Death By or With COVID
We are sure every provider is sick and tired of hearing about how many residents have died of COVID-19 in a nursing home or assisted living community. The problem is that the classification may be all wrong. Unfortunately, there may be a financial reason for such classifications, as in more reimbursement, or more governmental aid. And for those who can profit from making this pandemic seem worse than it is (yes, they do exist), piling up the number of COVID deaths helps to make their case. It has certainly helped the mainstream media and their advertising dollars. But here is the problem, at least as it relates to the deaths in assisted living, memory care and nursing homes....

Merrill Commercial Real Estate Sells Memory Care Community Out of Receivership
Tyler Merrill of Merrill Commercial Real Estate took an Oregon memory care community that was in receivership and sold it to a group of individual investors new to the industry. To take on the turnaround, that buyer group hired a Northwest-based operator to manage the community. It’s not an easy time for that, to say the least, but with a purchase price of $3 million, or $54,500 per unit, there is certainty some wiggle room to add value. Built in 1998, this 55-unit memory care community is located in Coos Bay on the central Oregon coast. Its previous owner originally acquired the community as part of a four-property portfolio in 2008, and Mr. Merrill was brought in to sell all four in... Read More »
M&T Realty Arranges HUD Loan
The HUD market seems to be the steadiest in the senior care lending world since the onset of COVID-19, after a few hiccups and delays earlier this year. Joining the activity, M&T Realty Capital Corporation arranged a HUD refinance for an assisted living community in Spokane, Washington. The non-recourse loan totaled $13.83 million and came with a 30-year, fully amortizing term. Plus, M&T secured an interest rate well below 2.75%. Who wouldn’t take that? Originally built in the 1940s with an addition in the early 1980s and renovations in the 2000s, the community features 212 units of independent living and assisted living in five interconnected buildings. Located adjacent to... Read More »

The property consists of two buildings connected by both a ground-level breezeway and upper level hallways. There are 66 assisted living “light” units that are certified for... Read More »
Beware The Flu Season?
Fears of the flu season compounding the effects of the “second wave” of the coronavirus are overblown, and this is why. Almost every conversation surrounding the coronavirus and outbreaks in nursing homes or assisted living communities eventually gets around to the double whammy of a “second wave” combined with the upcoming flu season. Yes, providers will have to be vigilant, but they have never been as well prepared for the flu season as they are today. Think about it. Less than a year ago, do you remember ever walking into any senior care facility where the staff were all wearing masks, where hand sanitizers were everywhere, where your temperature was taken at the entrance,...

Blueprint Handles Cleveland Closing
A private owner/operator looking to expand its presence and increase its operational leverage in the Midwest acquired an assisted living/memory care community in Cleveland, Ohio, with the help of Connor Doherty, Ryan Kelly, Amy Sitzman and Giancarlo Riso of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors. Featuring 133 units about evenly split between assisted living and memory care, this community was built in the early 2000s. It has struggled with occupancy, leading its national owner/operator to seek a sale. Blueprint brought the asset to a well-capitalized private owner/operator, which will reposition the community as an affordable option in the Cleveland MSA by utilizing the state’s... Read More »
Private REIT Finds New Operator For Colorado Communities
Fresh off of arranging a partnership buyout for an assisted living campus in Illinois, Bill Janis and Mario Wilson of Helios Healthcare Advisors found a new operator for two assisted living communities in Colorado. Both built in the late-1990s, these communities were owned by a private REIT based and incorporated in the U.S. but controlled by a Hong Kong private investment management firm. Around 25% of their census was made up of Medicaid residents, and their operating performance could be improved. Part of the reason for that was the assets were far from the prior operator’s Santa Barbara, California headquarters. There is also the opportunity to reposition them to better compete in...
