Evans Senior Investments Sells Garden State SNF

Evans Senior Investments Sells Garden State SNF

Evans Senior Investments represented the seller of a 120-bed skilled nursing facility in New Jersey, which traded for $24 million, or $200,000 per bed. The facility was built in 2000 and has seen multiple renovations since then, with the 65 rooms being private or semi-private. Its residents primarily pay through Medicare and Medicaid. Occupancy at the time of marketing was 77%, leading to subpar operations for the community. Prior to the pandemic, the community averaged a 90% census with 41 short-term rehabilitation residents contributing to $15.6 million in revenue. But the facility also had a high expense structure and was not very profitable even before the pandemic. ESI marketed the... Read More »

60 Seconds With Steve Monroe: The Biden Administration Does It Again

The new requirement issued by the Biden Administration to force all nursing home workers to be vaccinated by late September, or else the facility will lose all Medicaid and Medicare funding, has unintended consequences that even a moron could see. The rationale was to “level the playing field,” by which I assume they mean preventing workers from leaving one facility with a vaccine mandate policy for another that does not have one. So gee, make all employees get vaccinated or the facility loses 90% of its revenue sources. If they don’t have staff, they can’t take care of people anyway. The problem is that by picking on nursing homes, the employees who don’t want to get jabbed can go work... Read More »

A CMS Study Not “Common Sense” Checked

A CMS Study Not “Common Sense” Checked

Last week the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released a study comparing Medicare beneficiaries in nursing homes (about 1.4 million of them) to those Medicare beneficiaries in the general community at large (60.6 million) between March and December of 2020. They were trying to see if there was a difference between the two groups in terms of becoming infected with COVID-19, hospitalized as a result, and then death from it.  One article about the story was titled “Medicare nursing home residents more likely to be diagnosed, hospitalized and die from COVID-19 than beneficiaries not in facilities.” Thank you, Captain Obvious. And surprisingly, this did not come from The New York... Read More »
