SLIB Handles Seniors Housing Sale in Upstate New York
The only licensed seniors housing community in Alleghany County, New York found a new owner, with Dave Balow of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handling the sale. Located in New York’s southern tier, this community was built in 1989 with 89 units and 137 beds of assisted living and memory care. It was the last asset owned by a private individual looking to retire, and operations were decent in 2019, with occupancy in the 80s and a 17% margin on under $3.38 million of revenues. However, COVID hit the community at the end of 2020, and although the owner cleared the building of COVID roughly six to eight weeks afterward, he was not able to move any new admissions until March 2021 because...

Diversicare Healthcare Services Deal Signed
When the news first broke several days ago that an investor had offered to buy Diversicare Healthcare Services for $10.10 per share when it was trading below $3.00, well, we said it was an offer that would be hard to turn down. The board did not, and it appears to be a nice windfall for shareholders. But, the due diligence has to pan out, and it is always an out to find a reason for a lower price. We still are not sure why they offered such a high price in this market, and such a generous premium. The buyer is DAC Acquisition LLC, run by Ephram “Mordy” Lahasky. The price represents a very healthy premium of 256% over the closing price of $2.84 on August 19. The merger agreement includes a... Read More »Cap Senior Shareholder Battle Continues
At this point, all we can say is that there have been a lot of pissed off shareholders of Capital Senior Living, and not just this year. It goes back several years when the stock price was just over $27 ($416 in today’s post-split equivalent price) and the market was riding high in general. Shareholders thought management and the board should take advantage of the environment and sell. The rest, of course, is history. Companies were being sold at premium values, such as the sale of Emeritus to Brookdale Senior Living (which never should have happened). And later on, the 49% interest in Enlivant sold to Sabra Health Care REIT nearly $200,000 per unit. Cap Senior’s assets were much better.... Read More »

REIT Partnership Picks Up Tennessee Properties
A regional operator partnered with a REIT to purchase two assisted living/memory care communities in Tennessee. The two identical 87-unit communities were built in 2000 and have maintained a strong reputation in their respective markets of Knoxville and Chattanooga. Occupancy was in the low-80s, and the buyers saw an opportunity to enter two targeted markets and improve performance at the sites. The operating margin could also improve from the current 20% on more than $7.35 million of revenues. Plus, there is adjacent land next to each community, which enables the new owner to expand services in the future. According to the panelists on our recent webinar “Assisted Living: Where are...

Where Are Values Now? | August 26, 2021
After census plunged 1,000 basis points across the country, has the assisted living recovery met expectations following the pandemic? Pent-up demand for this need-based product may have already exhausted itself, and rampant discounting would theoretically affect the cash flow recovery. Not only that, but the economic effects of the pandemic have hit communities differently, with “B” and “C” properties less financially flexible to meet rising wages, higher infection control costs and lower occupancy without a significant hit to their bottom lines. Investors have adapted to get deals done, propelling M&A activity to pre-pandemic heights this summer. But the properties they are targeting,... Read More »
Ziegler Closes Financing for Texas SNF
Ziegler recently closed a $13.6 million refinancing for Mountain View Health and Rehabilitation, a skilled nursing facility owned by Altitude Health Services. This 187-bed facility in El Paso, Texas was acquired by Altitude in 2016 using bank financing. Taking out that debt, Altitude locked in a low, fixed interest rate below 3% with non-recourse debt for 35 years thanks to the HUD refinance. Ziegler Managing Director Christopher Utz noted this new refinancing was difficult to close and had several moving parts. One complication was a large outbreak of Covid-19 in El Paso during summer 2020, and Mountain View Health and Rehabilitation was impacted as a result. As of June 2020, when...
