60 Seconds with Swett: SNF Values Drop
We are in the middle of compiling our 2023 M&A statistics for the soon-to-be-released 29th Edition of The Senior Care Acquisition Report, and the difficult year that was 2023 is coming clearer into focus, at least from a valuation perspective. We’ll preview the skilled nursing market first, which remained relatively strong despite the numerous headwinds facing the sector. On the other hand, some of the tailwinds like rising reimbursement rates, falling supply of licensed beds and revenues from related ancillary businesses have helped prop up valuations. We heard consistently throughout 2023 that values for SNFs had dropped between 10-15% from their peak around 2021 and early 2022, BUT... Read More »
60 Seconds with Swett: January M&A Activity Hits a Recent High
If many are hoping for a fundamental shift in the M&A market in 2024, either for more activity, larger deals or Class-A, stabilized properties hitting the market, then January may have offered a glimmer of hope. We recorded 61 publicly announced transactions across the seniors housing and care sectors, according to LevinPro LTC. That is the highest monthly tally since January 2022 when 64 deals were made public. Back then, for some perspective, the 10-year Treasury rate averaged 1.76% that month, as opposed to around 4.0% last month. And liquidity was vastly different, too. There are also always December closings in the January total, which goes by announcement date, but that is true... Read More »

Brookdale Senior Living Does Not Renew Leases
LTC Properties announced that Brookdale Senior Living finally decided not to renew leases on 35 assisted living communities with 1,471 units in eight states. Most, if not all, of these properties came to Brookdale as part of its 2005 acquisition of Alterra Healthcare Corporation. Eight years before, Alterra had merged with Sterling House, a company founded by Steven Vick in 1991, and we believe these are some of the original Sterling House communities, which tended to be on the small side. This group of properties is one of the largest in LTC Properties’ portfolio, representing about 8.4% of cash rent. Brookdale has been current on all lease payments, and the leases actually do not expire... Read More »Schedule a demo
