Wisconsin Healthcare Portfolio Acquisition Bolstered by Favorable Reimbursement Rates

A Wisconsin-focused owner-operator acquired the Dove Healthcare portfolio. The portfolio, located throughout the State of Wisconsin, comprises eight assets with a total of 526 beds/units dedicated to skilled nursing and assisted living.

Blueprint, which facilitated the sale, said the acquisition positions the new owner as a dominant player in the region, with operational synergies and a significant market share.

The Dove Healthcare portfolio includes 304 licensed skilled nursing beds, 104 Residential Care Apartment Complex (RCAC) units, and capacity for 118 Community-Based Residential Facility (CBRF) residents.

Blueprint said the due diligence period for the acquisition coincided with significant statewide Medicaid reimbursement rate enhancements in Wisconsin, effective July 1st, 2023.

This development, coupled with rate increases for private pay RCAC/CBRF residents ranging from 8% to 15% as of October 1st, 2022, has generated substantial revenue upside for the acquirer. These favorable financial conditions have also facilitated the negotiation of attractive financing terms.
