O&M Investments Adds Another SNF

O&M Investments Adds Another SNF

Private equity firm O&M Investments acquired a value-add skilled nursing facility in the Dallas, Texas market. At face value, this appears to be a good opportunity for O&M to generate a healthy return. First, the facility is relatively new at just 13 years old, with improvements made in 2010. Second, it recently converted a wing of the facility to skilled memory care, which should improve quality mix (currently at 16%) and revenues. Because of the conversion, the facility currently operates with 104 out of 124 licensed beds, with 83% occupancy based on the functional beds. Finally, the facility is located in an affluent, inner suburb of Dallas (Richardson), which certainly doesn’t... Read More »

Blueprint in the Buckeye State, Again

Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors announced a couple of Ohio closings at the start of June. The firm first sold an 88-bed skilled nursing facility in Orrville, a small town about 40 miles south of Cleveland. Originally built in 1974, the facility was recently renovated and also features two independent living cottages totaling eight units. However, it was operating around breakeven, so the existing owner/operator decided to divest. A partnership between a high-acuity skilled nursing operator and O&M Investments, a private equity firm focused on the SNF market, emerged as the buyer. Connor Doherty and Brian Payant led the transaction, which did not disclose a purchase price. Mr.... Read More »
