Portfolio of 15 AL Communities in Wisconsin Sells
Senior Care Realty is finishing the year strong with the sale of 15 assisted living communities in Wisconsin for $13.35 million, or about $60,000 per unit and $54,700 per licensed bed.

Blueprint Facilitates Refinancing of Two Communities
Green Lake Senior Living, a Washington State owner/operator, was able to procure a cash-out refinance on two of its seniors housing communities in the Tri-Cities area with the help of Alex Florea and Dan Mahoney at Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors’ Capital Markets group. Green Lake acquired the communities during the pandemic as value-add investments from a pair of national operators. Both were older, “C” quality communities combining for 160 beds. Green Lake was able to quickly improve performance through its regional presence and by leaning into the state’s Medicaid program. Such an improvement made a cash-out refinance a no-brainer, and Blueprint marketed the... Read More »
SLIB Sells Struggling SNF in Pennsylvania
The owner of a struggling skilled nursing facility in northwestern Pennsylvania looking to sell has decided to add another performing facility to the deal in order to sweeten the pot. In the end, both sold to a New York-based investor with a growing presence in the Keystone State. Toby Siefert and Ryan Saul of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the transaction. The first facility in Erie features 80 beds and was deemed to be non-core due to occupancy being below 50% and cash flow being negative. It was built in 1963 and 1968 and had a union in place. The other facility, located about two and 1/2 hours away in Clearfield, had 240 beds, but only 180 were functional because one floor... Read More »
