Acts Retirement-Life Communities Disposes Non-Core Property

Acts Retirement-Life Communities decided to shed a non-core property located near Baltimore, Maryland, working with Ben Firestone and Michael Segal of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors to get the deal done.

Ardent Senior Living Sells Rochester ALP Community

Ardent Senior Living Sells Rochester ALP Community

Seven years after acquiring an assisted living/independent living community in Rochester, New York, Ardent Senior Living is selling the property to a New York-based owner/operator.

A True Success Story in Oregon

A True Success Story in Oregon

About 35 years ago, an Ivy League educated pioneer decided to buy a senior living community. His friends and family thought he was nuts. In 1985, after all, it wasn’t exactly the industry where aspiring entrepreneurs went to seek their fame and fortune. So, one Shelly Smith and a financial partner bought a relatively new retirement community that only had independent living at the time, as “assisted living” was not yet in the industry vernacular.   Located in Salem, Oregon, Smith started expanding the campus in the early 1990s and built one of the first assisted living communities in Oregon. After that, he added IL cottages in 1997, more assisted living units in 1997, and picked... Read More »

Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors Closes Six Deals

Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors Closes Six Deals

With all the difficulties in securing debt, visiting properties and obtaining third-party approvals, let alone the financial uncertainty of purchasing a senior care property right now, deals are still getting done, and Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors announced the closing of six senior care transactions in a three-day span.
