Blueprint Arranges Complicated SNF Transaction

Blueprint Arranges Complicated SNF Transaction

by | Mar 19, 2021 9:40 am | Acquisitions

A struggling skilled nursing facility in Dayton, Ohio that has gone through survey issues and financial insolvency in recent years found a new owner with the help of Connor Doherty and Ryan Kelly of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors. The 108-bed facility, which was built in 1975 and has been relatively well maintained, was previously owned by a not-for-profit. Operations had been relatively consistent in the past several years, and even during COVID, but there are certainly many improvements to be made to both census and cash flow. The HUD loan on the property was eventually turned back to the agency, and the fair market value of the asset was determined to be less than the HUD... Read More »
Blueprint Closes Kerrville, Texas SNF Deal

Blueprint Closes Kerrville, Texas SNF Deal

by | Feb 2, 2021 5:05 pm | Acquisitions

Jacob Gehl and Humair Sabir of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors kicked off the firm’s 2021 M&A activity with a memory care sale in Kerrville, Texas. Built in 2001 with 36 units, the community was last acquired in 2014 by a private partnership for $2.4 million, or $66,700 per unit, according to our M&A deal database.   It was losing money at the time because of high staff turnover, but thanks to a good reputation in the local market and vastly increasing its staff tenure, the community was operating well, with occupancy regularly above 90% and the operating margin around 30%.   Still, a new owner could take advantage of scale to grow cash flow even more, and that...

People on the Move

Early last year, we were surprised when Torey Riso told us he was leaving Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors, where he had been serving as President and CEO. He was brought in by the founders to add experience and his contacts to the growing firm. And grow it did. He figured he had done what was needed and it was a good time to leave. And then the pandemic hit, which we are sure altered his post-Blueprint plans.  It was just announced that he has joined Huron Consulting Group as a Managing Director specializing in healthcare services, but particularly the senior care market. He has helped small and mid-size operators scale their operations, and in particular will... Read More »
