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.

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 »
