Expanding Through Decreased Acuity

An acute-care operator based in New York is not only expanding its geographic reach, but also its acuity offerings. The company already owns several post-acute/senior care assets in New York, but is launching into the Midwest with the acquisition of a 200+-unit/bed senior care campus in the Toledo, Ohio area for an undisclosed price. Built in many stages from 1963 to 2006, the property mainly consists of skilled nursing beds, with a significant number of long-term acute care (LTAC) beds, as well as assisted living and independent living units. For over 30 years, a second-generation family member owned and operated the facilities, but they are leaving to focus on their existing assisted... Read More »

Two Texas-sized SNFs sell

Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors’ most recent deal in Texas involved two large skilled nursing facilities, and some 438 beds, for a purchase price of $27.5 million, or $62,785 per bed. The facilities were owned by a well-known family in the Texas skilled nursing world that has been operating since the mid-1970s. The leads on this transaction, Tim Cobb, Steve Thomes and Joshua Salzman, Esq., faced some problems with the uncertainty of the Texas Minimum Payment Amount Program, but eventually sold the facilities to a Los Angeles-based real estate private equity firm with an operating partner.
