ESI Arranges the Sale of a Skilled Nursing Community in Georgia

Evans Senior Investments represented a regional owner-operator in the sale of a 148-bed skilled nursing community in Georgia. The purchase price was $12 million, or $81,000 per bed.

The community, which is located 40 miles south of Atlanta, was originally built in 1968 and completed a significant renovation in 2022.

According to ESI, the newly modernized amenities proved to be worthwhile, appealing to residents and bolstering the facility’s occupancy. At the time of marketing, the community was 95% occupied. The ESI team worked through all stages of the deal, including the transition process, and closed this transaction just four months after going to market.

CareTrust REIT was ultimately selected as the buyer, who partnered with Florida-based Elevation Group to operate the facility.

“ESI was able to overcome the community’s special focus candidate designation from CMS by transacting with a publicly traded REIT and avoiding conventional bank financing,” commented Hank Fuller, Senior Associate at Evans Senior Investments.
