Blueprint Announces Two SNF Deals
Two Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors teams helped a couple of institutional owners divest or find new tenants for their senior care assets. Michael Segal and Gideon Orion first represented a REIT in the re-leasing of its 143-bed skilled nursing facility in San Antonio, Texas. Built in 1967 about 15 minutes north of downtown, the facility maintained a four-star rating from CMS, the highest in the area. Despite three regional hospitals within 10 miles of the facility and its enrollment in the state’s QIPP managed Medicaid program, the SNF struggled with census. Part of a larger portfolio owned by the REIT and operated under a master lease structure with the... Read More »

After Pfizer’s vaccine announcement on November 9, pretty much every publicly traded senior care provider and REIT saw their share prices jump significantly.

Ensign Acquires Former Omega Healthcare Investors SNF
The Ensign Group acquired a skilled nursing facility in Amarillo, Texas, picking up both the real estate and operations in the deal. Featuring 82 beds, the facility was formerly owned by Omega Healthcare Investors, which acquired it in a portfolio deal in June 2010. It was part of the 57-facility portfolio operated by Daybreak Venture, LLC that OHI was in the process of divesting after Daybreak paid less than $1 million in rent in the third and fourth quarters of 2019. This Amarillo location was just 45% occupied at the time of the sale. Ensign paid an undisclosed sum for the property and will rename it The Medical Lodge of Amarillo. Its subsidiary Keystone Care LLC will take over... Read More »Schedule a demo
