Another Rural SNF Owner on the Way Out

Another Rural SNF Owner on the Way Out

It’s getting tougher and tougher for operators of rural skilled nursing facilities, particularly those single-asset owners. It’s a more complex and expensive business to operate these days, and with lengths of stays dwindling and acuities rising, it’s not getting any simpler. There were a lot of these deals this year, and we can’t blame any of these owners for exiting the industry altogether. One such transaction saw a not-for-profit board made up of local community members sell their only senior care campus in Marshall, Illinois (just over the border from Terre Haute, Indiana). Ryan Saul of Senior Living Investment Brokerage led the deal. Originally built in 1963 with additions and... Read More »

SLIB was hired by a Wisconsin-based receiver to solicit offers, and the court approved the sale to a regional based owner/operator headquartered in Illinois with other communities in Wisconsin and the Midwest. The new owner plans to focus on building census by incentivizing local leadership and investing capital into the communities to attract quality... Read More »
