60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: You’ve Got To Be Kidding
Sadly, we are not kidding. President Trump has shown his true colors, and his true loyalty to the almighty dollar, with yet another pardon of one of the bad boys of senior care. But this bad boy is the worst of the group. We are referring to the just announced pardon of criminal Joseph Schwartz, the former owner of Skyline Health. Several months ago, after his last senior care pardon, we ended a story with, who’s next, Joseph Schwartz? We were kidding, but not laughing now. Not only did he commit a nearly $40 million fraud against us, the taxpayers, but he also put the well-being of several thousand patients in his nursing homes in jeopardy as he sucked as much cash out of them as he could...

Sale Revives Stalled Seniors Housing Development
Blueprint closed on the sale of a partially developed seniors housing community in Pearland, Texas. Originally planned as a 198-unit independent living, assisted living and memory care community on 9.6 acres, the project was approximately 60% complete when development stalled. Blueprint targeted seniors housing operators and developers, as well as multifamily groups exploring adaptive reuse options. After a years-long process and multiple offers, including two that tied up the asset prior to closing, Moody National Companies emerged as the ultimate buyer.

Seller Boosts Census Ahead of Sale to JV
Senwell Senior Investment Advisors sold Rose Hill Retirement Community, a 66-unit, 87-bed assisted living community in Marion, North Carolina. Originally built as a hospital, Rose Hill has been transformed by the seller over the past two decades into a senior care community. After a previous attempt to sell the community was unsuccessful, ownership engaged Senwell, which connected the owners with an experienced operator with an existing portfolio. During the due diligence process, census improved, resulting in a stronger and more stabilized business than originally anticipated. That’s a broker’s dream. Rose Hill’s strong private pay model, minimal competition in the local market and stable... Read More »
Joint Venture Buys Orange County Community
A high-end seniors housing community in Orange County sold with the help of CBRE National Senior Housing. Aron Will and John Sweeny represented the joint venture seller in the deal, while Will and Matthew Kuronen arranged acquisition financing from a national bank.
