Private Company Acquires Struggling Skilled Nursing Facility

Private Company Acquires Struggling Skilled Nursing Facility

Todd Okum and Nick Martinez of O&M Investments have acquired their seventh skilled nursing facility of the year. Built around 1985, the facility comprises 120 beds and sits west of Palm Beach County, Florida. The seller was a not-for-profit organization, with this divestment marking its exit from the skilled nursing sector, as it sold the last of its five- or six-facility portfolio. At the time of sale, the facility’s occupancy was hovering around 50%. Prior to the pandemic, it was around 80% to 90% occupied, but it struggled with post-COVID recovery. The buyer brought on a regional operator that will help restore the SNF’s census.  Closing smoothly, the off-market transaction was... Read More »

Joint Venture Grows Its Seniors Presence in Oklahoma

Joint Venture Grows Its Seniors Presence in Oklahoma

Stacked Stone Ventures, a real estate investment firm founded by Kent Eikanas, announced a new acquisition, adding a 147-bed CCRC in Oklahoma to its growing portfolio. Stacked Stone made the purchase with joint venture partner Praxis Capital and started a new relationship with the incoming operator, Sage Integrated Health.  The campus operated around breakeven with occupancy in the mid-80s and a healthy Medicare census. It was previously owned by a not-for-profit organization, so we imagine there may be immediate upside from expense management. The joint venture bought the asset for $10.8 million, or $73,500 per bed. There are several other transactions in the works at Stacked Stone, so... Read More »
