Seniors Housing and Care M&A Activity Reaches 115 Deals in Q3:23

Leave a comment


The 115 transactions recorded in Q3:23 represents the second-lowest quarterly deal total since the third quarter of 2021, when 111 deals were publicly announced, and shows the impact of high interest rates on the M&A market. There were just under 265 properties involved in Q3:23’s deals for a property-per-deal ratio of 2.3, equal to the ratio from Q2:23. Assisted living deals made up the plurality of Q3:23 deals, accounting for 49%, followed by skilled nursing at 41%. Independent living, CCRCs and affordable senior apartment deals each comprised approximately 3.5% of Q3:23 deals, while there were no publicly disclosed active adult deals.

While Q3:23 saw a healthy transaction level, there were not many large portfolio deals, for the most part. The average transaction size, measured by properties per deal, has steadily fallen since its recent peak of 6.6 properties per deal in Q2:21 and 5.9 in Q3:21. In Q3:23, there were nine portfolio deals involving more than five properties in each, compared with 17 in the year-ago third quarter.

“COVID-19 has many lingering effects in the senior care industry, inflation is elevated, staffing is scarce and expensive, interest rates are historically high and pricing out buyers, cap rates have risen to effectively halt many low-cap rate active adult sales, and values are low enough to keep many potential sellers from selling,” added Swett. “This is all to say, for transaction volume in 2023 to virtually equal that of 2019 is surprising, to say the least.”

All long-term care M&A deals dating back to 1993 can be accessed on the LevinPro database and can be purchased via a site license. All quarterly results are published in The Health Care M&A Report for all 13 sectors of health care, which is part of LevinPro HC. In addition, annual results of the seniors housing and care acquisition markets will be published this year in the 28th Edition of The Senior Care Acquisition Report.

Leave a comment


ASEA, a global leader in redox technology, made some HUGE announcements at its bi-annual Global Convention that was held in Fort Worth, Texas, September 20 – 23, 2023, and also broadcast live to its associates in 33 markets across the world.

PLEASANT GROVE, Utah, Oct. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — ASEA, a global leader in redox technology, made some HUGE announcements at its bi-annual Global Convention that was held in Fort Worth, Texas, September 20 – 23, 2023, and also broadcast live to its associates in 33 markets across the world.

ASEA Founder Tyler Norton announced the pre-launch phase of the new ASEA app for associates as a world-class platform designed to empower associates to share ASEA with new customers in ways they’ve never experienced before. This app boasts direct messaging, personalized shopping, innovative sharing tools and content, and analytics all infused with technology that ASEA owns. “We’ve never had anything like this before, and by the way, no one has ever had anything like this before. And it’s ours, making this a game-changer,” Norton affirmed. The pre-launch phase will extend through the end of 2023 and officially launch in the United States on January 1. At that time, ASEA will also unveil the rollout schedule for the 32 other markets where it conducts business.

New products launched this year included REDOXRadiance and Redox Clay Mask. REDOXRadiance is a vegan-friendly collagen support product that gives skin, hair, and nails the support they need—all in a daily plant-based, cruelty-free supplement.* Redox Clay Mask is the world’s first cell signaling clay mask that combines the ancient healing properties of bentonite clay with ASEA’s cutting-edge redox cell signaling technology.

Erin King, “one of the Top-10 must-see motivational speakers” according to Success Magazine, addressed and wowed the audience by explaining how to ignite influence by getting more “yes” through the power of persuasion and improving sales and leadership communication.

ASEA’s philanthropic Advancing Life Foundation updated the audience on how the foundation is changing lives for the better and helping break the cycle of poverty, abuse, and suffering. During the past year, Advancing Life continued to make an impact in areas of extreme poverty, helping marginalized communities—both in the US and across the globe—that don’t have access to necessities like water, food, and education. “This year, we made tremendous strides by supporting projects that provide clean water, food assistance, school building, disaster relief, and aid to refugees,” said the foundation’s Chair KimMarie Larsen. For more information on how the foundation is making a difference—or to make a donation that will be matched by ASEA—follow this link to ASEA Advancing Life. Thanks to our associates, we raised $150,000 to support the foundation during Convention alone.

At ASEA, we’re driven by the belief that everyone has the potential to achieve more and be more. We power potential™.

Whispering Creek Health Takes on Substance Abuse and Fraud in Native American Community

Leave a comment


The issue is further exacerbated by fraudulent recovery programs that have taken advantage of Native Americans and the funds designated for their treatment and recovery. These fraudulent schemes include short-term recovery programs that recycle clients through various affiliated programs for financial gain, programs that provide abused substances to clients, and facilities that leave clients unsupervised during their recovery journey. Some even bring Native Americans from other states, leaving them far from home and vulnerable to exploitation. Whispering Creek Health, founded by Native American tribal members, is taking a stand against these issues.

“I have witnessed the abuses and challenges faced by tribal members in their recovery, and I saw the total abandonment of Native Americans when fraudulent programs were suspended for alleged fraud,” says Allen King, CEO of Whispering Creek Health. “I desired the opportunity to create a high-quality, exclusive Native American recovery program, and that’s why I partnered with others in the behavioral health arena to create Whispering Creek Health.”

What sets Whispering Creek Health apart is its commitment to providing culturally sensitive and comprehensive recovery programs. The organization offers a unique three-phase approach to recovery. Whispering Creek Health recognizes that recovery requires time and support, and their six-month aftercare program is a testament to their dedication to long-term success.

“Today I am a Culture Coordinator in the Behavioral Health field, I provide culture-appropriate-based programs in group settings and am a certified Wellbriety Firestarter for the Medicine Wheel 12 Steps program,” says Jacob Allison, a member of the Tohono O’odham Nation. “That message I got from my sponsor, ‘How free do you want to be,’ had such an impact on my life. Today I get to appreciate and enjoy life and contribute to my loved ones’ lives and the many lives I encounter in my life.”

Whispering Creek Health is not only providing hope to those seeking recovery but is also actively involved in giving back to the Native American community. The organization contributes 10% of its net proceeds to the Hummingbird Spirit Foundation, dedicated to the health and wellness of Native Americans across the United States.

The in-home health care franchise is looking to tap into unmet demand in Amarillo

AMARILLO, Texas, Oct. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Right at Home, the 700-plus location in-home health care concept helping seniors and adults with disabilities live comfortably at home, is looking to expand in Amarillo, Texas. The opportunity gives local entrepreneurs a chance to make a difference in their communities and provide peace of mind to families needing care.

Right at Home employs professionally trained caregivers to provide care and assistance to seniors and adults with disabilities who wish to remain in the comfort and safety of their own home or current living arrangement. With over 28 years of experience providing essential care in more than 700 locations across six countries, Right at Home has become one of the world’s largest in-home health care franchises.

With an aging population of 38,000 seniors, Amarillo is primed for Right at Home’s services. Amarillo’s largest industry is Healthcare and Social Assistance, according to Data USA. This coupled with a steadily growing population in the area makes it the perfect place to open a Right at Home.

“Right at Home starts with our passionate franchise owners, and we’re excited to partner with the people of Amarillo,” said Jennifer Chaney, Vice President of Franchise Development. “We are seeking passionate individuals who aren’t just looking for a business to make a living.

Right at Home is seeing an increased demand for quality in-home care services across the country as the baby boomer generation reaches its senior years. During 2020 and 2021, the franchise not only survived the height of the pandemic but came out of it stronger than ever– exceeding growth goals by 40%. And in 2022, Right at Home picked up even more momentum as it continued to bring its best-in-class in-home care services to families in new markets across the country. This year, Right at Home is looking forward to building on that growth, including in Amarillo.

East End Resident with Autism Alleges Fair Housing Complaint Against Southampton Landlord, US Autism Homes

Leave a comment


Complaint Alleges Retaliatory and Constructive Eviction, Discrimination under ADA

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y., Oct. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Donus v. US Autism Homes Inc. (2:23-cv-05838) was filed by Christian Killoran, attorney, on behalf of client, Dimitri Donus, a congenial 21-year-old man with autism after he was evicted 6 months early from his rental unit in Southampton, NY. According to Dimitri’s parents, Dimitri was evicted after they raised concerns about his overnight safety, the home’s appropriation of his government-issued funds, and requested a reasonable accommodation.

US Autism Homes brands itself as a “faith-based” not-for-profit utilizing a non-certified housing model, a term in the NYS OPWDD portfolio of services allowing qualified participants to receive a housing subsidy while self-directing additional individualized services. “Non-certified housing is not what’s commonly known as a group home. It’s simply a Landlord leasing a unit to a tenant who happens to have a disability. USAH claims to operate housing and seems to have a list of mandated non-published rules as a condition for tenancy, most of which are an infraction of Fair Housing regulations” according to Mr. Killoran. The complaint also raises questions surrounding ADA, retaliatory eviction, and constructive eviction.

The complaint, filed on August 1, alleges that the Landlord commandeered Dimitri’s benefits including a requirement to attend community classes designed by the Landlord, utilization of their leadership team to control his staff, adherence in following a uniform schedule, and adoption of a meal plan without his input. In addition, it alleges that the Landlord orchestrated Dimitri’s eviction because he profiles as a disabled person who became unwilling to allow his budget of services commandeered in a manner desired by them.

According to a sworn affidavit signed by the Landlord, justification to terminate a tenant’s lease is not required. The affidavit also states that the house operates under a collaborative model, not mentioned as a requirement in his lease. Specifically, the affidavit referenced that Dimitri, who relies on his family for transportation, was often late to return to his rental unit after spending time with family or at appointments and that he neglected to pay for food for 6 months.

Dimitri also has 2 brothers with autism and is a whiz at folding pizza boxes. On Saturdays, when living at his rental unit in Southampton, he could be found at his volunteer job at Slice of the Hamptons.

The complaint, case #:2:23-cv-05838, is overseen by the US District Court for the Eastern District of NY (Nature of Suite/Civil Rights – Housing/Accommodations, Cause of Action – 42:405 Fair Housing Act)
