How to increase the value of an assisted living facility
Direct answer
To increase the value of an assisted living facility, raise net operating income and reduce buyer risk: lift occupancy, improve the private-pay mix, control staffing and agency costs, keep surveys clean, document your financials, and make targeted capital improvements. At cap rates of 6% to 8%, every $1 of added NOI adds about $12 to $17 of value.
What to know
Occupancy is the biggest lever. Communities at 85% or higher command premium pricing.
Clean books matter. Two to three years of audit-ready P&Ls reduce buyer discounts and re-trading.
Compliance builds confidence. A clean survey history supports a lower cap rate.
Owner dependence lowers value. Build a team that can run the community without you.
