Healthcare M&A Hits Frenzied Pace
Deals are still bubbling to the surface, but the second quarter is in the books, and it was another big one for healthcare M&A. Across the 13 sectors, spanning from behavioral health and rehabilitation to biotechnology and our bailiwick, long-term care, we recorded 423 separate transactions, up from 393 deals in the first quarter, according to our M&A database Deal Search Online. Leading the way in activity, not surprisingly, was Long-Term Care with 113 mergers and acquisitions, followed by Other Services (which includes urgent care centers, ambulatory care centers, CROs and other health care services not placed into the other sectors) with 49, eHealth (47), Pharmaceuticals (37)...

CareTrust Invests in Idaho
CareTrust REIT and Cascadia Healthcare expanded their relationship to 12 facilities and 1,013 total beds with the REIT’s acquisition of a brand-new transitional care facility in Nampa, Idaho. This transaction was by no means out of the blue. Cascadia’s development affiliate opened the 99-bed facility in 2017, but before that, CareTrust had made a preferred equity investment in the property in addition to obtaining a purchase option at a formula-based price upon stabilization of the operations. Fill-up must have gone smoothly, since the property sold to CareTrust for approximately $12.8 million, inclusive of transaction costs and after receiving credit for its original equity investment and...

Cascade Capital Group Acquires 16 Former Skyline SNFs
The future is looking brighter for 16 South Dakota skilled nursing facilities formerly owned by Golden Living and operated by Skyline Healthcare, as Cascade Capital Group acquired the portfolio. The facilities had been operated by a receiver since last Spring, after Skyline infamously ran nearly empty on basic food and medical supplies for them. Houlihan Lokey Capital represented Golden Living in the transaction, which included more than 1,000 beds across the state from Rapid City to Sioux Falls. To fund the deal, Cascade secured financing through its long-standing lending partner, CIBC Bank USA. Cascade’s operating partner, Legacy Healthcare, will take over the operations; no easy task....

Clousing Sizzles in the Southeast
The summer heat isn’t getting to Brad Clousing of Senior Living Investment Brokerage, who recently closed two transactions in the Southeast. First, Mr. Clousing was joined by Daniel Geraghty and Dave Balow to sell a personal care community about 65 miles northeast of Atlanta. Originally built in 1994, the community operates with 24 private personal care units and 10 semi-private memory care units. It was extensively renovated in 2015 and offers additional room for an expansion. With the renovation complete and the community stabilized at 97% occupancy, its local owner/operator decided to exit the asset. A Northeast owner/operator entered the Georgia market with its purchase of the... Read More »Schedule a demo
