Seniors Housing Asset Divested for Behavioral Health Conversion

Blueprint’s Behavioral Healthcare team advised an owner in the sale of an existing seniors housing/memory care community in Indianapolis, Indiana, to be converted to an inpatient residential substance use disorder clinic. The asset was underwritten as both seniors housing and a behavioral healthcare conversion candidate.

There was strong initial interest within the first few weeks of marketing and the buyer ultimately selected has an existing footprint within the state. The buyer also intends to deploy significant capital improvement... Read More »

SNF Portfolio Trades in California

SNF Portfolio Trades in California

A portfolio of six skilled nursing facilities in California was finally sold in multiple phases, with the two last facilities closing after the completion of HUD debt assumption and state regulatory approvals. The facilities sold for $154 million in total, and while the combined beds were not disclosed, pricing was reportedly strong on a per-bed basis and possibly a record for any portfolio SNF deal in the state, again on a per-bed basis. Gideon Orion of Walker & Dunlop facilitated the sale, his third over $150 million closed in the last 12 months.  Located in Southern California, the facilities were on the older side (typical of the state), having been built from the 1960s to the...

Monarch Sources SNF Acquisition Debt

Monarch Sources SNF Acquisition Debt

Mission Health Communities, a private multi-state operator of senior care facilities, recently engaged Alec Blanc of Monarch Advisors to source acquisition debt for the purchase of a 78-bed skilled nursing facility in Topeka, Kansas. The behavioral-focused facility was already operated by Mission Health, making for a seamless transition. Occupancy hovered between the high-80s and low-90s, and the facility was profitable, benefiting from a significant rate increase in Kansas effective July 1, 2023. Mission Health had taken over operations after the facility entered into receivership. Mission Health obtained a $2.1 million senior loan from a local bank to fund the deal. Monarch structured...

Marcus & Millichap Closes Two SNF Deals

Marcus & Millichap Closes Two SNF Deals

The Knapp-Stahler Group at Marcus & Millichap closed a couple of skilled nursing deals on the eve of the eCap conference in Miami, so a celebratory pina colada by the pool sounds appropriate. First, Nick Stahler and Austin Diamond sold an 85+ bed facility in East Texas to a regional owner/operator that was selected for its proven track record and ability to close “all cash” in an expedited time frame. The facility had historically struggled with occupancy (it was in the mid-50% range at the time of closing), and rising expenses due to inflation created further challenges. There was clearly room for improvement in those areas, plus in the payor mix and in additional revenue via... Read More »

Struggling Ohio CCRC Changes Hands

Struggling Ohio CCRC Changes Hands

In a swift transaction, Blueprint’s Connor Doherty, Ryan Kelly and Dan Mahoney closed the sale of a CCRC in Richmond Heights, Ohio (Cleveland area), just 55 days from offer acceptance to closing. That fast track, helped by the buyer paying all cash, got the deal completed before year-end, enabling the new owner to benefit from Ohio’s improved reimbursement environment. The property, Richmond Heights Place, may need that, as it was losing money at the time of the sale. Nearly 25 years old, the 138-unit community was previously owned by a West Coast-based owner/operator that was making a strategic exit. A well capitalized private owner/operator looking to expand and increase its scale in the... Read More »

Omega Healthcare Reports, American Healthcare Prices IPO

Omega Healthcare Reports, American Healthcare Prices IPO

There had been some nasty rumors in the market leading up to the release of Omega Healthcare Investors’ fourth quarter and year-end earnings release. Some people fretted that the situation had deteriorated with too many of their customers, which could force them to cut their dividend rate. You can’t believe everything you read, except on these pages. While there are still some tenant issues, the overall situation is improving. Because they are leases, the information comes with a three-month lag. For the 12 months ended September 30, 2023, occupancy was 79.1%, up from the previous quarter and up 290 basis points from the year-ago quarter. EBITDARM coverage was 1.63x in the third quarter,...
