Regional Owner/Operator Takes on Distressed SNFs

LTC Properties on Track for Projected 2025 Pipeline

LTC Properties added two Kentucky assets in the Nashville, Tennessee MSA, to its SHOP portfolio through an off-market transaction. Both assets opened in the first half of 2023 with 158 total assisted living/memory care units. More than 50% of those units were pre-leased, and they achieved full stabilization in an average of 20 months. Since then, they consistently performed well and were stabilized at the time of closing. It is expected that the communities will deliver a year-one yield of approximately 7%. One of the buildings appears to be Charter Senior Living of Hopkinsville, which has 56 assisted living and 23 memory care units. The private-pay units are in a single-story, 65,000... Read More »
SLIB Handles Michigan Portfolio Deal

SLIB Handles Michigan Portfolio Deal

A seniors housing portfolio in Michigan traded hands with the help of Dan Geraghty, Brad Clousing and Jeff Binder of Senior Living Investment Brokerage. Set in secondary markets, the portfolio consists of four late-1990s vintage properties that are well maintained and well regarded in their respective communities. They also experienced continued occupancy growth throughout 2025 but still represented an opportunity for a new regional owner/operator to hit the ground running in boosting performance through a hands-on management approach and leveraging existing referral networks. A national owner/operator deemed the portfolio no longer fit with its long-term operational objectives and slated... Read More »
Two Central Florida Communities Trade

Two Central Florida Communities Trade

Two assisted living/memory care communities set in between Orlando and Gainesville, Florida, found a new in-state owner. Located about 10 miles apart in Ocala and Belleview, the communities total 83 units and were previously owned by a partnership between a Florida-based capital partner and a regional operator. Both assets are cash-flowing but have upside potential for a new owner. There is also a third asset currently awaiting a HUD assumption and will transition once the approval is complete. Its new owner will be a Florida-based owner/operator, which is acquiring the whole portfolio. Brad Clousing and Dan Geraghty of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the transaction. Read More »
