Blueprint Closes SNF Sale in Virginia
Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors continued its recent surge in closings with the sale of a rural Virginia skilled nursing facility. Located just off I-81 in the southwest Virginia town of Rural Retreat, the 120-bed facility was built in 2015 with 20 private and 50 semiprivate units. Shortly after it achieved stabilization, its operator, Traditions Senior Management, decided to execute its below-market purchase option on the facility’s real estate. Occupancy remained strong until the pandemic when the facility like many others saw census dip. Being one of the newest facilities in the area, it was still able to attract a healthy quality mix. But financials could certainly be... Read More »
60 Seconds with Ben Swett: National Health Investors Issues Another Positive Occupancy Update
Transcript Inflation worries and fears surrounding the delta variant took the stock market and publicly traded senior care companies on a bit of a roller coaster the last couple of days, but we were also delighted to see some positive news come from National Health Investors. From May to June, the REIT saw its occupancy jump across its three major operating partners. The nine SLC properties rose 50 basis points to 79.1%, Bickford’s 42 properties saw a 90-basis point increase to 78.2%, and the 26 properties operated by Holiday Retirement saw census rise by a more modest 20 basis points to rest at 74.1%. Still a long way to go, and we’re not sure what kind of rent discounts are being... Read More »
Diversified Healthcare Trust Transitioning 66 Communities
A few months ago, Diversified Healthcare Trust announced it would transition 108 of 228 senior living communities managed by Five Star Senior Living to new operators. It has now found three operators to take over management of 66 of them with 4,084 units, or 62 units per community. The 108 communities have approximately 7,500 units, while the remaining 120 communities have about 18,000 units.

Naperville, Illinois-based Charter Senior Living will be taking over management of communities in... Read More »
Blueprint Facilitates SNF Divestment in Michigan
Mike Segal and Dan Mahoney of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors helped a Detroit-area owner/operator of skilled nursing facilities divest a geographical outlier in Battle Creek, Michigan. Built in 1967 and renovated in 1985, the 82-bed facility was owned and operated by Advantage Living Center. It was underperforming, leading the owner to bring in the Blueprint team to market and sell the asset. The buyer ended up being a New York-based equity group interested in expanding its Midwest presence into Michigan with a new operating partner. There were some physical plant issues that required additional inspections and some delays with the CON approval. But even with bringing on a new... Read More »

Removing Financial Barriers to Boost Occupancy
Coming out of the pandemic-induced senior living financial fiasco, top on almost every provider’s mind is how to increase their census as soon as possible, and then how to do it without sacrificing operating margins. Help is on the way. For most seniors and their families, making the move into senior living is a big decision, both emotionally as well as financially. Both can be significant hurdles, but the financial side is now going to be easier to deal with, especially if you don’t want to be rushed into selling your home or selling assets to come up with cash for a large entrance-fee payment for CCRCs, or your first several months of rent. Readers may remember 20 years ago... Read More »
Blueprint Facilitates Sale of AL Community in South Carolina
Brooks Blackmon, Amy Sitzman and Giancarlo Riso of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors recently facilitated the sale of a 72-unit assisted living community in Columbia, South Carolina. Built in the late-1990s, the all-private pay community recently underwent a $1.25 million renovation. It features all private units and mid-market rates. The marketing process focused on regional owners and operators, and Blueprint ultimately advised the seller to move forward with a buyer that all parties had previously transacted with. Given the level of familiarity between the buyer and seller, as well as the all-cash offer, the transaction closed within 90 days of going under LOI. The buyer will... Read More »
