Rebirth of Vacant Pennsylvania AL Community
The Prestige Group facilitated the sale of a vacant seniors housing community in Milford, Pennsylvania. In the early 1980s a local real estate entrepreneur purchased a former Milford high school and repositioned it to a 220-bed assisted living community. The building was equipped with an auditorium plus a full stage, and the entrepreneur decided to run a theater company through the community. The productions were open to the public, introducing people to the community. Rockwell Center was run by the founder for 40 years and then his family after his death. The family eventually moved from the area, divesting their local Milton area assets, except for this community. In June 2023, the... Read More »
60 Seconds with Swett: CCRCs Lead the Occupancy Recovery
The CCRC market continues to lead all other sectors in its occupancy recovery, post-pandemic. Yes, we are talking about a smaller market, and many of these communities tend to be higher-end, luxury properties mostly in primary markets that have generally demonstrated better resilience in recent years. But the sector has not always been the bright spot in seniors housing, especially after the Great Financial Crisis, so this is new territory. Ziegler and NIC MAP partnered on a report detailing the occupancy gains in each CCRC segment for more than 1,160 CCRCs, including not-for-profit and for-profit, plus entrance-fee and rentals in 140 MSAs. Independent living was the highest, averaging... Read More »
Kauhale Health Acquires in South Carolina
Kauhale Health, a Midwest-based firm, announced its second acquisition in seniors housing with a deal in Greenville, South Carolina. Built in 2001, The Parker, comprising 66,765 square feet across 3.5 acres, features 74 assisted living and 17 memory care units. Within the past three years the common areas and more than one third of the units have been renovated and remodeled.

Cash flow continued to decline during Blueprint’s... Read More »
Ahava Healthcare Purchases in Tennessee
Evans Senior Investments was brought on by Henry County in its divestment of a skilled nursing facility in Paris, Tennessee. Built in 2001, Henry County Healthcare Center comprises 136 beds across five acres. At the time of marketing, it was 43% occupied and cash-flow negative. Since the pandemic, the facility has consistently remained in the 40% to 50% occupancy level month over month. Although the pandemic played a part, the primary issue has been the community’s low staffing levels, which frequently led to rejecting admissions. The facility also struggled to achieve industry-standard profitability due to it being the sole skilled nursing facility operated by Henry County Medical... Read More »
S&R Handles Texas Land Transaction
Sherman & Roylance closed the sale of an eight-acre development site in Austin, Texas, which was initially envisioned for a senior living community.
