Knapp-Stahler Group Announce Three Closings
The Knapp-Stahler Group at Marcus & Millichap is heating up heading into NIC’s Fall Conference, announcing three closings across the country. Nick Stahler and Jeff Gabele first sold a 120-bed skilled nursing facility in Lexington, Kentucky on behalf of a large publicly traded operator. Built in 1986 and renovated/expanded in 2011, the property is in good physical condition. Operationally, however, it experienced significant setbacks during the pandemic, but census rebounded somewhat by the end of the sales process at 70%. That allowed the original offering price to stand, but it remains undisclosed. Dwight Capital arranged acquisition financing for the buyer, a high-net-worth... Read More »

The Ensign Group Shines, Again
We have still not figured out how The Ensign Group continues to outperform the rest of the skilled nursing industry when so many companies and providers are still hurting, with many of them still not able to make lease payments in full. For the past year, we have wondered if the only way to perform as well as they have is to cook the books, so to speak. That idea was discarded, and while we know they operate their model with each facility run by a mini-CEO with full local decision-making responsibilities and run it successfully, we continue to scratch our heads and wonder why others can’t do what they do. It just must be the culture, but obviously, one that needs to be mimicked by others,... Read More »

Marcus & Millichap Facilitates Virginia Acquisition
English Meadows Senior Living, a Mid-Atlantic owner/operator of 11 communities, added another community to its Virginia portfolio with the purchase of White Oaks at Williamsburg. Built in 2015 and opened in early 2017, the 48-unit memory care community is located in Williamsburg. It features three buildings with 16 units in each. Phoenix, Arizona-based New Dawn Assisted Living was the original developer of this property (plus another in Richmond) but filed for bankruptcy protection before finishing either project. A private investor with a seniors housing portfolio in the Midwest had purchased the Williamsburg project in 2016 for $7.5 million and finished construction soon... Read More »

Bain Capital and CSH Sell Seniors Housing Portfolio
Bain Capital Real Estate and Capitol Seniors Housing have sold a portfolio of seven seniors housing communities located across four states to an undisclosed buyer. We’ll have more details to follow in the November issue of The SeniorCare Investor, but what we know right now is that there are 598 total units of assisted living and memory care. They were relatively new, Class-A communities, so we imagine they sold for a high (albeit undisclosed) amount. Bain and CSH had started growing the portfolio in 2015 through an initial acquisition and subsequent new developments. Read More »60 Seconds with Steve Monroe & Ben Swett: See Y’all in Houston
A lot has changed since we were last elbow bumping with people at the San Diego NIC conference in March 2020. There have been some other in-person conferences in the last few months, but next week’s NIC will be really the first time that the senior care industry is reunited since the pandemic. And we are looking forward to seeing everyone once again. When we’re in Houston, we’d love to hear about your experiences, the difficulties and your successes in the last year and a half whether as an operator, investor, lender or broker. And of course, about any deals you are currently working on. But we are also going to be asking for your predictions in 2022. Be forewarned. We also have our own... Read More »Schedule a demo
