Helios Handles Boston-Area SNF Sale
Bill Janis and Mario Wilson of Helios Healthcare Advisors represented a family owner in their complete exit from the skilled nursing industry with the sale of their 169-bed SNF in an upscale suburb of Boston, Massachusetts. Consistently achieving a four- or five-star rating from CMS, the facility maintained a good reputation in the local market. It was the preferred provider among the area’s ACOs and hospital systems, and as a result boasted average occupancy above 90% and a strong rehab and private pay census. The family owner had operated it for over 20 years, but the time had come for them to exit the business. The Helios team procured over 10 offers from local and regional providers... Read More »

It has been a busy year for Nick Martinez & Todd Okum of O&M Investments, having closed five acquisitions in three states.

SLIB Closes First 2020 Deal
Dave Balow just closed Senior Living Investment Brokerage’s first deal of 2020, featuring a 42-unit active adult community in Ithaca, New York.

CCRCs Are Not Dead, and Happy New Year
Two recent CCRC sales prove the point that this market can thrive. You know one of my favorite refrains by now. CCRCs are not dead. And two recent transactions prove my point. At the end of December, David Reis and his Senior Care Development, together with their equity partner Fundamental Advisors, closed on the sale of The Clare in downtown Chicago. This 338 unit/bed CCRC opened during the Great Recession and was forced to sell for 20 cents on the dollar with occupancy at 34%. Today, occupancy is at 98%, average entrance fees are back to $740,000, and they just sold it to LCS for about $320,000 per unit/bed. Talk about a great return on investment. LCS had been a minority investor and... Read More »Schedule a demo
