Post-Acute Continuum in Washington, D.C., Sold to Brooklyn-Based Buyer

Healthcare Transactions Group facilitated the sale of the assets of VMT Long-Term Care Management, Inc., a for-profit post-acute services continuum in Washington, D.C. The assets included the leasehold operations of the 230-bed Unique Residential Care Center skilled nursing facility and a Medicare- and Medicaid-certified licensed home health agency.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Healthcare Transactions Group initiated the transaction and served as the seller’s mergers and acquisitions advisor.

The transaction, which closed July 10, did not include sale of the real estate. The buyer, a Brooklyn, N.Y.-based multistate post-acute operator which owns SNFs in Washington, D.C., will continue to lease the real estate from the District of Columbia government.
