• 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.

Senwell Sells Indiana “Green House” SNF

Senwell Sells Indiana “Green House” SNF

A month after closing an assisted living community sale in North Carolina, Senwell Senior Investment Brokerage switched gears to the skilled nursing market to sell a small facility in Goshen, Indiana. Opened in 2018 by an owner/operator, the facility consists of four homes in the “Green House” style, each with 12 private rooms.   Each home has a family room, dining room and kitchen, with an open concept. That separation may have also played a role in reducing the risk of COVID-19 outbreaks too. And it clearly worked at this location, as it quickly filled up with mostly Medicare and private pay residents. The community also operated at a strong EBITDAR margin. Ben Bohland... Read More »

Senwell Arranges Another SNF Bed Sale

We’ve seen many skilled nursing facilities close this year and many long-time owner/operators exit the industry altogether, citing its more complicated regulations, difficult operating environment and capex needs. Bucking that trend, a regional skilled nursing operator in Ohio wanted to build a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility in Franklin County (outside of Columbus), but didn’t have the bed licenses. And they needed a significant number of them. So, Ben Bohland of Senwell Senior Investment Advisors worked to find a seller, guide them both through the CON application process and close the deal by year-end. One seller emerged, a national senior care operator that was changing its... Read More »
