Senior Living Investment Brokerage Facilitates $4.5 Million Sale of Texas Skilled Nursing Facility

Senior Living Investment Brokerage, Inc. has announced it sold a skilled nursing facility located in Lufkin, Texas, for $4.5 million.

The 54,000-square-foot facility, The Grace Care Center of Lufkin, consists of 145 beds, and sits on more than 5 acres of land.

The property has maintained a census around 65% for the past couple of years. The new operator should be able to improve on the census, payor mix and profit margins, the brokerage says.

An Oklahoma real estate owner purchased the facility, and a Fort Worth, Texas-based operator, which already operates in the town, will be taking over the management of the facility. The new owner plans to invest $1 million in capital improvements in the first year.

“The Lufkin transaction allowed for the outgoing operator to move away from a non-care market,” said Matthew Alley, Senior Living Investment Brokerage Managing Director.
