Soaring With Seniors
Think about the thrill for your residents, flying in the cockpit of a two-seat biplane, soaring above the land, and free of charge. Imagine you are 90 years old and living in a senior living community, and maybe a war veteran. Life may not be as exciting as it was, especially if you are not very mobile. But also imagine if, free of charge, you could spend 15 to 20 minutes flying around in a 1940’s-vintage biplane. That is the mission of Ageless Aviation Dreams, founded in 2011 by Darryl and Carol Fisher (Mission Senior Living). So far, they have completed 3,940 “missions” in 45 states for these deserving residents of your senior living communities, at no cost to you, other than getting... Read More »

Regional Operator Expands Its Southeast Portfolio

When an EB-5 Investment Goes Wrong
Sometimes a brand-new physical plant and high-quality operator isn’t enough to keep a senior care facility from hitting financial difficulties. That was the case of a two-year old transitional care facility in Tucson, Arizona that just sold to a Chicago-based owner/operator in a transaction led by Amy Sitzman, Jacob Gehl and Humair Sabir of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors. Developed at an approximate cost of $24 million, or $270,000 per bed, the 103-bed facility was not open for very long before it was placed into SEC receivership under the supervision of Thomas Seaman and Associates. Why? The group (unrelated to the operator) who raised the EB-5 equity for the project had... Read More »
