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 »

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 »
