Pandemic-Driven Change in Senior Care
This pandemic is lasting longer than some people hoped for, and the longer it does, the greater likelihood of more change. I remember in April talking to a few industry professionals (you know who you are) who thought this “coronavirus thing” would be mostly history by July. So did President Trump. The problem is, hope is never a good business plan. I took the unpopular opinion back then that it was going to be a long, tough slog for the industry. I wish I had been wrong. Because of the pandemic, there have been all sorts of news stories about what is going to happen to the nursing home business. No one can predict the future, not even me. The reality is, however, that the number of beds... Read More »
Acquisition Offerings Coming Alive
As you are aware by now, not only has the seniors housing and care M&A market seen a significant drop in volume, but most of the limited sales activity we have seen is from deals negotiated before the pandemic really started. Now, a few deal offerings have just been disclosed, almost simultaneously. First, the Tampa office of Cushman & Wakefield just went to market with a 187-unit community outside Springfield, Massachusetts that has 129 independent living cottages, 40 IL apartment units and 18 assisted living units, all on 46 acres. The cottage homes average 1,200 square feet. The C&W team was hired through a bankruptcy court mandated process. The occupancy is... Read More »

A True Success Story in Oregon
About 35 years ago, an Ivy League educated pioneer decided to buy a senior living community. His friends and family thought he was nuts. In 1985, after all, it wasn’t exactly the industry where aspiring entrepreneurs went to seek their fame and fortune. So, one Shelly Smith and a financial partner bought a relatively new retirement community that only had independent living at the time, as “assisted living” was not yet in the industry vernacular. Located in Salem, Oregon, Smith started expanding the campus in the early 1990s and built one of the first assisted living communities in Oregon. After that, he added IL cottages in 1997, more assisted living units in 1997, and picked... Read More »
Ziegler Refinances Virginia CCRC With Bank Placement
Ziegler announced another bank financing after a spate of recent closings, including a construction financing for a Michigan CCRC, a refinance of a Pennsylvania CCRC and one for a CCRC in Texas, just to name a few. The most recent deal was arranged for Warm Hearth Village, a not-for-profit CCRC in Blacksburg, Virginia that was founded in 1974. It has since grown to 259 independent living units, 55 active adult units, 150 assisted living units and 60 skilled nursing beds on a 220-acre campus. There were nine outstanding direct bank placements with three different banks on the property, so ownership sought to consolidate debt and also fund about $2 million in planned campus... Read More »
