It was announced that Capital Funding Group arranged acquisition financing for International Equity Partners and Cypress Healthcare Group’s purchase of three skilled nursing facilities in California. The not-for-profit Eskaton sold the facilities to exit the stand-alone SNF space, and it was represented by Ziegler in the process.

The sale included the 99-bed Eskaton Care Center Manzanita in Carmichael, the 148-bed Eskaton Care Center Greenhaven in Sacramento and the 149-bed Eskaton Care Center Fair Oaks in Fair Oaks. All were built around 1980 and were losing millions on $42.1 million of 2022 revenues. The transition process required Attorney General approval, which was given in September.

The $35.64 million purchase price, which comes out to around $90,000 per bed, was partially financed by the $30.3 million loan closed by CFG. Tim Eberhardt and Ava Julio originated the transaction for the company.
