New Proposal for Capital Senior Living
As we get closer to the voting date for shareholders to approve of the recapitalization proposal of Capital Senior Living by Conversant Capital, with the full support of Cap Senior’s management and board, at long last an alternative plan has been put forward. We didn’t think that Ortelius Advisors had much of a leg to stand on in their proxy fight without any alternative for shareholders to consider. Now we have one, as loosey-goosey as it may be. Ortelius has proposed a new equity rights offering, which they will backstop and subscribe to well beyond their current pro rata holdings of about 12.7%. They believe that raising up to $70 million of new... Read More »

Other Healthcare Sectors See Healthy August Acquisition Activity
The summer surge in deal-making continued into August, and across most of the healthcare industry, with a total of 150 deals announced across all 13 healthcare sectors, a 30% increase from August of 2020.

The new requirement issued by the Biden Administration to force all nursing home workers to be vaccinated by late September, or else the facility will lose all Medicaid and Medicare funding, has unintended consequences that even a moron could see. The rationale was to “level the playing field,” by which I assume they mean preventing workers from leaving one facility with a vaccine mandate policy for another that does not have one. So gee, make all employees get vaccinated or the facility loses 90% of its revenue sources. If they don’t have staff, they can’t take care of people anyway. The problem is that by picking on nursing homes, the employees who don’t want to get jabbed can go work... Read More »
A CMS Study Not “Common Sense” Checked
Last week the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released a study comparing Medicare beneficiaries in nursing homes (about 1.4 million of them) to those Medicare beneficiaries in the general community at large (60.6 million) between March and December of 2020. They were trying to see if there was a difference between the two groups in terms of becoming infected with COVID-19, hospitalized as a result, and then death from it. One article about the story was titled “Medicare nursing home residents more likely to be diagnosed, hospitalized and die from COVID-19 than beneficiaries not in facilities.” Thank you, Captain Obvious. And surprisingly, this did not come from The New York... Read More »Schedule a demo
