Regional Owner Acquires Wisconsin AL Community
The Senior Living Investment Brokerage team of Daniel Geraghty and Ryan Saul sold an assisted living community in central Wisconsin for an undisclosed price. Built in the early-1990s, the community was 92% occupied at the time of marketing, but occupancy reached 100% by the time of the sale. Working on behalf of a Northeast-based REIT that deemed the property to be an operational outlier, as it was their only Wisconsin property, the SLIB team procured multiple offers from interested parties. With occupancy like that, we are not surprised. In the end, the buyer was a private regional company with additional assets in Wisconsin looking to strategically add to their portfolio. They have a... Read More »

Mom & Pop Exits SNF Business in Iowa
A mom & pop sold their only skilled nursing facility in Anita, Iowa (between Omaha, Nebraska and Des Moines, Iowa), after 10 years of ownership. Featuring 46 licensed beds, the facility was built in 1965 with an addition in 1971. It was 82% occupied based on 44 effective beds, but ownership was able to operate efficiently and very profitably at an above-average margin while keeping staffing agency expenses out of the facility. Being their only facility, ownership could also focus on creating a positive culture that helps with staff retention and quality of care. An East Coast partnership that plans to lease the facility to a growing Midwest operator based in Missouri emerged as the... Read More »
Healthpeak Properties Open to Sale of CCRC Portfolio
Healthpeak Properties already made a near-complete exit of the seniors housing market after divesting about $4 billion of its seniors housing communities in 2020 and 2021, but the CEO Scott Brinker commented that a full-exit could be on the table with the sale of its remaining 15 CCRCs. In his opening comment, Mr. Brinker said “Our capital allocation priorities are focused on life science and medical office. So we’ll be opportunistic about our CCRC position.” That prompted a question from Stephen Sakwa from Evercore ISI: “…does that mean that you could potentially exit CCRCs over time if the pricing was right?” To which, Mr. Brinker responded, “Yes, I think you heard exactly...

AlerisLife Sees Healthy Occupancy Boost in Q3
AlerisLife announced its third quarter earnings results, and the good news was that its owned portfolio including 20 senior living properties saw a 290-basis point increase in quarter-end occupancy from 75.5% in Q2:22 to 78.4% Q3:22. Its managed portfolio of 120 senior living properties increased a more modest 160 basis points to 77.0% over the same period, but both figures are healthy increases. Operators need to make the most of third quarter occupancy gains before winter weather and the flu season hamper their efforts, so this is good news for Aleris. But average occupancy still falls below 80%, so there is a long way to go. The company reported a net loss for the third quarter of 2022... Read More »

A long-time CCRC client of Ziegler’s is embarking on an expansion project with revenue bonds underwritten by the specialty investment bank.
