Reis Helps California Assisted Living Owner Exit the Business
Rob Reis of Marcus & Millichap recently sold a 45-unit assisted living community in Modesto, California, representing the single-asset owner/operator who was looking to exit the business. The seller developed the property in the 1980s, and has operated it ever since. Occupancy was 84%, and it was bringing in nearly $385,000 in NOI on approximately $1.5 million of revenues, for a 25% margin. Not bad for an older building, but it could still be improved. The buyer was Senior Living West, a growing investor/asset manager in seniors housing, which purchased the community utilizing a regional management organization, Cimino Care. They clearly didn’t want to waste any time starting, as the... Read More »
Minnesota Assisted Living Community Gets A New Neighbor
In a deal that was anything but ordinary, Ray Giannini of Marcus & Millichap sold an assisted living community plus an adjacent vacant skilled nursing facility in Owatonna, Minnesota for about $2.95 million, or $59,100 per unit. Steele County previously owned both of the buildings and brought in Benedictine Health System (BHS) to manage them. Built in 2002, the 50-unit AL community was operating decently with a nearly full, all-private pay census and a margin around 15% on $1.5 million of revenues. Since it was county-owned, we imagine there is a lot of room for improvement in controlling expenses. However, at the SNF, BHS had gradually transferred the beds out of the 1970s-era... Read More »
Hurricane-Damaged SNF Sells in Georgia
Despite a wing still not operational since Hurricane Matthew in 2017, a skilled nursing facility in Midway, Georgia changed from one not-for-profit’s hands to another’s. Magnolia Manors, a Methodist-affiliated operator of eight other locations throughout south Georgia, acquired the 150-bed facility for a sum of $6.85 million, or $45,600 per bed. Mike Pardoll of Marcus & Millichap handled the deal. Originally built in 1972 with an addition in 1982, the facility, which is licensed for 169 beds, was 75% occupied during the marketing period, with a 15% Medicare and 9% private pay/managed care census, with the remainder made up of Medicaid patients. About $7.8 million of bond debt remains... Read More »
Pardoll Closes Another Personal Care Sale in Atlanta Area
Marcus & Millichap’s Mike Pardoll sold yet another small personal care community in Georgia to Affinity Living Group, following his sales last month of a 23-unit property in Bainbridge (for $1.2 million, or $52,200 per unit) and a 36-unit community in Vidalia (for $1.3 million, or $36,100 per unit). Representing a private investor, he has most recently sold a 30-unit personal care community in the town of Dunwoody (north of Atlanta). Built in 1990, the property (which was operated by Sunrise Senior Living until 2010) was struggling with occupancy at 67% and had negative cash flow at the time of the sale on under $600,000 of revenues. Rents averaged about $2,800 per month, which was low... Read More »
