Greystone Funds Ohio SNF Acquisition
To fund the acquisition of a skilled nursing facility in Youngstown, Ohio, Fred Levine of Greystone arranged bridge financing for the new owner. Built in 1964, the facility features 99 beds and has been owned and operated by Guardian Healthcare. However, going forward, Bal Harbour Management will take over day-to-day management.

A family owner/operator originally developed the community in 1997 and decided early in 2020 to divest their only asset and retire from the business. They are leaving behind a strong operation, as the property has consistently maintained occupancy between 90% and 100% across the 46 personal care units, all of which were studios. There is an opportunity to convert some of those units into two-bedroom options, as well as improve the operating margin. That is what... Read More »
