New Jersey Buyer Plans MC Conversion for PA Personal Care Home
A small personal care home in Allentown, Pennsylvania, will transition to 100% memory care after a New Jersey-based operator acquired the community for $2.25 million, or $112,500 per unit. The purchase included an adjacent home that was used by the community for various purposes, which pushed the final price up in the end. Built in 1948 and expanded in 2002, the community had around 19 residents at the time of marketing, with monthly rents ranging between $1,800 and $2,500. It operated at a healthy margin around 28%, but new ownership saw an opportunity to convert the community to 100% memory care and command rents closer to $4,000 per month. Some cosmetic renovations will also be... Read More »
Berkadia Closes Seven Financings
Berkadia announced $177 million in financings across seven deals, with Bianca Andujo, Ed Williams, Jay Healy, Rafael Nobo and Chris Cain working on the transactions. There were four HUD loans, the largest being a $62 million arranged by Mr. Williams for a senior living community in Portland, Oregon. At 70% loan-to-value, the financing retired a Berkadia-arranged 232/223(a)(7) loan from 2021 and a surplus cash note provided by Berkadia’s Proprietary Lending Group. Mr. Williams also secured a $13.65 million loan for a 100-unit assisted living/memory care community in Arizona that qualified for reduced seasoning and refinanced a cash-out loan originated in late 2021.

The news comes more than a year after the company evaluated the JV and determined that the carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value of its investment, and that the decline was not temporary. Things have not gotten significantly better since the evaluation, with occupancy at around 75% and 76%, according to Mr. Matros. On approximately $237 million of revenues for the nine months ended September 2022, the portfolio also registered... Read More »

Brookdale Senior Living Has Mixed Results
On the surface, it looks like Brookdale Senior Living posted decent results for the third quarter. Weighted average occupancy for the quarter increased by 180 basis points sequentially to 76.4%, and by 390 basis points from the year-ago quarter. RevPar increased by 9.7% year over year, and contract labor plunged sequentially by over 40%. But, overall weighted average occupancy is still low at 76.4%, and to get to true profitability again, it needs to get to 85%, which is a long way to go. When looking at same-community results (which includes the vast majority of their communities), community operating expenses increased by 11.1% year over year, while revenue increased by 9.9%. That... Read More »
Welltower’s Third Quarter Results Improve
Three months ago, we reported that Welltower’s CEO, Shankh Mitra, seemed a little depressed on his second quarter earnings call. He was not happy with his portfolio’s performance. He is a little happier today with the third quarter performance, and so are investors, who sent the shares up 8% on the results and other news. Compared with a year ago, Welltower’s same-community SHOP portfolio has seen occupancy increase by 390 basis points, revenues increase by 10.6% and net operating income jump by 17.5%. Now, we are talking about coming from a bad place in the history of the portfolio, so we would expect to see good increases. On the negative side, same-community compensation expense...

Well, well, well. Three months ago, after reviewing Welltower’s second quarter earnings call, we questioned how long ProMedica Health’s board would continue to subsidize huge operating losses suffered by its subsidiary, ProMedica Senior Care, under its joint venture with Welltower. It turns out, not much longer. Both companies just announced that the 147 nursing facilities, formerly known as the HCR ManorCare portfolio, were being sold to a new joint venture between Welltower and Integra Health (or possibly Integra Healthcare Properties). Not to be confused with California-based Integral Senior Living with more than 100 communities, orIntegraCare with 18 communities in three states, or a... Read More »
