• The Saga of Genesis HealthCare Continues

    Genesis HealthCare was once one of the largest and most successful skilled nursing companies. But it grew too quickly, made some bad investments over the years (did we mention the billion-dollar merger with The MultiCare Companies?), and it always played the leverage game, whether with leases or debt, and usually both. Last summer, it filed for... Read More »

    Just a month after selling a skilled nursing facility in Nevada for the highest per-bed value ever seen in the state, Evans Senior Investments returned to sell another facility in the Las Vegas MSA for the second-highest per-bed price.

California Retirement Community Sells

California Retirement Community Sells

The acquisition market is alive and well, at least it is in California, where demand for properties remains quite strong. The 158-unit, 96,700 square foot community has about 15 memory care units with all the remaining units licensed for both assisted living and independent living. Located just south of San Francisco, the community was built in 1986 and has not received the capex that it should have over the years. Occupancy suffered, at about 55%, despite having below market monthly rates. It was self-managed by a group of multifamily investors, so one could consider it to be somewhat of an orphan property. Because of the low occupancy, it was operating close to break even on estimated... Read More »
