November’s M&A train keeps on rolling

November’s M&A train keeps on rolling

So far in November, we have already seen 18 transactions announced, and several of those have been big by 2016 standards, including two... Read More »

This was the only senior care asset of the owner, who decided to sell the facility when their operator tenant stopped paying rent and filed for bankruptcy. Enter Birchwood, which purchased the facility for $3.2 million, or $55,200 per bed/unit and brought in... Read More »
