Evans Senior Investments Sells Dayton Senior Care Facility

Evans Senior Investments Sells Dayton Senior Care Facility

A newly renovated senior care facility in Dayton, Ohio that was struggling with census issues sold to a Midwest-based owner/operator with the help of the team at Evans Senior Investments. Featuring 60 skilled nursing beds and 30 assisted living units, the facility was previously owned by an independent owner/operator looking to exit the long-term care industry. It was originally built in 1988 but received a $1.3 million renovation from 2019 to 2020.   The updated physical plant and number of private rooms certainly helped its attractiveness, but the facility was averaging just 37% occupancy at the SNF and 45% in the assisted living portion.

Evans Senior Investments Sells Vacant Community in Indiana

The team at Evans Senior Investments sold a vacant seniors housing community in Valparaiso, Indiana for $9.15 million, or $93,000 per unit, which at first glance is a strong value for an empty building.

The pandemic only made things worse, and ownership decided to shutter the community in September 2020.   It currently features 98 units that were set aside for assisted living and memory care. A regional private equity group was able to buy the property at below replacement cost and hired Priority Life Care to operate and oversee the leasing of it. Before Priority... Read More »
