ESI Closes California SNF Deal for $25M; Blueprint Advises Sale of Pennsylvania Nursing Home to Tryko Partners

Evans Senior Investments (ESI) arranged the sale of a 138-bed skilled nursing facility in Anaheim, Calif. for $25 million or $181,159 per bed.

The buyer, an East Coast real estate holding company, structured the lease with a local owner/operator in the state, according to the real estate brokerage firm.

Operating long-term care assets in today’s marketplace continues to be difficult, according to ESI, when considering climbing labor costs, the pandemic, rising interest rates and the increasing need for compliance oversight.

The SNF was 96% occupied at the time of marketing and made more than $2 million in net operating income.

The facility also has a contract for 50-plus therapeutic residential care beds and the community overall has strong surrounding demographics, according to ESI.

Interest held strong as well despite the heavily regulated health care environment in California. The property received seven offers after just 25 days on the market.

“The Evans Senior Investments’ team was able to showcase to buyers the expense saving opportunity for a new regional operator in excess of $750,000,” Hank Fuller, senior associate at ESI, said in a statement. “The owner received full value for it, as if they were operating the community with an additional $750,000 of net operating income.”

Matt Jassak with Foley & Lardner represented the sellers in the transaction.

Blueprint Advises Sale of Pennsylvania SNF to Tryko Partners

Blueprint advised a joint venture owner on the sale of a 180-bed nursing home in West Chester, Penn. to real estate investment group Tryko Partners.

The deal capitalized on a significant Medicaid rate increase in the state that was announced back in July.

“Blueprint’s marketing efforts and financial projections highlighted the state’s July 2022 announcement to significantly increase Medicaid reimbursements effective Jan. 1, 2023, with over $500 million allocated to long-term care facilities,” Blueprint said in a statement.

Pennsylvania Health Care Association (PHCA) President Zach Shamberg has said the funding increase marks the single largest Medicaid reimbursement bump for nursing home resident care during a single Pennsylvania budget-cycle in the modern reimbursement era.

After procuring several offers from regional investors and care providers, Blueprint closed the transaction with Tryko in less than 90 days.
