Infinity Health Care Management Acquiring Quad Cities-Area SNF

Infinity Health Care Management Acquiring Quad Cities-Area SNF

Ray Giannini of Marcus & Millichap is close to closing the sale of a large skilled nursing facility in the Quad Cities region of Illinois and Iowa, although the process has not been easy. Featuring 245 beds and around 140,000 square feet on a 12-acre campus, the facility is owned by Rock Island County.   Built in 2007, it is actually the newest in the area, but heavy competition has kept census low (below 70%). Unfortunately, the facility has also operated at quite a significant loss for some time, too. But with such a relatively new physical plant, the opportunity is there for a new owner to turn operations around.  In September 2019, the facility was originally listed for $19... Read More »

Monarch Advisors Secures Acquisition Financing for Kansas City Facility

Helios Healthcare Advisors Arranges ALF Partnership Buyout

Helios Healthcare Advisors Arranges ALF Partnership Buyout

Mario Wilson and Bill Janis of Helios Healthcare Advisors pulled off a successful partnership buyout of an assisted living campus in Illinois. Not only that, but the pair also arranged the acquisition financing for the deal. Built in the 2000s, the 54-unit assisted living community was relatively stabilized and reported positive cash flow. At some point early in its history, the property was purchased by the partnership, but one partner is now looking to retire.   Helios was engaged to structure the sale which resulted in a transfer of stock of the operating company and a real estate asset sale for the community. Helios then arranged a fixed-rate loan with a 25-year, fully amortizing term... Read More »
Blueprint Sells Kansas SNF

Blueprint Sells Kansas SNF

A well-maintained skilled nursing facility located about 20 minutes north of Lawrence, Kansas sold for significantly below replacement cost in a deal arranged by Amy Sitzman, Giancarlo Riso and Michael Segal of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors.   Why such a low price? Other than the obvious risks of purchasing a skilled nursing facility these days, this was the only Kansas facility of the West Coast-based owner/operator. There was also upside in census, expense management and case mix at the 60-bed facility. So, Blueprint brought the deal to an owner/operator that it had worked with before and could guarantee a high degree of closing certainty. Completing the due diligence and... Read More »
Are SNFs About To Go Out Of Business?

Are SNFs About To Go Out Of Business?

A recent survey by the American Health Care Association reveals some disheartening news. If you believe the results of a survey of 463 nursing home providers by the American Health Care Association, well, we are in bigger trouble than I thought. Apparently, 40% of the respondents said they would not be able to sustain operations for another six months at the current “pace,” which we assume to mean the current census and cost levels. A whopping 72% said they would not be able to sustain operations for another year. The problem is that they, unlike the private pay seniors housing industry, have already received several billion dollars of financial aid to help during the pandemic. If they... Read More »
