The offering presented a unique opportunity to acquire a pair of nursing facilities with strong reputations and local synergies.

The well-maintained facilities were built in 1993 and 1999, respectively. Capital improvements in recent years included an extensive $1.7 million renovation at Barkley Center, which was completed in September 2014 and consisted of the addition of a 1,300 square foot state-of-the-art rehab and therapy gym. At the time marketing began, combined occupancy was 80% with total revenue of approximately $10 million.

Blueprint placed its bet on ClearView Healthcare Management as the buyer. For ClearView, the facilities' deep ties within their close-knit communities reflected their own operating mission and values, something they sought to continue.

The purchase price was $7.5 million or approximately $51,000 per bed.
