Blueprint’s Behavioral Healthcare Team sold a vacant skilled nursing facility on behalf of a nationally recognized institutional REIT to a buyer that will convert the building into a behavioral health facility.

60-ish Seconds with Steve Monroe: So, What’s Goin’ On?
While I did not make it to the NIC Spring Conference last week, my colleagues Ben and Steph were there to meet and greet the record crowd. The crowd included a lot of smiling faces. Some takeaways included the expectation that liquidity is returning and that we will see bigger deals this year. Also, lenders will be putting out more cash in 2025 than in 2024. All of this bodes well for the M&A market. There was, however, some concern about what the Trump Administration is doing, and what the impact will be on seniors housing and care. And there should be concern. Even though the labor situation has improved, my guess is that there will be fewer low-wage workers around given some... Read More »
Brookdale Bucking Historical Trend
Brookdale Senior Living announced its February occupancy results, and it was better than we expected. Month-end occupancy has now increased for three straight months since November. At the end of February, occupancy was 80.8%, marking the seventh straight month that it has topped 80%, and up 20 basis points from the end of January. As you know, the winter months are usually terrible for census, and this year the strong flu has not helped. But Brookdale has succeeded, nonetheless. Weighted average occupancy in February increased by 10 basis points to 79.3%, and that seems to be stuck in a holding pattern as it has hardly budged for six months. The share price jumped by 3.6% on the news on a... Read More »
