60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: A Win For Providers
We all know that the Life Care Centers of America nursing home in Kirkland, Washington was the location of the first major SNF outbreak of COVID at the beginning of the pandemic. Well, the families of two residents who died sued the facility, the management company and some employees for negligence. As I have stated too many times, this early in the pandemic no one really knew what was going on, no one understood the severity, and no one knew what to do with the early cases, if they even had test kits, and to be held liable for deaths in those early weeks did not seem to make sense. While the jury found that the company was not at fault for the deaths of the two women, the jury found... Read More »
SLIB Nails Nevada Closing
A stabilized independent living community in Reno, Nevada, sold to a private equity company that specializes in active adult and independent living. A regional owner/operator based in the western United States developed the 131-unit community in 2020 and leased it up quickly. Not only was the occupancy strong, but the community operated at a very healthy margin. Well-performing communities have not been hitting the market much these days, so pricing must have been strong for the asset, although the purchase price was not disclosed. However, the cap rate was approximately 6% based on trailing stabilized financials. Jason Punzel, Dave Balow, Vince Viverito and Brad Goodsell of Senior... Read More »
