Blueprint and Birchwood

Birchwood Healthcare Partners is making a successful exit from their skilled nursing/assisted living facility in Huntington, West Virginia, more than doubling the facility’s value after just three years of ownership. When Birchwood originally purchased the 55-bed/unit facility from an individual owner in 2015 for $3.2 million, the facility was losing money.

The facility, which includes 41 skilled beds and 17 assisted living units, was originally built in 1928 but was renovated in 2009. And despite having a stabilized occupancy at 90%, it was losing money. This was the only senior care asset of the owner, who decided to sell the facility when their operator tenant stopped paying rent and filed for bankruptcy. Enter Birchwood, which purchased the facility for $3.2 million, or $55,200 per bed/unit and brought in... Read More »
