ESI Arranges Sale of The Patriot CCRC in Pennsylvania


Evans Senior Investments (ESI) successfully arranged the sale of The Patriot, a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) in Somerset, Pennsylvania, on behalf of a non-profit organization. The community features a diverse mix of units, including 100 licensed skilled nursing beds, 47 personal care units, and 2 independent living units.


At the time of the sale, The Patriot faced occupancy challenges, with 77% occupancy in skilled nursing and 47% in personal care beds. Financial difficulties led the owner to default on its bond debt, triggering a Section 363 bankruptcy process. ESI maximized the community's value by attracting a group of qualified buyers, securing a stalking horse, and conducting multiple rounds of competitive bidding during a court auction. In partnership with Duane Morris LLP's legal team, ESI navigated the bankruptcy proceedings to maximize value and expedite the closing process.
