• The Saga of Genesis HealthCare Continues

    Genesis HealthCare was once one of the largest and most successful skilled nursing companies. But it grew too quickly, made some bad investments over the years (did we mention the billion-dollar merger with The MultiCare Companies?), and it always played the leverage game, whether with leases or debt, and usually both. Last summer, it filed for... Read More »

Evans Arranges New SNF Lease

Evans Arranges New SNF Lease

Evans Senior Investments arranged a new lease for a skilled nursing facility in Denver, Colorado, securing a 293% increase in rent on a per-bed, per-month basis in the process. At the time of marketing, the facility was 62% occupied with minimal Medicare Part A referrals. However, the 1960s-built facility has 16 private units and is proximate to five major hospitals, so the opportunity to increase the high-acuity Medicare census was there. Evans also determined more than $600,000 in potential expense synergies available to a new operator.  Evans emphasized this value-add scenario to potential tenants, including regional operators looking for scale, and secured a new lease with a...
