What moves value in Nevada

Occupancy. 86.0% of Nevada's certified beds are occupied, above the national 80.3%. Full buildings are the norm here, so a buyer will ask why yours is not, or price in the referral strength if it is.

Payer mix and the Medicaid rate. Medicaid pays for 66% of resident days in the median Nevada building, close to the national 66%. Small shifts between Medicaid and Medicare census move value, which is why buyers ask for census by payer, month by month. Nevada's Medicaid rate files are on SNFRadar.

Revenue and margin. Net patient revenue runs $449 per patient day in the median Nevada filing, above the national $373, and the median net margin is 8.3% against 3.6%. Buyers here can price on the cash flow a building already earns.

Staffing. Nevada's buildings average 4.30 nurse staffing hours per resident per day, more than the national 3.86, and nurse turnover runs 45.1% a year, close to the national 45.8%. Agency use is the line buyers check next.

Inspection record. 49% of Nevada buildings are rated four or five stars by Medicare and 42% one or two, against 40% and 41% nationally. Every buyer reads the last three inspections before pricing; each building's are on its SNFRadar page.

Size and ownership type. The average Nevada building has 110 certified beds, against 107 nationally. 86% are for-profit, 5% non-profit and 9% government, and 74% are part of a chain.

How a sale works

  1. A first call. What you want from the sale, and when. No listing, no blast.
  2. A value from the record. Your building's own numbers and the trades around it. How valuation works
  3. Vetted buyers under confidentiality, bidding against each other, not against you.
  4. Letter of intent, then the purchase agreement and the operations transfer agreement. The full process
  5. Change of ownership. Nevada's licensure filings plus Medicare and Medicaid, timed so billing does not stop. CHOW and Medicaid

Do you work with sellers in Nevada?

Yes. We advise skilled nursing sellers nationwide; our published closings so far are in Ohio, Mississippi, North Carolina and a seven-state portfolio across the Midwest and Southeast.

How much of Nevada's nursing home care does Medicaid pay for?

In the median Nevada building, Medicaid pays for 66% of resident days, against 66% nationally (Medicare cost reports (full-year filings), as SNFRadar compares them). That share is why Nevada's Medicaid rate method decides so much of a building's value.

Is the first conversation confidential?

Yes. Nothing about you or your building goes to a buyer without your say.

Do you represent buyers?

No. We represent sellers. Buyers can share their acquisition criteria with us so we know who to call when a building fits; that does not make us their broker.
