Genesis Exits Idaho

Genesis Exits Idaho

Genesis HealthCare decided to exit the Idaho market, prompting its REIT landlord, National Health Investors, to divest its senior care property in Nampa (Boise MSA). The single-story community, which features 107 independent living units, 18 assisted living units and 42 licensed skilled nursing beds, was Genesis’ only asset in the state.   Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors’ Michael Segal, Blake Bozett and Lauren Nagle positioned the property as a value-add opportunity, with the potential to realign the different care levels. Cascades Healthcare, a skilled nursing operator started by four healthcare clinicians in 2014 that has now grown to 15 SNFs in Utah and Idaho, emerged as the...

Genesis HealthCare Makes Changes

Genesis HealthCare Makes Changes

Just after announcing that its CEO would be stepping down, Genesis HealthCare revealed more changes.

The Ups and Downs of Genesis Healthcare

The Ups and Downs of Genesis Healthcare

Two weeks ago, we reported on the restructuring that is taking place at Genesis Healthcare, with the infusion of new capital that will eventually take this new investor to a fully diluted ownership interest in excess of 40%. That news sent the share price tumbling 47% to a low of $0.43 per share. Trading volume over two days was more than 59 million shares, or more than 53% of the total float.  Then, a week later, the share price jumped by 48% mid-day to a high of $0.74 per share, ending the day at an increase of “just” 20%. Trading volume on that day? A mere 73 million shares, or about two-thirds of the float. The day before and the day after that momentous day, another 26... Read More »
Genesis to be Delisted After Welltower Split

Genesis to be Delisted After Welltower Split

When Genesis HealthCare announced last year that it may not make it in the following 12 months, you knew something had to be done. And then at the beginning of this year when its longstanding CEO, George Hager, departed, you knew that replacing one person with another was just not going to cut it. But perhaps it enabled the Board to move on what had to be done to salvage a desperate situation.  Late on Tuesday, Welltower announced that it has substantially exited its 10-year operating relationship with Genesis HealthCare. The move cannot be seen as much of a surprise considering Genesis’ “going concern” notice last year, multiple major write downs associated with... Read More »
