Helios Handles Sale, Recap and Financing
Helios Healthcare Advisors structured the sale and recapitalization of an assisted living and memory care provider in Wisconsin. Through the provider’s lender, a publicly traded regional bank with $23 billion in assets, Helios was brought into the process to advise all stakeholders on a viable path to exit the credit and assets associated with the organization. The first step was divesting the non-performing assets to regional operators including behavioral health providers in Wisconsin, which Helios handled. Then, they repackaged the remaining performing assets, brought in a new operator, and arranged the debt to recapitalize the portfolio, keeping the existing financial partner involved... Read More »

60 Seconds with Stephen Monroe: What History Can Tell Us
As many of you know, I like history. And I like looking back in time at our industry. That is how in October 2020 we concluded that we would not get back to pre-pandemic occupancy levels until 2024 to 2025. It was an analysis no one wanted to hear, but the smart ones removed their rose-tinted glasses. In this month’s issue of The SeniorCare Investor, we will take a 10-year lookback at the three largest owners of seniors housing assets: Welltower, Ventas and Brookdale Senior Living. If you had to guess, when do you think occupancy peaked before the pandemic? How about operating margins? How far are they from getting back to “normal?” While progress has been made, what is keeping them from... Read More »

The last company in our sector, Sonida Senior Living, finally reported fourth quarter and full-year 2023 earnings, and while pretty good, that was not even the story. The story started four weeks ago. In February, the company announced a series of capital transactions which reduced their debt, raised some equity, and provided liquidity to take the company on to the next stage. It must have taken a few weeks to sink in, or at least to get investors thinking about the future of the company instead of thinking about survivability. And a year ago, there was a question as to how long the company would stay afloat. In January, the share price averaged between $8 and $9, increasing to a range of... Read More »
Marcus & Millichap Arranges SNF Leases
After purchasing four senior care campuses in a large portfolio deal, a seniors housing owner/operator turned to Marcus & Millichap to find new tenants for the skilled nursing portions of each newly acquired campus. Each building was losing close to $1 million annually and had struggled with occupancy and expenses. While the portfolio purchase was in escrow, the buyer, which solely focused on seniors housing operations, engaged Rob Reis and Nick Stahler of Marcus & Millichap to create a market for each nursing home portion. Despite the negative cash flow, M&M targeted aggressive lease rates and sourced three separate tenants, all regional SNF operators based in... Read More »
LSS Absorbs Diakon
Two large not-for-profits announced that they were combining to create the 12th largest not-for-profit senior living organization in the country. Lutheran Senior Services, based in St. Louis, Missouri, signed an agreement to bring Diakon Senior Living operations and four CCRCs under its umbrella. Both organizations were described by Adam Marles, LSS President and CEO, as financially healthy, not-for-profit organizations that are coming together strategically in the interest of better serving seniors. That has been a common theme among not-for-profits since the pandemic, as they have often required scale to survive in a lower-occupancy and lower-margin environment. But not all have been as...
