60 Seconds with Swett: Burning Questions for NIC Attendees

It’s hard not to be optimistic when occupancy and margins are increasing to healthy levels nationally, and show no signs of stopping, when liquidity is increasing and when values are rising across both seniors housing and skilled nursing. We’ll want some questions answered when we hit the ground in Nashville, too. Like will prices for core, Class-A assets rise enough to force more investors into the Class-B/value-add space, and increase prices for those assets in 2026? Or, will the continued resident rate...

Several Senior Care Finances Close
Jeremy Warren of Montgomery Intermediary Group reported an active end of winter, closing a handful of debt transactions for clients in Illinois and Kentucky. First, he helped the owner of a 77-bed skilled nursing facility in Kentucky refinance existing acquisition debt following a successful operational turnaround.
