Brookdale’s Occupancy Keeps Improving
It is a shame that Brookdale Senior Living did not do two years ago what it has been doing for the past nine months or so. Weighted average occupancy in August 2025 was 81.8%, up 70 basis points sequentially. This was the seventh month in a row the company posted an increase. Month-end occupancy in August was 83.2%, up 60 basis points sequentially and up 280 basis points from a year ago. That represents the ninth month in a row of an increase. The proof will be in the third quarter results and whether these increases are profitable or just increases in census for the sake of growth. It will all depend on the level of discounting as well as expense control. Time will tell. Read More »
Blueprint Closes Two Texas Portfolio Transactions
During the NIC Fall conference in Austin, Blueprint announced a couple of portfolio transactions in Texas. First, Amy Sitzman and Giancarlo Riso facilitated the sale of five skilled nursing facilities located throughout the Texas Hill Country and Houston.

SLIB Handles Minnesota Receivership Sale
A senior care campus in Pine Island, Minnesota, with some operational issues in the past has found a new owner thanks to Jake Anderson, Dan Geraghty and Ryan Saul of Senior Living Investment Brokerage. Set on 6.8 acres, the campus includes Pine Haven with 70 skilled nursing beds and Evergreen featuring 24 assisted living units. Pine Haven was built in stages over the years, starting in the mid-1960s, while the AL portion was added in 1995. In 2022, the Minnesota Department of Health stepped in after the nursing facility failed to pay its employees wages, healthcare insurance and other vendor fees. The receivership began in June 2022, and the MDH kept the campus operating until a sale... Read More »
PACS CFO Resigns
PACS Group saw another potential setback to its public image, announcing that its CFO Derick Apt resigned on September 2 after it was determined that he had accepted a series of high-value items from individuals associated with a group of related entities with which PACS does business. The company was in the middle of its previously disclosed investigation into Medicare billing discrepancies in mid-July 2025 when the Audit Committee of the company’s board of directors became aware of the allegations against Apt. Based upon the results of an immediate investigation that was launched, the Committee made interim findings that Apt’s receipt of these items of value violated company... Read More »

Long-Term Owner/Operator Divests in Rural Utah
Evans Senior Investments facilitated the sale of Heirloom Inn, a 67-unit assisted living community in Price, Utah. The seller, which developed the community over 20 years ago, was independent owner/operator Shauna O’Brien. At the time of sale, the property was performing well albeit with opportunities for expense management and revenue growth. There was strong interest from buyers due to the limited supply of assisted living communities in the surrounding market, with a regional operator that offers scale being a good fit for the asset. The three-week competitive marketing process resulted in ESI ultimately identifying a buyer aligned with the seller’s long-term objectives. The transaction... Read More »
