Ohio Owner/Operator Exits the Senior Care Industry

After more than 30 years in the business, a local owner/operator in Ohio exited the senior care industry with the help of Connor Doherty and Ryan Kelly of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors. Located in the northeast part of the state, the property features 152 total units, with 99 for skilled nursing and 53 for assisted living. It was built in 1976, with a major renovation in 2002.

Blueprint Sells Two Struggling Senior Care Facilities

Two Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors teams arranged a couple of sales of struggling senior care facilities. First, Christopher Hyldahl, Gideon Orion and Kendra Gonzalez represented a private real estate investor in its sale of a 50-bed skilled nursing facility in the Los Angeles, California market.

Blueprint Sells Successful Senior Living Community in Missouri

Blueprint Sells Successful Senior Living Community in Missouri

Brooks Blackmon and Ben Firestone of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors sprung into action this year in Springfield, Missouri, where the pair sold a 119-unit senior living community on behalf of a Missouri-based ownership group.
