Momentous Healthcare Adds in Ohio
Forest Healthcare Properties was brought on by an Ohio-based owner/operator in a lease-to-purchase for a skilled nursing facility in Ohio. The owner was looking to divest from this region, and the buyer was Momentous Healthcare. Newly renovated, the facility comprises 100 beds with an in-house dialysis component near Cleveland, Ohio. The asset sits on 4.6 acres with 26,627 total square feet. Occupancy was low at the time of closing, so there is certainly some room for improvement for the new operator. But the lease-to-purchase structure gives them time to ramp up census and cash flow before taking over ownership. Joe Schiff and Jeffrey Vegh handled the transaction. Read More »

Performing SNF Sells in Delaware
Evans Senior Investments successfully sold a skilled nursing facility in Dover, Delaware. Courtland Manor was previously owned by an independent owner/operator that was represented by the Evans team. Built in 1986, the 70-bed facility boasted a consistent five-star CMS rating. It also maintained high occupancy rates, in the high 80% range prior to the pandemic and never dropping below 70% after it. But the owner decided it was a good time to exit the long-term care industry. They may have been right, with SNF values staying above pre-pandemic prices, on average, according to the recently released 29th Edition of The Senior Care Acquisition Report.
