Evans Senior Investments Shows Variety In Latest Closings

Evans Senior Investments displayed some variety in its two latest transactions. First, the firm closed the sale of a 30-unit/60-bed memory care community located about five miles southwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. Built in 2010, the community was formerly owned and operated by Genesis Healthcare, and although it had 100% private pay residents, occupancy was just 61% at the time of listing.

Switching gears slightly, Evans Senior Investments then worked to procure a new tenant for an... Read More »

Rents are currently below market rates at nearby competitors, and with nearly all semi-private units... Read More »
