HJ Sims Hits It Out Of Overland Park

HJ Sims Hits It Out Of Overland Park

A CCRC in Overland Park, Kansas is planning a large expansion to its independent living services. Perhaps they read Marcus & Millichap’s National Seniors Housing Report, which reported average IL occupancy steady at 91.7% in 2016, and predicted it will rise 10 basis points in 2017. That is close to the census peak in 2008, when IL communities averaged 92% occupancy, before the Great Recession reared its ugly head. The Overland Park’s IL census is very strong too, at 98%, which prompted the 76-unit expansion effort. Built in 2000, the community already features 64 IL villas, 54 assisted living units, 52 skilled nursing units and 36 memory care units. Census was in fact strong all... Read More »

Berkshire Health Systems Acquires Holyoke CCRC

The Loomis Communities just sold its CCRC in Holyoke, Massachusetts (Springfield MSA), leaving it with three communities in Amherst, South Hadley and Springfield. Loomis had been operating at the property since 1981, when it was independent living with a small skilled nursing facility. It now features 92 skilled beds, 68 IL units and 13 AL units on 4.9 acres. Loomis’ other properties do not have such a large SNF portion, so a sale was pursued. The buyer ended up being Berkshire Health Systems, a not-for-profit health system with a portfolio of 14 other rehab/long-term care properties, among other healthcare properties/businesses. Berkshire will keep the “Loomis” name on the facility for a... Read More »
