The rise in acuity in post-acute care is certainly having its impact in the skilled nursing M&A market. Historically, the range in price per bed for skilled nursing facilities has been approximately $100,00 to $125,000 per bed, according to the 2015 Senior Care Acquisition Report. Every year, there are always sales between $10,000 and $20,000 per bed, with the occasional sale below $10,000 per bed. And there have always been sales above $100,000. But in 2014, while the low price was a typical $9,000 per bed, the high was an astounding $268,500 per bed, resulting in a spread of $259,500. There was also a record number of deals valued over $100,000 per bed, with 19 transactions, which... Read More »Medicaid Managed Care Coming To You

When managed care first entered the skilled nursing world, it was viewed as somewhere between private pay and Medicaid, but closer to the former in terms of daily rates. But that was in its infancy, and that was not involving Medicaid managed care plans. States are getting slammed with the expansion of Medicaid enrollees, and when the federal government’s commitment to cover the additional costs begins to decrease next year, watch out. The managed care companies will be very different from state Medicaid... Read More »Occupancy and rising development
What do the occupancy numbers recently released by Brookdale Senior Living portend for the seniors housing industry? As expected, the company announced a decline in its occupancy, posting an 80 basis point drop from the previous quarter at its legacy Brookdale properties, and a sequential 110 basis point drop at its legacy Emeritus properties. When compared to the first quarter of last year, the decline is even more pronounced, with occupancy at both groups of properties falling 110 basis points and 200 basis points, respectively. Even when taking into account the expected negative effects of the Emeritus merger at the community level, an especially harsh winter and a relatively...
