it was around 76% occupied at the time of the sale. The property was well maintained, which a new owner could use to boost census and value. Heavenrich & Company received multiple bids on the facility and ultimately selected O&M Investments, a private equity firm led by Nick Martinez and Todd Okum. The purchase price came to $5.3 million, or... Read More »
