Cascadia Healthcare announced the acquisition of Pinewood Terrace, a 92-bed skilled nursing facility in Colville, Washington. The facility sits on 1.5 acres just miles from the Canadian border. Blake Bozett of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors marketed this asset on behalf of a seller looking to exit the Washington SNF market to pursue acquisitions in states with more favorable reimbursement and fewer regulatory challenges. Mr. Bozett marketed the asset to regional owner/operators looking to acquire a SNF at an appealing per-bed price with attractive HUD financing. Cascadia emerged as the buyer with the intention to increase their presence in the northern Idaho and Washington area.... Read More »60 Seconds With Swett: Interest Rate Concerns Cooling M&A Market
In the last couple of months, we have heard from a number of people in the dealmaking business that rising interest rates have caused their potential buyers to hit pause, and a couple of major investors even said that pencils were down for the time being. We can’t say we’re surprised, given where wages have gone and what other issues inflation has caused. And if future earnings are affected by permanently higher labor costs alone, then the higher debt payments caused by higher rates really won’t cut it for those buyers. We have also heard that bid-ask spreads were widening, which will affect transaction volume. The terms “bid-ask spread” and “pencils down” conjure up memories of the worst...

Two newly built assisted living/memory care communities in the Detroit, Michigan area found new owners thanks to the team at Evans Senior Investments. Built between 2019 and 2020, the communities were smaller in size, with less than 65 units at each location. That meant that ownership (a growing regional operator) could quickly fill the communities, even during the pandemic, with occupancy standing at 88% at the time of marketing. The communities also boasted a 34% operating margin at that time, and in January 2022 the seller implemented inflation-based rental rate increases for existing residents that averaged an increase of 12%. An added $400,000 of revenue as a result surely made the... Read More »KIRCO/Phoenix Open Alabama Community

Operated by Phoenix, the community offers 105 independent living and 27 memory care units, beginning to welcome residents this April. Amenities include an outdoor pool, wellness center, pub, beauty salon and spa, yoga studio, pickleball and bocce ball courts. The project represented the 10th Alabama property under the Phoenix Senior Living brand. Read More »Atlas Healthcare Acquires Connecticut Portfolio
Atlas Healthcare, a skilled nursing provider based in central New Jersey, acquired a portfolio of 3 senior care properties in the greater Hartford, Connecticut area. Evans Senior Investments represented them in the transaction. Featuring one independent living community and two skilled nursing facilities in Manchester and Vernon, the portfolio totals 114 independent living units and 246 skilled nursing beds. Prior to the pandemic, the properties were 92%+ occupied and featured a strong post-acute rehab census mix within the skilled nursing portion. But operations took a hit, and the portfolio overall was losing money. Paul Liistro, CEO and administrator of the three properties, sold the... Read More »CCRCs Continue to Outperform
Investment banking firm Ziegler just came out with its quarterly analysis of the CCRC (LPC) market, using the NIC MAP census data. For the 99 NIC primary and secondary markets, CCRC average census increased by 50 basis points to 86.0% from the first to the second quarter. This is about 690 basis points higher than non-CCRCs. The analysis covers 1,097 not-for-profit and for-profit CCRCs, both entrance-fee and rental in the 99 markets. We do not know about the other 900+ CCRCs in the country. Occupancy growth since the bottom of the pandemic has been slower in CCRCs than the rest of seniors housing mostly because census did not fall as much during the pandemic, with a relatively healthier...
