Blueprint Facilitates SNF Sale in Missouri

Blueprint Facilitates SNF Sale in Missouri

Michael Segal and Ben Firestone of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors recently facilitated the sale of a 96-bed skilled nursing facility in central Missouri. Built in the late 1980s and renovated in the early 1990s, Valley View Health & Rehabilitation is no stranger to Blueprint.  In 2018, Blueprint represented the current seller of Valley View, an undisclosed REIT, in leasing this facility along with 10 others in the state to a new operating tenant under a master lease agreement. While the facility’s performance improved under the new operator, Valley View represented a geographic outlier to the provider’s other locations across metropolitan areas in Missouri.

Evans Senior Investments Sells Garden State SNF

Evans Senior Investments represented the seller of a 120-bed skilled nursing facility in New Jersey, which traded for $24 million, or $200,000 per bed. The facility was built in 2000 and has seen multiple renovations since then, with the 65 rooms being private or semi-private. Its residents primarily pay through Medicare and Medicaid.

60 Seconds With Steve Monroe: The Biden Administration Does It Again

The new requirement issued by the Biden Administration to force all nursing home workers to be vaccinated by late September, or else the facility will lose all Medicaid and Medicare funding, has unintended consequences that even a moron could see. The rationale was to “level the playing field,” by which I assume they mean preventing workers from leaving one facility with a vaccine mandate policy for another that does not have one. So gee, make all employees get vaccinated or the facility loses 90% of its revenue sources. If they don’t have staff, they can’t take care of people anyway. The problem is that by picking on nursing homes, the employees who don’t want to get jabbed can go work... Read More »
