Regional Midwest Management Company Acquires in Missouri
Senior Care Realty was engaged by a mom & pop in their divestment of a seniors housing community in the Kansas City, Missouri MSA. This was their only long-term care property and they are selling to enter retirement. Built in 1995 in several stages by the seller, with the last phase in 2008, the community comprises 69 independent living and assisted living units. The community was fully occupied at the time of sale with a waitlist, and is 100% private pay. It generated close to $2.1 million in income in 2024, running at a 36% margin. Sounds like a great operation. A regional Midwest management company, which is expanding to multiple states, bought the community and will look to... Read More »

Wisconsin AL Community Changes Hands
On the heels of his closing in Minnesota, Bob Richards of Senior Care Realty headed over to Wisconsin to sell a small assisted living community in Dane County. Built in the mid-1990s, the community featured 20 units and a mostly Medicaid census. But occupancy was 100%, and the community operated at a strong margin above 30%. That is impressive, considering its size. It ended up being too small for the regional owner/operator’s typical model, so it sold to an East Coast owner/operator with a growing Wisconsin portfolio. The purchase price came to $1.8 million, or $90,000 per unit. VIUM Capital helped finance the acquisition for the buyer, which has now purchased four small assets in the... Read More »
Private Asset-Based Lender Acquires Two Senior Notes

Blueprint approached a select group of investors with a strategy to demonstrate that the unencumbered value of the assets exceeded that of the notes’ value,... Read More »
