Unlock a $50M Asset: High-ROI Senior Living Expansion Opportunity! This is a strategic development play. For an additional investment of just $4–$6 million, this recently renovated 17-bed Assisted & Independent Living facility can become a $50 million property generating $4 million annually.

Hickory's affordability, access to two major hospitals, and desirable quality of life make it a magnet for seniors. As the baby boomer generation ages, facilities offering upscale, personalized care in a stunning setting will capture disproportionate market share. Turnkey Operations + Flexible Investment! The business is included in the purchase price and comes fully staffed with qualified, experienced professionals ready to run the facility today. Current operations include all private-paying residents, with Medicaid billable for ALF units. Investors have three options: full acquisition, equity partnership, or development loan co-signing in exchange for equity. Seller financing is available.
