60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: Record M&A Year, Again

60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: Record M&A Year, Again

You may start to get tired of hearing us talk about all the records being set, but we will never tire of it. As of November 11, we have passed last year’s record of total acquisitions in the seniors housing and care sector, now standing at over 720 deals, according to LevinPro LTC.

What we don’t know is how long this will last. “Stupid” money that has appeared in previous rising markets has not yet reared its ugly head, but that will probably change. Everyone is looking for a growing market,... Read More »

PACS Group Gets Breathing Room After Defaults

PACS Group (which operates 314 communities across 17 states), Truist Bank, and PACS’ lenders entered into forbearance agreements on Wednesday, August 13. This is the fifth change to the agreements.

The landlords under the Omega Master Lease also agreed to pause enforcement during this same... Read More »
