Deal of the Week: More from LCB Senior Living
Newly formed LCB Senior Living has purchased a 50-unit assisted living community in New Hampshire that specializes in Alzheimer’s and dementia care. Built 15 years ago, the community has most of its 83 licensed beds full. The purchase price was $35 million, which comes in at a record $700,000 per unit for assisted living deals, and $422,000 per bed. Apparently, there is some extra space in the building where an additional seven beds can be added, which will bring the numbers down a bit, and the deal came with an extra four acres that can be developed for more units, perhaps traditional assisted living. But to justify that price, per-bed rates at 97% occupancy (81 residents) would have to be $6,500 per month with a 35% EBITDA margin, and that assumes a 6.5% cap rate. Equity was provided by Grosvenor Fund Management and debt came from Bank of America…….. Want to read more news?

Stock of the Week: Omega Healthcare Investors
Omega Healthcare Investors, which was in the middle of the health care REIT pack in 2012 in terms of total return for the year, is one of the best performing health care REIT stocks this year. And its performance has been well above average despite having a portfolio dominated by skilled nursing facilities, a sector which always has a reimbursement overhang. Omega’s 12-month return now stands at just under 50%, and it is up more than 23% so far this year and 5% in March alone. One thing that keeps driving investors to the stock is the dividend yield, which is still above 6.0% despite the share price increases and a recent increase in the payout in January. Most of the other health care REITs are in the 4% to 5% range, so Omega is providing a nice yield premium which may be higher than the current risk merits….Want to read more news?
