Blueprint’s Recent Activity

Blueprint’s Recent Activity

We have said it before: the senior care M&A market has been an enigma. The difficult capital markets environment combined with operational distress in the industry has reduced buyer demand, increased lender scrutiny of deals and lowered values to a level that discourages potential sellers from entering the market. Headaches involving sourcing debt, soaring insurance costs and skittish (some would say fickle) buyers/lenders have made each transaction that much more difficult to complete. Despite all of this, M&A activity is, at first glance, still at historically high levels. In the third quarter of 2023, 115 deals were publicly announced. That is down from the 140 transactions made... Read More »
Trustwell Living Doubles In Size

Trustwell Living Doubles In Size

After launching in early 2021, Trustwell Living has added an additional 24 communities with 1,126 units to its growing portfolio. These 24 properties are located in eight states and bring Trustwell’s total portfolio to 45 communities with more than 2,300 units in 14 states. For now. This will be a lot of work for the company, since it just transitioned 16 communities with 762 units in three states (Florida, Illinois and Ohio) last June. Prior to that, Trustwell had just five communities under management. Good thing they had the corporate infrastructure in place. In the current agreement, they started transitioning 12 communities at the end of June, six more in September and the final six... Read More »

60 Seconds with Monroe: Finding A Solution For LTC Funding

60 Seconds with Monroe: Finding A Solution For LTC Funding

My friend Stephen Moses, president of the Center for Long-Term Care Reform, has been a consistent and persistent advocate for reforming the Medicaid system and getting Americans out of the Medicaid-dependency mindset. He just published, with the Paragon Health Institute, the follow-on to his paper “Long-Term Care: The Problem.” Available now is “Long-Term Care: The Solution.” While I was hoping for something completely new and creative, I can’t disagree with his recommendations, which include 1) stop the ability to purchase Medicaid-exempt assets, 2) eliminate the home equity exemption, 3) ban Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts, 4) disallow Medicaid compliant annuities, and 5) increase the...

Brookdale Occupancy Continues to Grow

Brookdale Occupancy Continues to Grow

As we have mentioned time and again, the seniors housing industry needs Brookdale Senior Living to succeed. While census continues to increase, the pace needs to increase as well before we head into the flu season this winter, which usually sees a drop in census. Many providers were spared this seasonal decline in census last year, as the industry’s recovery was stronger than the flu season. But Brookdale lost 90 basis points of census in the first quarter this year. September’s weighted average occupancy increased 60 basis points from August, to 78.2%. Month-end occupancy in September increased by 40 basis points from August, to 79.7%, inching closer to that psychological 80% level. But... Read More »
Breathing Room Gets Bigger for Sonida Senior Living

Breathing Room Gets Bigger for Sonida Senior Living

Three months ago, Sonida Senior Living announced a comprehensive loan forbearance agreement with Fannie Mae covering 37 mortgaged communities. Part two occurred last week, which was the signing of loan modifications for these loans. It appears that the terms from three months ago remained in place. All maturities under the 37 loans have been extended to December 2026 or later. Principal payments have been deferred for three years or waived until maturity, resulting in $33 million in deferred payments. A near-term interest rate reduction for all 37 loans will result in $6.1 million in cash interest rate savings from June 2023 to May 2024. As part of the agreement, Sonida paid down $5... Read More »
