Recapitalizing with KeyBank
Grant Saunders, Sarah Belmont and Charlie Shoop of KeyBank Real Estate Capital all went to work to recapitalize a portfolio of eight seniors housing and care properties owned by Sentio Healthcare Properties, Inc. First, Saunders and Belmont helped the Orlando-based public, non-traded REIT refinance five of its properties, located in Texas, Florida, New Jersey and Louisiana, with a $62 million balance sheet term loan from KeyBank. Those properties are a combination of independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing facilities. As for the three remaining properties (assisted living and memory care communities) located in Ohio, Maryland and Florida, Mr. Shoop arranged...

We know how long skilled nursing acquisitions can take in the state of New York. That didn’t stop Maximus Healthcare LLC from acquiring Briody’s Health Care, an 82-bed skilled nursing facility in Lockport, New York (just outside of Rochester). It was first announced back in May 2015 that Maximus intended to acquire the facility, which had been owned by the Briody family for three generations. But the family’s presence at the facility will still be felt, with the existing administrator, Ann Briody Petock, electing to stay on. To finance the acquisition, Craig Casagrande of Capital Funding Group originated a $6.683 million bridge loan. Maximus also has plans to modernize the facility’s... Read More »A new public REIT
We have a new publicly traded healthcare REIT. MedEquities Realty Trust priced its 19.9 million share IPO at $12.00 per share, which was at the low end of the potential range of $12.00 to $14.00 per share. It opened at a slight discount of $11.50 per share yesterday in a day that the overall market tanked. The company invests in skilled nursing facilities, hospitals, LTACs and other healthcare real estate properties. It may be small now, but we are sure it will be out there scouting new acquisitions. The new shareholders are counting on it. FBR, J.P. Morgan, Citigroup, KeyBanc Capital Markets, Raymond James and RBC Capital Markets served as joint book-running managers Read More »
Shutting down SNFs
In an unusual move, a large California owner has asked the state to allow it to close three of his SNFs in one county. My friend Steve Moran had an interesting blog post yesterday about the largest skilled nursing facility owner in California. Apparently, he owns five of the six nursing facilities in a somewhat remote county, and has asked the state for permission to close three of them in Eureka. Now, it could be a ploy to receive higher reimbursement at these Medicaid facilities, as there has been a public outcry to not close them. But with 75% occupancy, and staffing shortages so bad that he has to import temporary staff from out of the area, it would be difficult for anyone to cover... Read More »Schedule a demo
