by Amy Works
LONG BEACH, CALIF. — Century Housing, in partnership with the City of Long Beach and The Long Beach Community Investment Company, will host a grand opening May 7 at The Beacon, an affordable housing community for seniors and veterans in Long Beach, just south of Los Angeles. “There’s no denying that this past year has been a very difficult and painful year on many, many levels,” says Brian D’Andrea, senior vice president with Century. “This development represents a source of light and hope for all of us, including the more than 200 residents who now call The Beacon home along with the larger Long Beach community.” “We are committed to continuing the investment of our resources in developments like The Beacon that fill the vital need for additional affordable housing in the city,” adds Patrice Wong, chair of The Long Beach Community Investment Company, which approved more than $12 million in funding for the project in 2017.

EL CENTRO, CALIF. — CareTrust REIT Inc. (NASDAQ: CTRE) has acquired El Centro Post-Acute Center, a 123-bed skilled nursing facility located adjacent to the El Centro Regional Medical Center. El Centro is located in Imperial County near the border with Mexico. The facility has been added to CareTrust’s existing master lease with San Diego-based Bayshire Senior Communities, which sourced the off-market transaction and turned to CareTrust to finance and close the deal. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Scott Kirby, Bayshire’s CEO, found the El Centro opportunity after the facility had fallen out of contract with a previous buyer. “The seller had aggressive timing expectations after suffering through significant turnover within their management team, a recent COVID outbreak, the general fatigue of operating the facility for 20 years and a sale transaction that went south,” says Kirby. Dave Sedgwick, CareTrust’s president and chief operating officer, notes that Imperial County appears to be significantly under-bedded, with only 250 skilled nursing beds to absorb the 9,500 annual discharges from its two hospitals and over 25 percent of local Medicare referrals being sent more than an hour away to Yuma and San Diego. Care Trust has committed $150,000 for initial capital improvements to …
