HENDERSON, NEV. — Evans Senior Investments (ESI) has arranged the sale of TLC Care Center, a 255-bed skilled nursing facility in Henderson. An independent owner-operator sold the asset to Hill Valley Healthcare for $50 million, or $196,000 per bed. Built in 1999, TLC Care Center is located just 10 miles south of the Las Vegas strip. The facility features 35 private and 112 semi-private rooms, which includes 42 ventilator-equipped beds in a designated wing. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the facility exhibited over 90 percent occupancy levels and produced over $24 million in annual revenue.
