Selectis Health Refinances CCRC in Oklahoma

Brookdale Senior Living Issues Occupancy Update
Brookdale Senior Living issued an occupancy update, and the results were positive, but a little muted. The good news is that the company saw occupancy grow 50 basis points from July to August after an 80-basis point increase from June to July. Brookdale does expect another sequential monthly occupancy gain in September 2021, but likely a more moderated rate. The company attributed this to potential residents and their families becoming more cautious or temporarily delaying their decision to move into seniors housing communities in certain areas, as a result of the Delta variant. That shouldn’t surprise many. As of September 22, 2021, approximately 97% of Brookdale’s communities... Read More »

Marcus & Millichap Handles Two Transactions in Wisconsin
Two small but stabilized senior care facilities in Wisconsin sold to out-of-state buyers. Ray Giannini of Marcus & Millichap handled both transactions. The larger property is a 50-bed skilled nursing facility in the rural town of Shell Lake. Built in 1985 with an addition in 1994, it was 86% occupied with an almost 20% Medicare census. Helping the facility is the fact that it is the only SNF in town and is located next to a hospital. An out-of-state partnership sold the facility for $1.5 million, or $30,000 per bed, at a roughly 12.0% cap rate based on recent trailing financials. Mr. Giannini followed that up with the sale of a 16-unit assisted living community in Kenosha (Chicago... Read More »
