The community, which was previously independent owner-operated, features a mix of private and semi-private units and maintained an 83% occupancy rate at the time of the sale. As the only skilled nursing facility owned by the seller, the property was acquired by a regional operator looking to expand its footprint in the Nebraska market. While the transaction faced a significant hurdle when the buyer’s outside financing fell through late in the process, ESI’s relentless advocacy and deal management ensured the sale stayed on track, ultimately securing an all-cash closing from the buyer to protect the seller’s exit timeline. Matthew Jassak of Foley & Lardner served as the seller's legal counsel on the transaction.

How ESI Added Value: ESI played a critical role in maximizing the value of this single-asset community by identifying significant operational upside for potential buyers. By highlighting nearly $380,000 in annual revenue growth through enhanced Medicaid reimbursement and Medicare Part B alignment, ESI successfully positioned the facility as a high-value acquisition. Additionally, ESI’s analysis uncovered over $200,000 in potential annual savings in dietary and maintenance costs, proving the community's profitability potential under a regional management structure.
