Angels Camp, CA…Foothill Village, an independent living, assisted living and memory care senior living community in Angels Camp, Calif., has been acquired by a partnership between Auerbach Funds, Mello Group LLC and Prado Senior Living. Located at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range, Foothill Village specializes in senior assisted living, with the community also offering independent living and memory care options.

The purchase will allow myriad renovations to take place at Foothill Village, including modernizing common areas, adding additional dining outlets to accommodate a “grab and go” concept, building a lounge that overlooks the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and adding outdoor amenities for residents to take advantage of the California climate.

“We’re excited to become a part of the Angels Camp community, and the fact we were able to complete this purchase despite the ongoing pandemic is a testament to our great team,” said Peter Auerbach, founder and managing partner of Auerbach Funds. “We are confident that, bolstered by our value-add and leasing strategy, we will be able to create a better experience for our tenants and their families while also allowing increased potential for our investors.”

Wyatt Mello, principal of Mello Group LLC, added, “We are eager to be a part of the Calaveras County and Angels Camp community and look forward to fostering meaningful relationships between residents, staff, family members and the larger community.”

This marks the third acquisition since Auerbach Funds announced its first close in mid-October for Auerbach Opportunity Fund III. The fund has a target size of $100 million and is currently open to new investors.
