Does Haven list off-market Louisiana properties?+
Yes. A significant portion of Haven's Louisiana deal flow is off-market — sourced through our operator relationships and advisor network. Registered buyers get early access before public listing. Sign up for our free monthly listing alerts to hear about new opportunities as they become available.
What is the licensing process for senior housing in Louisiana?+
Louisiana licenses Assisted Living Facilities in three tiers (Type I, II, III) through LDH based on the level of care provided. Buyers must determine the appropriate license type for their intended operations before submitting a COO application. Haven guides buyers through Louisiana's tiered licensing framework. Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) change-of-ownership processing typically takes 60–90 days after a complete application.
What cap rates should I expect in Louisiana?+
Louisiana stabilized ALF assets typically trade at 8–11% cap rates. New Orleans Metro premium and Baton Rouge communities trend toward 7.5–9%; Shreveport, Lafayette, and rural Louisiana assets trade at 9–12%. Haven provides free preliminary valuations.
How long does a Louisiana senior housing transaction take?+
Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) change-of-ownership processing typically takes 60–90 days after a complete application. Most senior housing sales close in 90–150 days from engagement. The full change-of-ownership process, from application to new license, typically takes 90–180 days, so it starts early in the sale.
Can Haven help with financing for a Louisiana acquisition?+
Yes. Haven's Capital Solutions team provides lender introductions for Louisiana senior housing acquisitions — including bridge financing, conventional commercial loans, and HUD-insured loans for qualified larger facilities. We prepare lender-ready financial packages that account for Louisiana's specific regulatory and market context.
