Sunny Hills Management Purchases in California
A couple of California seniors housing communities changed hands as part of a larger divestment strategy for the national developer/investor seller. Before the pandemic, that entity had purchased more than a dozen geographically disparate, older-vintage communities. But operational headwinds prompted a portfolio re-prioritization and de-levering effort. The owner engaged Kevin Lukehart, Alex Florea and Scott Frazier of Blueprint to create an exit strategy for the assets. The latest two communities to sell consisted of a 1986-vintage, 157-unit assisted living community in Corona, California, and a 1998-vintage, 101-unit assisted living and memory care community in Roseville,...

60-ish Seconds with Steve Monroe: Becoming a Statistic
I became an industry statistic last week, although not intentionally. While returning from the annual ASHA meeting in Phoenix last Wednesday, I developed a slight cough just before takeoff, which turned into a full-blown cough by landing. The next day I went to my PCP to get some drugs, and tested negative for flu, COVID and RSV. By late Friday afternoon, I was miserable. My daughter happened to be home, and seeing me struggle up the stairs, then fall at the top, unable to get up or even roll over, and then drag me into my bedroom, she made a call to a health care provider. The provider videochatted with me for less than a minute and then told my daughter to call 911 immediately. The... Read More »
