Older, Underperforming Ohio SNF Sold By ESI
Evans Senior Investments (ESI) closed the sale of a 180-bed skilled nursing facility in Ohio for $10.75 million, or $60,000 per bed. Built in 1965 with a $220,000 renovation in 2019, the facility has nine private units with the rest being semi-private occupancy. In 2019, the facility posted $10.3 million in total revenue and 72% occupancy. Despite the large revenue generation, the facility was not very profitable due to the below average Medicaid rate and low post-acute rehabilitation census. Beginning in March 2020, the facility’s census began to decline to a low of 43% due to bans on admissions and a lack of elective surgeries from hospitals resulting from the pandemic.

January M&A Activity Was the Busiest On Record – 60 Seconds With Ben Swett
January 2022 is in the books, and seniors housing and care M&A activity hit an all-time record in the month, according to our LevinPro LTC database. There were 66 individual deals announced, beating the previous record set in December 2020 with 60 deals, which was a bit of an outlier back then. Our LevinPro database counts deals based on when they are publicly announced either by a press release or to us directly, so a large number of these 66 transactions actually closed at the end of 2021.
