Older, Underperforming Ohio SNF Sold By ESI

Older, Underperforming Ohio SNF Sold By ESI

Evans Senior Investments (ESI) closed the sale of a 180-bed skilled nursing facility in Ohio for $10.75 million, or $60,000 per bed. Built in 1965 with a $220,000 renovation in 2019, the facility has nine private units with the rest being semi-private occupancy. In 2019, the facility posted $10.3 million in total revenue and 72% occupancy. Despite the large revenue generation, the facility was not very profitable due to the below average Medicaid rate and low post-acute rehabilitation census. Beginning in March 2020, the facility’s census began to decline to a low of 43% due to bans on admissions and a lack of elective surgeries from hospitals resulting from the pandemic. ESI represented... Read More »

Owner Divests Eight-Property Ohio Portfolio

The team at Evans Senior Investments ended their 2021 with a bang, closing the sale of an eight-property senior care portfolio in Ohio for $70 million, or about $90,000 per functional bed/unit. Across the eight properties, there were 623 licensed skilled nursing beds, of which 614 were functional, 176 licensed assisted living beds (140 functional) and 22 independent living units.
