  • May’s M&A Meltdown

    by | Jun 3, 2020 9:07 am | Acquisitions, Statistics | 0 comments

    The M&A statistics are in for May, and it was a doozy. Only 19 seniors housing and skilled nursing deals were publicly announced during the month, nearly half of which coming from the first quarter earnings reports of several public companies.

by | Sep 6, 2019 9:06 am | Acquisitions | 0 comments

Two Texas skilled nursing facilities formerly operated by the now-bankrupt Senior Care Centers (SCC) found a new owner with the help of Matthew Alley of Senior Living Investment Brokerage. Both built in 2008, these two SNFs each have 128 licensed beds, 51,000 square feet, and are located in growing central Texas submarkets. They were the only two SCC-operated facilities owned by a local real estate owner. One facility, in New Braunfels, was 75% occupied, while the Round Rock SNF was just 64% occupied. Not surprisingly, the operating margin was far below SNF standards, at 3.5%. Overleverage and expensive leases contributed to Senior Care Centers’ bankruptcy filing in December 2018... Read More »

In addition, they received a short-term line of credit for CHOW coverage. With Helios’ help, they were able to smoothly take over operations. Read More »
