Local Governments Exit Senior Care Operations

Local Governments Exit Senior Care Operations

The team at IPA Seniors Housing including Mark Myers, Josh Jandris and Ryan Fleming announced a couple of public-to-private senior care sales, something the IPA team has seen a lot of in the past several years. Both properties were previously owned by local government and attracted buyers with an eye to adding value. The first sale featured a 36-unit senior living community built by the City of Monona, Iowa in 2005 that was operating well (with occupancy consistently above 85%) but did not align with the City’s eventual consensus that they should not be in the senior living space. Before the sale, the City did invest considerably in capex, including installing new windows and exterior... Read More »

American House Strikes North

American House Senior Living Communities is continuing its expansion outside of its home states of Michigan and Florida, following up on its first acquisition in Ohio (from September) with its first in New England.
