Minnesota SNF Changes Hands

Minnesota SNF Changes Hands

A small skilled nursing facility in Minnesota found a new owner thanks to the team at Evans Senior Investments. Built more than 60 years ago, Rochester West Health Services has 48 beds and was previously owned by an institutional group, GPH Rochester LLC, an affiliate of Fort Smith, Arkansas-based REIT Cuarzo Healthcare Capital.

Occupancy was in the 60s, so the buyer saw an opportunity to improve census... Read More »
Not-For-Profit Divests Non-Core Asset

Not-For-Profit Divests Non-Core Asset

Blueprint advised a not-for-profit seller in the divestment of a southern Pennsylvania memory care community. Despite profitable operations, the Washington, D.C. metro area-based seller sought to exit ownership of the community given its non-core location relative to the balance of its portfolio. The sub-30-unit memory care community, located along the Mason-Dixon line between Pennsylvania and Maryland, was originally built in 1990 and sits on a 20-acre parcel.  A western Maryland-based group was identified as the buyer, which brought a knowledge of the resident base and proximity to the facility that made it a “natural” fit for its second location. Steve Thomes, Kory Buzin and Colin... Read More »
