CareTrust REIT headed to Fargo, North Dakota for its latest acquisition, adding a 110-bed skilled nursing facility to its portfolio for a purchase price of approximately $4.75 million, or $43,200 per bed, inclusive of transaction costs. There is also an estimated cap rate of about 13.25%. The facility was previously operated by HCR ManorCare and […]
Quality Care Properties divested one of its HCR ManorCare-operated skilled nursing facilities in New Jersey, with Tryko Partners stepping in as the buyer. Built in 1974, the 106-bed facility is located in New Providence (Newark MSA), which will complement Tryko’s existing strong presence in central and northern New Jersey. The facility is located close to […]
Hospitals and post-acute providers have not mixed well in the past, but ProMedica Health System hopes that changes. I keep thinking about the Welltower and ProMedica Health System acquisition of Quality Care Properties and HCR ManorCare. Given today’s valuations, ProMedica may have gotten a bit of a deal with ManorCare’s home health and hospice business. But we […]
Two major companies make decisions, one with a path forward and the other still unclear, and they will be the talk of Dallas at the NIC conference.

We are sure that management at HCP, Inc. is happy that they spun out the HCR ManorCare assets to a new REIT, since they have not had to deal with the continuing rent shortfall, which started when HCP still owned the assets.
With all the media attention on financial problems within the skilled nursing sector (and we are guilty of this as well), there are some companies which are doing okay in this environment. One is National HealthCare Corporation, a publicly traded company that keeps very quiet but, with a market cap of $989 million, is one […]
While the financial deterioration of HCR ManorCare continues, at least there was some good news in the past few weeks that may result in an agreement between it and its landlord, Quality Care Properties.
