Blueprint Sells Kansas SNF

Blueprint Sells Kansas SNF

A well-maintained skilled nursing facility located about 20 minutes north of Lawrence, Kansas sold for significantly below replacement cost in a deal arranged by Amy Sitzman, Giancarlo Riso and Michael Segal of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors.   Why such a low price?

There was also upside in census, expense management and case mix at the 60-bed facility. So, Blueprint brought the deal to an owner/operator that it had worked with before and could guarantee a high degree of closing certainty. Completing the due diligence and... Read More »

Summit LTC Management Acquires East Texas SNF

The Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors team worked together to sell a 112-bed skilled nursing facility located near the University of Texas Health, East Texas campus in Athens, Texas.

It historically operated well while enrolled in QIPP, but a new local competitor put downward pressure on the facility’s quality mix, and surely on its operating margins too.  The undisclosed REIT seller decided to divest, and after five competitive offers, Summit LTC Management, a Fort Worth-based owner/operator, was selected as the buyer. It has an existing presence in East Texas, which should help in the operational turnaround. The... Read More »
