Two Senior Care Centers Facilities Sell in Texas

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 »

SLIB Announces Two Assisted Living Sales in the Southeast

Senior Living Investment Brokerage announced two sales in the Southeast. First, Daniel Geraghty and Bradley Clousing represented a local owner in their exit from the seniors housing market by selling their personal care home in Holly Springs, Mississippi.

Milwaukee-Based Operator Buys Struggling Wisconsin Community

After being placed into receivership when its not-for-profit owner failed to make its bond payments, a senior living campus in Racine, Wisconsin just sold to a regional owner/operator with the help of Jason Punzel and Ryan Saul of Senior Living Investment Brokerage.
