A not-for-profit assisted living/memory care community in Bartlett, Tennessee (Memphis MSA) has gone private, after being acquired by a joint venture between a regional operator and a private real estate investment company.

An obstacle for the new operator is that the kitchen is located in the admin building, with warming stations in each resident building. Operations could also be improved, as the margin is currently 9.5% on approximately $4.29 million of revenues, and occupancy is just 83%. But since this was its only community in Tennessee, the Connecticut-based... Read More »
