60 Seconds with Swett: Deciphering the 2021 M&A Market

60 Seconds with Swett: Deciphering the 2021 M&A Market

What to make of the 2021 senior care M&A market? Amid stagnant census, rising labor costs and media glare, average skilled nursing facility values went up last year, according to our in-house statistics. Meanwhile, seniors housing values fell slightly and remain well off pre-pandemic levels. But there has to be more behind these numbers. What factor does building age play in pricing, or location, trailing occupancy? What did buyers care about in 2021, and make them push their bids up? Or down? We’ll cover these topics in our annual Senior Care Acquisition Report, to be published later this month, but for those of you who want a preview of our 2021 M&A statistics, plus expertise...

Record Skilled Nursing Facility and Assisted Living Facility Prices in 2016

Record Skilled Nursing Facility and Assisted Living Facility Prices in 2016

The average skilled nursing facility price per bed set a record for the fourth year in a row, and the average assisted living facility price per unit set a record for the third straight year. What can I say, other than I am a bit astounded? We have tallied the results of the seniors housing and care M&A market for 2016, and there were a few records set, again. First of all, as I alluded to last week, the skilled nursing facility market set a record for the fourth straight year, with the average price reaching $99,200 per bed, a 15% increase over the previous record set in 2015. Why such an increase? A record number of skilled nursing facilities that sold for more than $100,000 per bed.... Read More »

Senior Care M&A Results For 2016

M&A activity in seniors housing and care in 2016 nearly matched that of 2015. Our preliminary results are in, and in the senior housing and care market, 2016 looked very similar to 2015. The dollar value of publicly announced senior care M&A transactions was $14.4 billion last year, just edging out 2015’s $14.2 billion. The number of deals, however, declined by 6%, falling from 359 in 2015 to 337 in 2016. This latter number may rise as a few more disclosed deals are discovered, but it still ranks as the second most active year ever. The dollar total for the fourth quarter of 2016 represented 45% of the year’s total, as a few large transactions came in, something that was in short... Read More »

Record Senior Care M&A Year

With one month to go, and a busy one at that, we have surpassed 300 announced mergers and acquisitions, setting a new record. We have just passed last year’s total number of publicly announced seniors housing and care acquisitions, breaking through the 300-deal mark as of November 30, with one month left to go. I am beginning to wonder whether the binding of our annual Senior Care Acquisition Report will be strong enough to contain what is sure to be more than 300 pages of charts and deals covering 2015. So, are we at a market peak or not? Certainly not in terms of investor interest in buying properties across the seniors housing and care spectrum. But pricing most definitely has hit its...
