Birmingham, Michigan (May 1, 2026) - Kandu Capital, LLC, a family office specializing in real estate and healthcare, and its operating company, Bloom Senior Living (collectively, "Bloom"), today announced the acquisition of a senior living community in Rocky River, Ohio. The transaction continues Bloom's expansion of its diversified portfolio of Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care communities across the United States.
After strategically divesting more than $138 million of Skilled Nursing, Behavioral Health, and Senior Housing assets at peak valuations—up to $225,000 per bed/unit— from an initial approximately $29 million investment and reinvesting capital last year into new Senior Housing assets in Indiana at less than $30,000 per unit, Bloom continues to expand its Midwest presence and redeploy capital into Senior Housing at $70,000 per unit with this transaction. The acquisition also marks Bloom's return to the Ohio market, which the company knows well from its nearly decade-long ownership of a community in neighboring Lakewood.
The community—now known as Bloom at Rocky River—was acquired on an all-cash basis from a publicly traded REIT for significantly below replacement cost. The high-end property is located in an affluent western suburb of Cleveland with strong demographics and growing demand for quality senior care. Bloom plans to introduce its signature Five-Star Customer Service and Dining Programs, Life Enrichment offerings, and specialized Memory Care services, while enhancing the resident lifestyle with personalized, family-oriented touches that distinguish Bloom communities nationwide.
Bloom’s mission is simple yet aspirational: to help residents flourish. Through a modern, lifestyle-based approach to healthcare, Bloom enables seniors to continue living full lives by enjoying their favorite activities, discovering new ones, and “blooming” into their best selves through learning, growth, and discovery. The company’s proprietary “Bloomprint” model—focused on hands-on leadership, exceptional service, and staff stability—has driven high occupancy, strong resident and associate satisfaction, and excellent survey outcomes across communities in Indiana, Florida, Ohio, South Carolina, Louisiana, Arizona, California and beyond.
Bloom is well-positioned for its next phase of strategic growth as the seniors housing industry enters a new super cycle. Market fundamentals—including surging demand, limited new supply, and strong absorption signaling a historic demographic shift—are expected to push occupancy, profitability, and valuations beyond the industry’s previous 2014-2015 highs.
With a scalable operating platform, near-full occupancy across its core portfolio, record rent and net operating income growth, a strong balance sheet, and a pipeline of opportunities, Bloom is poised to capitalize on sector tailwinds and continue investing prudently in high-quality assets that advance its mission of helping residents flourish.
