Most of Petersen Health Care Portfolio Sells
As part of its corporate Chapter 11 bankruptcy restructuring, Petersen Health Care has now sold 76 senior care properties in Illinois, Missouri and Iowa. Originally, Cascade Capital Partners was the stalking horse bidder for the majority of Petersen’s 90+ properties, when a federal bankruptcy court approved a $116 million sale this summer. Other bidders for the remaining properties were approved at the same time, such as Bank of Farmington and Hickory Point Bank & Trust. However, now the largest group of properties, 46 of them, have sold to CareTrust REIT for a total investment of approximately $97 million (including transaction costs), or $25,000 per bed. CareTrust also announced... Read More »

PE Group Acquires in Minnesota
Orchards of Minnetonka, a high-end seniors housing community located outside of Minneapolis, Minnesota, found a new owner thanks to the team at Newmark. Built in 2019, the community features 147 units of independent living, assisted living and memory care. It was very well occupied and operated strongly, with Ebenezer previously managing it. Opus Development Company originally developed the community, partnering with Ebenezer. Newmark represented the seller in the deal and helped finance the acquisition by arranging a floating-rate loan from Texas Capital Bank for the buyer. Emerging from double-digit bids, the new owner is a private equity group, which is bringing on an operating... Read More »
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. That seller wished to execute on a divestment as part of its capital redeployment strategy. The sale process generated significant interest before Eden Senior Care, a regional owner/operator with an existing footprint in Minnesota, bought the facility for $1.5 million, or $31,250 per bed. Occupancy was in the 60s, so the buyer saw an opportunity to improve census... Read More »
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 »
12 Oaks Acquires in Texas
12 Oaks Senior Living acquired a seniors housing community in Irving, Texas. This is 12 Oak’s first owned property in many years in its managed portfolio. Acquisitions are not part of the company’s current business strategy, however, this was a unique opportunity that was a “natural fit.” The company has been operating this community since 2018, and the seller was Longview Senior Housing, a Blackstone Real Estate portfolio company focused on senior housing. West Fork Village features 201 independent living units. Dick Blaylock, the CEO of 12 Oaks, noted that his father, Charles Blaylock, built the community in 1984. The intent is to own the asset long-term. Read More »

The Landings was built in 2021 by the joint venture in Batavia, Illinois (Chicago MSA). It features 62 independent living, 56 assisted living and 24 memory care units, and was over 98% occupied at the time of closing.

The non-recourse loan has a three-year term and a full term of interest only. Newmark arranged the debt. Read More »
60 Seconds with Swett: Cap Rates Coming Down?
Cap rate data has been difficult to measure in the last couple of years, due to a fast-changing capital costs environment, a relatively fast-changing operating environment and, frankly, a relative absence of true “cap rate deals” where the buyer was valuing the trailing set of financials, without any funny business. Now, we are seeing more “cap rate deals” and look forward to providing our industry averages, broken out by property type, quality, age and performance in our next Senior Care Acquisition Report. Anecdotally, what we are hearing is that cap rates are compressing slightly, but in the grand scheme of things, are staying relatively high relative to the record (and some may say...
