Early today Kindred Healthcare announced the acquisition of five long-term acute care (LTAC) hospitals in southern California from Vista Healthcare, LLC

for $180 million in cash, or $720,000 per bed.  These hospitals generate $150 million in annual revenue and $27 million in EBITDA, for a 15% cap rate before transition and closing costs.  Kindred also signed an agreement to purchase, from a different seller, three recently-constructed skilled nursing and rehab facilities in the Dallas-Fort Worth market for $38 million in cash, or $93,800 per bed.  These generate revenues and EBITDA of $24 million and $3 million, respectively, representing a cap rate of 7.9%.  Kindred plans on developing two of these facilities into transitional care centers focused on short-term rehab and medically complex patients.
