ESI Represents Consulate in Bankruptcy Disposition

At the time of writing, Consulate is the sixth-largest nursing home chain in the country with 138 facilities from the Mid-Atlantic to the Gulf Coast. ESI was hired to represent the debtors in the sale of their assets, in obtaining debtor-in-possession... Read More »
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 »

The facilities earned combined revenues of $40.7 million and had an NOI of $2.03 million, for a 5.0% margin. Not bad, but could certainly be improved. The state of Massachusetts recently instituted new legislation that would eliminate all three... 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.

While under contract, however, the portfolio received a large Medicaid rate increase of almost $30 per patient day, which was projected to add an... Read More »
