National Owner Acquires Louisiana SNF
After acquiring and turning around a skilled nursing facility in Alexandria, Louisiana, a mom & pop operator is selling the asset and entering into a well deserved retirement. Built in 1990 with a renovation in 2017, Regency House Alexandria features 60 skilled nursing beds and 10 assisted living beds. It only accepted Medicare and private pay residents and generated more than $1.5 million of EBITDAR at closing. There was also an assumable HUD loan on the property with an attractive interest rate, and even some upside with an increase to the facility’s Medicare census. Blueprint procured multiple offers before a national owner/operator was ultimately selected by the seller. The... Read More »
Tutera Acquires Iowa Senior Care Campus
A not-for-profit senior care campus in Asbury, Iowa, found a new owner with the help of Jeff Binder, Jason Punzel and Jake Anderson of Senior Living Investment Brokerage.

Since then, they have been operated by Walnut Creek Managing Co. (an LLC affiliated with Tutera Senior Living, which operates in the region), and Kansas City-based attorney (and serial senior care receiver) Michael Flanagan was appointed as the receiver.

Live Oak Bank Closes Loan Trifecta
For anyone who has wondered which banks are actively lending in this capital markets environment, Live Oak Bank has been on a tear in the last few weeks, closing more than six transactions recently.

Loan proceeds were used to recapitalize partnership notes for an 82-unit assisted living/memory care community in the Atlanta,... Read More »
Helios Arranges Country Place Corporate Credit Facility
Helios Healthcare Advisors helped arrange a corporate credit facility secured by a portfolio of assisted living/memory care communities across four locations in Alabama on behalf of Country Place Senior Living, a portfolio company of a Hong Kong-based alternative investment manager.

The People’s Republic of New York At It Again
The saga of The Harborside on New York’s Long Island has been more than a decade in the making. Opened in 2010 and originally known as Amsterdam of Harborside, a not-for-profit entity, it has now filed for bankruptcy protection three times (2014, 2021 and 2023). Nothing like a little financial uncertainty to drive census, which is at about 50%. There are about 330 IL and AL units. Nearly 10 months ago, the bankruptcy court approved the sale to Iowa-based Life Care Services (LCS), partly because they agreed to keep it open, pay down the entrance fees to people who had moved or to their estates, and invest some capital. From media reports, it appears the residents wanted LCS to buy it, as... Read More »
Jaybird Senior Living Enters Texas
Evans Senior Investments arranged the sale of a seniors housing community in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas MSA. Built in 2013, Sonoma House Assisted Living comprises 33 assisted living units and 63 memory care units across seven cottages in Carrollton, Texas.

The result was six competitive bids, with the ultimate buyer being... Read More »
Acquirer Expands Through Lease-to-Purchase in Ohio
Blueprint was engaged by an established owner seeking a desire to divest its skilled nursing facility in Ohio. Originally constructed in 1920 as the original site of McKinley High School, the facility was converted to skilled nursing in 1984. The facility suffered from low Medicaid reimbursement rates, and it was struggling from an occupancy standpoint. Connor Doherty and Ryan Kelly handled this transaction, structuring an off-market lease with a purchase option with an acquirer seeking to expand its presence in northeast Ohio. The structure protected ownership’s downside while granting the incoming operator, and eventual purchaser, operational runway to access debt by stabilizing... Read More »

Berkadia facilitated the sale of a seniors housing community in the Indianapolis, Indiana MSA. The seller was S-K Fishers, LLC, an entity managed by the principals of SRC, LLC.
