Still less than a year after forming Helios Healthcare Advisors, Bill Janis and Mario Wilson are keeping the closings coming with a skilled nursing sale in Wisconsin, their first in the state (with Helios) but certainly not their last. The deal featured three skilled nursing facilities previously owned by a Wisconsin-based provider who decided to exit the industry after a longstanding presence in the local market. Also included in the sale was a home health company that brings not only solid revenues to the new owner, which is entering the home health business with this deal, but also another care option for their patients. That buyer ended up being a New York-based owner/operator with a... Read More »
