A publicly traded REIT picked up a brand-new senior living community in Tampa, Florida, and we mean brand-new.

Evans Senior Investments Launches Senior Living Marketing Venture

Evans Senior Investments Launches Senior Living Marketing Venture

If the seniors housing industry is ever going to emerge from its current census slump, then rigorous and modern marketing efforts seem like a great way to start. However, many small regional operators and mom & pops have barely left the 20th century in their marketing strategies, and their websites show it. The truth is that they may have been operating just fine for years, but with a lot of new competition and a more tech-savvy clientele, that may not be an option anymore. And they will continue to lose out to the larger, national operators that can afford a comprehensive and state-of-the-art marketing strategy. Also, for the industry as a whole, better marketing can also improve... Read More »

Evans Senior Investments Closes Two Sales

Evans Senior Investments Closes Two Sales

Evans Senior Investments announced a couple of transactions last week. First, the firm represented a regional owner/operator in the sale of two senior living/skilled nursing properties in Michigan. Each community had positive cash flow at the time of sale, but with the potential for some improvement under new ownership. It should help that 100% of the senior living census at both properties was 100% private pay, and the skilled nursing featured a high mix of Medicare residents. Then, Evans headed to Anderson, South Carolina to sell a struggling skilled nursing facility on behalf of its single-asset independent owner/operator. Built in 1965, with additions in 1974 and 1980, the 181-bed... Read More »
