Family Office Purchases Midwest Community
For the second time in just 18 months, Evans Senior Investments facilitated the sale of Country Meadow Place, a 56-unit assisted living community in Mason City, Iowa. The seller was Jaybird Senior Living, a regional owner/operator that acquired the asset in 2024 for $13 million, or $232,100 per unit. Evans handled that transaction too. The community was well occupied at the time of the 2024 purchase, but the property has continued to perform well, achieving an in-place NOI margin of 36%. Through a competitive marketing process, ESI secured seven offers from institutional investors. The selected buyer was a private family office that paid $15.15 million, or $270,500 per unit. The...

Thank You Ortelius?
Brookdale Senior Living just reported June occupancy, and the increases were much better than we expected for a second quarter, which historically has been a mixed bag for the industry. Let’s just say, we were impressed. June’s same-community weighted average occupancy was 81.1%, up 220 basis points year over year and up 50 basis points sequentially. Month-end same community occupancy increased sequentially by 70 basis points to 82.8%. Occupancy levels have been steadily increasing since January, which is great for the company and shareholders. This is all happening before the third quarter, which historically has always been the best period for census gains. While shareholders should be... Read More »
SLIB Sells SNF in New Jersey
Toby Siefert of Senior Living Investment Brokerage got a skilled nursing sale in New Jersey over the finish line after survey issues caused a buyer switch-up. Built in 1980, Medford Care Center is located in the town of Medford (about an hour east of Philadelphia) and features 180 beds on an 11-acre campus. Operations were not strong, and the private owner decided to sell. The facility was marketed in the spring of 2024 and received several bids. However, just prior to closing the transaction in December 2024, there was a health survey that resulted in an admissions ban, receivership and the original buyer losing interest. With Siefert at the helm of the transaction process, the deal was... Read More »

HTG Closes Two Separate SNF Transactions
Healthcare Transactions Group (HTG) recently closed two transactions in Missouri and Maryland. The Show Me State deal involved Baptist Home of Independence, an 118-bed skilled nursing facility and 20-bed Residential Care Facility in the town of Independence. Built in 1977, the campus received a major renovation in 2021 and was 65% occupied.
