Harborside CCRC Sale Approved

Harborside CCRC Sale Approved

Focus Healthcare Partners’ purchase of a struggling CCRC on Long Island has gone through the ringer, but Chief Judge Alan S. Trust of the US Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York just approved the sale under modified terms, which should close within the next two months. The property attracted some attention in late 2024 when New York State torpedoed the sale of the long-struggling CCRC in Port Washington, New York, to LCS, citing “a lack of required financial transparency” among other objections. The Harborside, formerly Amsterdam of Harborside, opened in 2010 as a 329-unit, not-for-profit community and filed for bankruptcy in 2014 and again in 2021. It was roughly half... Read More »

Brookdale Senior Living: Slow and Steady

Brookdale Senior Living: Slow and Steady

Brookdale Senior Living released its fourth quarter and full-year earnings results this week, and all we can say is that the improvements, while welcomed, are slow and steady. Management has had a lot on its plate the past 18 months or so in a post-pandemic environment, but things like occupancy are moving up, but not as fast as for others. The problem as we have seen and vocalized for several years, is that it takes a long time to move a battleship in a new direction. And as the largest senior living provider in the country, it was a very large battleship to move. Management has successfully put in motion most of the necessary changes for the future, but now comes the execution part, and... Read More »

Joint Venture Acquires High-Quality Asset Near Philly
