60 Seconds with Ben Swett: M&A Hits a High in 2021
When it rains, it pours in senior care M&A. First, we noticed a significant uptick in deal activity this month, with over 30 transactions announced since June 1st. Not December’s level of activity, but we’ll take it. Then, Harrison Street announced the largest purchase in the industry in two years, spending $1.2 billion on 24 Oakmont communities. But yesterday, when we were still digesting the sale of former SNF giant Kindred Healthcare to LifePoint, Welltower made the biggest splash of all, buying Holiday Retirement’s owned portfolio of 86 independent living properties for $1.58 billion. Not only that, but Atria Senior Living will acquire the operating business of Holiday for an... Read More »
Dissecting the Holiday Retirement Deal
Welltower announced the acquisition of Holiday Retirement’s owned portfolio of 86 independent living communities for $1.58 billion, or just about $152,000 per unit. Simultaneously, Atria Senior Living said that it was acquiring Holiday’s operating business for an undisclosed price. Either of these announcements would normally be major news, but they also come on the heels of Harrison Street’s $1.2 billion purchase of 24 properties operated by Oakmont Senior Living and a very busy June (so far) with more than 30 individual transactions already made public. Perhaps the tide has turned for investment activity in seniors housing and care. The Welltower deal also represents yet another... Read More »

National Health Investors Issues Another Update
National Health Investors is continuing its steady census progress, but the rent deferrals for Bickford Senior Living just will not end. The silver lining is that the deferral amounts are decreasing, from $3 million in both March and April of this year and $2 million in June. Now, the two parties have agreed to $1.5 million in rent deferrals per month in June and July. That will bring Bickford’s total deferred rents with NHI to $11.75 million for the year, so far, which is expected to be repaid over a period of 18 months commencing on October 1, 2021, at an interest rate of 8% from the date of the deferral. That is on top of the $3.75 million of Bickford deferred rent from Q4:20 and... Read More »
Another Family Owner/Operator Exits the Industry
As Covid-19 has led to overall decreases in senior housing occupancy levels, Sherer Management joined several of its peers by closing down its multigenerational family business with the sale of its last two CCRCs in Iowa. These properties include a total of 188 beds at Rose Vista in Woodbine and Longview Home in Missouri Valley.

The Sherer family had owned and operated these businesses for over 60 years. Kevin Laidlaw and Dominic Porretta of Lument Securities led the transaction and advised Sherer on the sale of their businesses.... Read More »
HJ Sims Refinances Michigan Provider
It took a couple of tries, but HJ Sims arranged $41.9 million in financing for Sunset Retirement Communities, a multi-campus, not-for-profit senior living provider in Michigan. The company has grown its holdings over the past decade, starting development on its Jenison campus in 2009 and completing it in 2015. Then, after completing a market study in March 2020, Sunset determined to add a Phase III with 62 independent living apartments, 20 IL villas and amenity spaces. That was not an ideal time to begin filling a new community. After approaching potential lenders in May 2020, Sunset delayed the financing in order to focus on its existing operations. However, HJ Sims continued to explore... Read More »Recent Senior Care M&A Deals, Week Ending June 18, 2021
