Giannini Sells Two Rural SNFs in Northern Minnesota

Two skilled nursing facilities that are struggling with census sold in rural Minnesota thanks to Ray Giannini of Marcus & Millichap.

Marcus & Millichap’s Mom & Pop Sale

A local mom & pop sold its only skilled nursing facility in Lodi, California, and hired Rob Reis of Marcus & Millichap to seal the deal.

There was also a secure dementia ward comprised of 18 beds. Occupancy was consistently in the mid-90s, with an approximate 70% Medi-Cal census, but there was also strong local competition, so cash flow was negative. The new owner should be able to take advantage of the steady income from the dementia unit, the quality physical plant and implementation of PDPM later this year to turn... Read More »
