Where can I find nursing homes for sale?
Direct answer
Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) for sale are listed by specialist healthcare brokers and on commercial marketplaces, but many trade confidentially to qualified buyers. Because most revenue comes from Medicare and Medicaid, buyers need to be ready for a state licensing change, a Medicare and Medicaid change of ownership and a state-licensed nursing home administrator.
What to know
Skilled nursing prices well below assisted living per bed. Early-2026 indications run about $30,000 to $80,000 per bed.
Cap rates reflect reimbursement and regulatory risk: about 8.0% to 9.5% in certificate-of-need states and 11% to 17% in states without CON.
Buyers review payor mix, state Medicaid rates, CMS star ratings and inspection history before anything else.
Closings take longer than assisted living sales because of the Medicare and Medicaid change-of-ownership process.
