Long-Term Owner/Operator Divests in Rural Utah

Long-Term Owner/Operator Divests in Rural Utah

Evans Senior Investments facilitated the sale of Heirloom Inn, a 67-unit assisted living community in Price, Utah. The seller, which developed the community over 20 years ago, was independent owner/operator Shauna O’Brien. At the time of sale, the property was performing well albeit with opportunities for expense management and revenue growth. There was strong interest from buyers due to the limited supply of assisted living communities in the surrounding market, with a regional operator that offers scale being a good fit for the asset. The three-week competitive marketing process resulted in ESI ultimately identifying a buyer aligned with the seller’s long-term objectives. The transaction... Read More »

Kiser’s Myers Announces Closings

Mark Myers has had an active year since leaving Walker & Dunlop in January 2025 to go to SVN before exiting that shop in May to co-create a seniors housing brokerage platform with Kiser Group.

Blueprint Handles Five-SNF Portfolio Deal

Blueprint Handles Five-SNF Portfolio Deal

Giancarlo Riso and Amy Sitzman of Blueprint advised a client on a sale and HUD 232 process of five skilled nursing facilities located in central and west Texas. The facilities totaled 424 beds and featured positive cash flow. They had attractive, fixed-rate HUD debt of 2.8% and long remaining terms with maturity dates starting in 2035 through 2044, presenting an incoming investor with significant cash-on-cash returns, especially if they invested in a targeted capex program to raise the facilities’ competitive profiles. Further upside potential existed by improving the CMS star rating at each facility, and establishing additional referral relationships with nearby acute care hospitals.... Read More »
SLIB Sells Two Pennsylvania CCRCs

SLIB Sells Two Pennsylvania CCRCs

Two faith-based, not-for-profit CCRCs in central Pennsylvania were acquired by a private East Coast-based investor. Located an hour’s drive from each other, Church of God Home has 50 independent living units and 109 skilled nursing beds in Carlisle, while Towne Centre in Myerstown has 152 skilled nursing beds, plus some “borrowed” IL units from the Carlisle location that gives it a CCRC designation. They were built in 1948 and 1972, respectively, and operated at a profit. But this was not a “cap rate deal,” as the Towne Centre location struggled more with occupancy, and the price was not disclosed.  The selling organization is based in south central Pennsylvania, which appears to be...

Mississippi Turnaround SNF Changes Hands

3G Healthcare Real Estate, which mainly focuses on skilled nursing transactions and has a side focus of debt and equity placement, facilitated the sale of a skilled nursing facility in Mississippi on behalf of a small, local skilled nursing owner. Built in the 1970s, the asset faced occupancy and operational challenges, including staffing shortages, the need for resident mix improvements, and significant bad debt, compounded by reduced state Medicaid rates.  During the marketing process, the turnaround potential and long-term opportunities were emphasized, resulting in six competitive offers. Ultimately, an owner/operator with a local presence paid $116,000 per operational bed for the... Read More »
