Skilled Nursing Divestitures Continue

Skilled Nursing Divestitures Continue

Large skilled nursing divestitures seem to be in vogue these days, as another institutional skilled nursing owner sold 23 of its non-core facilities in Ohio and Pennsylvania, with the help of Evans Senior Investments. Consisting of 1,682 total licensed beds, the portfolio was approximately 84% occupied, but five facilities were 90% occupied or higher. Some facilities were also operationally underperforming, and their EBITDAR margins took a hit. So, there is clearly some work to do, and some value to add. It certainly helps that most of the facilities are located in major metro areas in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The buyer, an owner/operator based on the East Coast, paid $94 million, or about...

Evans Senior Investments Handles Texas Transaction

Evans Senior Investments Handles Texas Transaction

Evans Senior Investments closed yet another Texas transaction this year, a month after closing a three-property, 221-unit assisted living portfolio sale there for $45 million. The firm represented an institutional group based on the East Coast in its divestment of a 77-unit assisted living/memory care community in the town of Missouri City (Houston MSA). The purchase price came to $14.35 million, or $186,000 per unit, which is below average for the sector, especially for a new community (it was built in 2010). However, this is where the issue of overdevelopment may be having its effect. Since opening, the community has averaged just 79% occupancy, albeit with a 100% private pay census. The... Read More »
Evans Senior Investments Handles Texas Transaction

Evans Senior Investments’ Big Texas Sale

We wrote last week that Texas accounted for over a third of transactions in April, but Evans Senior Investments closed out the month with one more, and it was the largest. Featuring three private pay assisted living/memory care communities and 221 total units, the Stoney Brook portfolio sold for $45 million, or $203,620 per unit, with a 6.4% cap rate. They were owned by Stoney Brook Communities and built in 2010 and 2011 in the central Texas towns of Belton, Hewitt and Copperas Cove. Two are stabilized, with occupancy in the high-90s and operating margins around 35%, but the Copperas Cove community is considered value-add at 80% occupancy and an 8% operating margin. In addition to... Read More »

Regional Owner/Operator Grows in Texas

Texas transactions make up over 30% of the senior care deals announced so far in April, involving mostly assisted living communities and one skilled nursing facility trading hands in what is an overall slow month (so far). Evans Senior Investments arranged the most recent: the purchase of a 64-unit assisted living community that is nearly all private pay but could improve its 81% occupancy. Built in 2001 and renovated in 2007, the community was owned by Living Care Senior Housing Development and is located on about four acres just outside of Dallas, in the town of Frisco. In addition to census, operations could also improve, with just a 12.5% margin on $2.65 million of revenues. There is... Read More »
