Toby Siefert and Nick Cacciabando of Senior Living Investment Brokerage closed out 2021 with the sale of a 90-bed skilled nursing facility in a tertiary market of northeastern Pennsylvania. Built in 1976 and renovated in 2012 and 2015, Athens Health and Rehabilitation was initially purchased by a private owner as a vacant, unlicensed asset and went through the process of relicensing, restaffing and lease-up. It sits on two acres across 23,924 square feet. The facility was on an upward trajectory of lease-up until the pandemic and staffing shortages made it difficult to attain occupancy above 70%. At the time of sale, the facility had 62% occupancy, $6.06 million of revenue and negative... Read More »

Owner Divests Eight-Property Ohio Portfolio
The team at Evans Senior Investments ended their 2021 with a bang, closing the sale of an eight-property senior care portfolio in Ohio for $70 million, or about $90,000 per functional bed/unit. Across the eight properties, there were 623 licensed skilled nursing beds, of which 614 were functional, 176 licensed assisted living beds (140 functional) and 22 independent living units. Located in tertiary markets, they were determined to be non-core by the Ohio-based owner/operator seller, which decided to strategically divest the entire portfolio. While under contract, however, the portfolio received a large Medicaid rate increase of almost $30 per patient day, which was projected to add an... Read More »Carlyle Exits High-Quality Portfolio

Whether it is increased complexity, falling margins, staffing problems or just fatigue from dealing with the last two years, senior care owners hit the exits in droves in 2021. Plenty had already planned to get out before the pandemic ever struck, and this was just the last straw, but there are still many waiting to leave until values rise again, or federal and state aid ends. So, we can expect smaller owners and mom & pops to continue seeking exits in 2022. Ending their 2021, Jason Punzel, Vince Viverito and Brad Goodsell of Senior Living Investment Brokerage have spent the last 12 months helping a Portland, Oregon-based group exit the seniors housing industry, wrapping up the...

Ray Giannini of Marcus & Millichap reported a strong second half of 2021, with a couple more deals to report on. First, he sold a 110-bed CCRC in Ladysmith, Wisconsin.

It features 62 skilled nursing beds and 20 residential care (assisted living) units with 48 beds. Occupancy was good at closing, helped in part by the community’s proximity to Marshfield Clinic, part of the regional Marshfield Clinic Health System. The original owner sold the community for $6 million, or $54,500 per bed. Then before New Years Eve, Mr. Giannini sold a CCRC in Gaylord, Minnesota... Read More »
