• 60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: Mad as Hell

    We are halfway through the year, and I am already angry. Angry at what, you may ask? All the interference from government, both elected officials and the bureaucrats.

SLIB Handles SNF Sale in Connecticut

SLIB Handles SNF Sale in Connecticut

No skilled nursing deal comes easily these days, and one facility in Connecticut went over a few hurdles to find a new owner. That buyer played a big role in getting the deal done too, other than writing the check. The deal was under LOI before the pandemic and closed at the end of September. Dave Balow of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the transaction.  Built in stages in 1955, 1975 and 1994, the 62-bed facility in Plainfield had been family-owned and operated since it opened. It had historically run at high occupancy (at 90% before the pandemic), with a strong quality mix. Also, the facility had managed to stay COVID-free throughout much of 2020, a feat for any SNF in the... Read More »
