• 60 Seconds with Swett: Here We Go Again

    AARP just published a report on assisted living, and all I can say is, here we go again. It concludes that “the state of assisted living today is cause for concern for many stakeholders. The lack of national federal standards for care centers creates an underregulated space.” It continues on, stating that the “absence of national oversight,... Read More »

Matthew Alley Sells 100th Texas Property

Matthew Alley Sells 100th Texas Property

Cheers to Matthew Alley, who just sold his 100th facility in the state of Texas since joining Senior Living Investment Brokerage in 2006. In what was his 69th transaction in the state, Mr. Alley (and Patrick Byrne) represented a public healthcare REIT in its disposition of a 75-bed SNF in the Texas Panhandle, in the town of Wheeler. Built in 1982, the facility has a long way to go to stabilization, and its rural location doesn’t make it easier. It was just 55% occupied and operated just above breakeven under management of the outgoing Texas-based SNF operator. The buyer is a regional owner/operator that focuses on the state of Texas too. It purchased the facility for $1.8 million, or... Read More »

Saul And Clousing Close On Cleveland Campus Sale

A healthcare campus in Cleveland, Ohio with both skilled nursing and Medicaid-waiver assisted living beds just sold to its in-place operating group. Ryan Saul and Brad Clousing of Senior Living Investment Brokerage represented the private partnership seller, which was divesting the property to focus on other investments and areas of the country. Originally built in 1978, with improvements made in 1991 and 2014, the community’s independent living units were converted to assisted in 2014. Operations could improve, as the 66-unit assisted living community was 59% occupied and the 99-bed SNF was 79% occupied. However, one AL wing with 24 units was being renovated at the time of the sale,... Read More »
SLIB Sells Value-Add Skilled Nursing Facility In Texas

SLIB Sells Value-Add Skilled Nursing Facility In Texas

Certainly having seen better days, a 120-bed skilled nursing facility in Bastrop, Texas with occupancy just below 50% sold for $3.5 million, or $40,700 per operating bed. Originally built in 1987, the facility is licensed for 120 beds, but operated at just 86 beds at the time of the sale, with EBITDA around breakeven. A publicly traded REIT was the previous owner, with a Texas-based group looking to lessen its exposure to the central Texas market as the outgoing operator. The new owner is a self-advised real estate company with a focus on seniors housing, and will look to add value in the asset. Matthew Alley of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the transaction. Read More »
Tryko Partners Grows Again

Tryko Partners Grows Again

A few weeks after HCR ManorCare filed a pre-packaged bankruptcy petition, yet another one of its skilled nursing facilities has been sold. This facility is located in Yeadon, Pennsylvania, which is outside of Philadelphia, and Tryko Partners was the buyer. Built in 1995, the 129-bed facility is located adjacent to Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital, which is part of the Mercy Health System. Apparently, this was not one of the underperforming facilities operated by HCRMC, as it maintained a four-star rating from CMS and a five-star rating for quality measures. Nice to hear. Tryko’s affiliate, Marquis Health Services, will operate the facility and they expect to invest more than $2.5 million in the... Read More »
