Carnegie Capital Finances Two SNF Acquisitions

JD Stettin of Carnegie Capital could not get enough of Texas this month, closing two loans for skilled nursing facilities in the state before attending the NIC Conference in Dallas. Both loans facilitated acquisitions of the facilities.

That led to a substantial decrease in the Medicaid census and cash flow, and upon closing the acquisition, the facility’s EBITDAR was negative, excluding QIPP... Read More »
