Senior Care Business Valuation

The U.S. senior care industry—encompassing assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing facilities (SNFs)—is expected to exceed $600 billion by 2027, fueled by aging demographics, increased chronic care needs, and shifting preferences toward community-based living. Operators must manage a complex mix of real estate, healthcare delivery, and state-level regulation, making accurate valuations essential for growth, exit planning, and compliance.

What Makes Senior Care Valuation Unique

Valuing a senior care facility requires balancing operational performance with real estate assets and payer exposure:

• Occupancy Rate & Unit Mix: Occupancy stability and balance between private pay, memory care, or rehab services drive revenue.

• Revenue Mix (Private Pay vs. Medicaid/Medicare): Payer exposure affects margin volatility and reimbursement risk.

• Net Operating Income (NOI) & Margin Trends: Core financial metric for facility-based businesses with real estate assets.

• Staffing Costs & Labor Stability: High turnover or staffing shortages can materially impact operations and value.

• Regulatory & Licensing Compliance: State surveys, CMS ratings, and licensure affect marketability and acquisition interest.

Key Valuation Metrics for Senior Care Businesses

InteleK uses a hybrid approach that incorporates both healthcare operations and real estate valuation techniques:

• NOI, EBITDA, and Revenue per Bed: Critical for benchmarking performance against local and national peers.

• Cap Rate Analysis (Real Estate-Backed Facilities): Used to value facilities with owned real estate based on market yield expectations.

• Occupancy & Length of Stay Trends: Reflects operational health and market demand.

• Per-Resident Care Costs: Indicates efficiency in staffing, medications, and support services.

• Licensure Capacity & Certificate of Need (CON): Regulatory limits on bed count or market entry can increase valuation premiums.

• Valuation Multiples: Depending on facility type, senior care businesses typically trade at 1.0–2.0× revenue, 6–12× EBITDA, or real estate cap rates of 6%–9%, based on market and asset class.

Why Senior Care Operators Need Valuations

Valuations are essential for both operational and ownership decisions in a capital-intensive, regulated industry:

• Acquisition, Divestiture, & Strategic Expansion: Informs deal pricing and due diligence across portfolios.

• Succession & Estate Planning: Particularly relevant for family-owned or closely held facilities.

• IRS & Compliance Needs: Required for gifting, partner buy-ins, and fair market value assessments.

• Investor Reporting & Capital Raising: Supports equity raises, REIT transactions, and bank lending packages.
