ESI Helps Sell $17.45M Skilled Nursing Facility in Indiana

Evans Senior Investments announced the $17.45 million sale of Providence Anderson in Anderson, Indiana this week.

The 204-bed facility was 60% occupied at the time it hit the market, with a net operating income of $2.2 million; the previous owner-operator, a regional provider, was looking to exit the Indiana skilled nursing market.

ESI ran a targeted marketing process and reportedly procured five letters of intent in two weeks.

“Providence Anderson represented a strategic divestiture for an out-of-state owner/operator and an opportunity for a new regional operator with a presence in Indiana to utilize their scale and hospital relationships to improve operating performance. We have continued to see buyers paying stabilized values for skilled nursing communities, despite poor occupancy and financial performance throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic,” Jeremy Stroiman, CEO of ESI, said in the press release.
