  • 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. From people who think they understand how seniors housing should work. From the unions. From the anti-PE firm groups. I always say, do a few 12-hour shifts, or move in for a few... Read More »
REIT Partnership Picks Up Tennessee Properties

REIT Partnership Picks Up Tennessee Properties

A regional operator partnered with a REIT to purchase two assisted living/memory care communities in Tennessee. The two identical 87-unit communities were built in 2000 and have maintained a strong reputation in their respective markets of Knoxville and Chattanooga.   Occupancy was in the low-80s, and the buyers saw an opportunity to enter two targeted markets and improve performance at the sites. The operating margin could also improve from the current 20% on more than $7.35 million of revenues. Plus, there is adjacent land next to each community, which enables the new owner to expand services in the future. According to the panelists on our recent webinar “Assisted Living: Where are...

Tutera Adds to Kansas Portfolio

Tutera Adds to Kansas Portfolio

After operating it for a couple of years, Tutera Senior Living took over ownership of a skilled nursing facility in receivership in Derby, Kansas. Nick Cacciabando of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the sale on behalf of the receiver.   This small facility, which features 45 beds, was built in 1976. A few years ago, Virginia-based alternative asset manager Mooring Financial purchased the distressed HUD debt on the property. This was their only senior care asset and decided to exit the facility. Operations had declined during the pandemic, and the facility was losing money at the time of the sale with an occupancy of around 80%.   During that time, the facility had an initial... Read More »

SLIB Secures Three Sales on Two Coasts

SLIB Secures Three Sales on Two Coasts

Jason Punzel, Brad Goodsell and Vince Viverito of Senior Living Investment Brokerage announced a couple of closings out West. Starting in rural central Oregon, the trio sold a 27-unit/35-bed assisted living community in the town of Maupin for $1.6 million, or $59,300 per unit. Built in 2005, this community was fully occupied, but with a 60% Medicaid census. It was operating at a 20% margin on over $1 million of revenues, which is solid but presents an opportunity for a new owner.  The current regional owner/operator chose to focus on its larger communities in major West Coast MSAs and decided to sell the community to an Idaho-based regional owner/operator that does focus on these...
