60 Seconds With Ben Swett: The New Senior Living Rankings
U.S. News & World Report announced that it is getting into the business of ranking seniors housing communities, after already doing the same for nursing homes. We’re happy to see the initiative since improved transparency for the sector and recognition of the services that operators provide is a good thing. We are also pleased that apparently, U.S. News will dedicate one journalist to cover the sector and help educate consumers on the differences between seniors housing and SNFs, which national and local media fail to do all too often. After working with some industry leaders and associations to create a rankings methodology, Activated Insights, run by CEO Jacquelyn Kung, is... Read More »

Other Healthcare Sectors See Healthy August Acquisition Activity
The summer surge in deal-making continued into August, and across most of the healthcare industry, with a total of 150 deals announced across all 13 healthcare sectors, a 30% increase from August of 2020. However, this was a small dip from last month when there were 155 deals made, but we imagine a few more deals may rise to the surface. This is according to statistics from our new platform LevinPro HC, which features the latest healthcare news, deals, insights and analysis. Last month was an especially busy time for the Physician Medical Groups (PMG) sector, which accounted for nearly 25% of all deals announced in August 2021, with dental and ophthalmology practices making up nearly half...

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. So ultimately,... Read More »

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. Occupancy at the time of marketing was 77%, leading to subpar operations for the community. Prior to the pandemic, the community averaged a 90% census with 41 short-term rehabilitation residents contributing to $15.6 million in revenue. But the facility also had a high expense structure and was not very profitable even before the pandemic. ESI marketed the... Read More »Schedule a demo
