Our Cost Segregation Services for Assisted Living Facilities

Comprehensive cost segregation solutions designed to maximize accelerated depreciation and tax savings for assisted living facility owners.

Engineering-Based Cost Segregation Study

A full engineering analysis of your assisted living facility that reclassifies building components into 5, 7, or 15-year depreciation schedules—unlocking substantial first-year deductions and improving operational cash flow.

Lookback Cost Segregation Study

Recover missed depreciation on your assisted living facility purchased or constructed up to 15 years ago. Using IRS Form 3115, we capture all unclaimed deductions in a single tax year—no amended returns required.

Virtual Property Tours

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cost segregation and how does it work for assisted living facilities?

Cost segregation is an IRS-approved tax strategy that involves an engineering-based study to reclassify components of your assisted living facility from 39-year depreciation into shorter 5, 7, or 15-year categories. Items like specialty flooring, cabinetry, electrical systems for medical equipment, and site improvements all qualify. This accelerates your depreciation deductions, generating significant tax savings and improved cash flow in the early years of ownership.
