Behavioral Skilled Nursing Facility Sells In Tucson

Behavioral Skilled Nursing Facility Sells In Tucson

A unique skilled nursing facility with a sizable behavioral health census sold in Tucson, Arizona, in a deal handled by Evans Senior Investments. Those behavioral beds proved to be quite the boon to cash flow, with their Medicaid rate nearing $300 per day. Apart from them, the facility had several areas to improve on, including its 71% census, 16% quality mix and operational capacity (just 211 of 240 total licensed beds were functional).

Summer Sales at Senior Living Investment Brokerage

Senior Living Investment Brokerage ended July with two closings. First, a family owner that had operated a pair of Texas skilled nursing facilities for decades recently decided to sell to an independent owner/operator based in the Waco area for $9.35 million, or about $38,000 per bed. Built in 1978 and 1964, respectively, the 131-bed facility in Pasadena was 88% occupied while the 115-bed facility in Mineola was 78% occupied. Combined, the pair brought in approximately $460,000 in EBITDA on $11.95 million of revenues, so the buyer will look to improve that 4% operating margin. Matthew Alley of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the transaction. Mr. Punzel also closed the sale (with... Read More »
