Drawing on plenty of experience selling county-owned skilled nursing facilities, Joshua Jandris, Mark Myers and Alex Vice of IPA Seniors Housing just sold their first in the state of Ohio.

Dakota Dealing

Dakota Dealing

A private REIT based in North Dakota purchased a private pay assisted living community in Rapid City, South Dakota with hopes of improving occupancy and operations to increase value. Built in 2004, the 87-unit community was 85% occupied with a 20% EBITDAR margin in the trailing 12 months. The seller was an independent owner/operator, so the buyer should be able to introduce some economies of scale and professional management to the community. Evans Senior Investments handled the sale, closing the purchase price of $7.1 million, or $81,600 per unit. Read More »

The Ensign Group started off 2019 with a skilled nursing acquisition right in its wheelhouse. Located in southwest Utah, in the town of Cedar City, this 120-bed skilled nursing facility was just 50% occupied at the time of sale. That kind of turnaround opportunity seems to be Ensign’s specialty. Indeed, occupancy at its last couple of skilled nursing acquisitions ranged from 67% to 70%. So, they’ll hope to use that experience turning operations around at the Utah facility. Read More »
