60 Seconds with Swett: OHI Soars After Q1 Earnings
Omega Healthcare Investors came out with its first quarter earnings on Monday May 2nd, and its share price soared throughout Tuesday, peaking at 28.89 per share (as of this filming), or up 14.8% from its previous close at $25.13. Granted, that is still not far off of its 52-week low of $24.81, but good news is good news. First off, the company announced that it successfully sold 22 of its struggling Gulf Coast Health Care skilled nursing facilities, representing the majority of that portfolio for $318 million in cash. Gulf Coast had stopped paying contractual rent in the second quarter of 2021 as it was in the process of filing for chapter 11, so getting these facilities off its plate... Read More »
Another Mom & Pop Retires from SNF Business
An older skilled nursing facility sold in Vincennes, Indiana, with multiple offers ultimately yielding an Indiana-based owner/operator as the buyer.

LTC Properties Comes Out with Q1 Earnings

Low-Cost Financing by Sims as Rates Rise
As interest rates are rising, one lucky borrower was able to lock in a 2.25% interest rate for 35 years. And that loan won’t be funded until construction is completed on an expansion project. This sounds better than HUD financings of a year ago. HJ Sims announced the closing of a $32.2 million bank financing for a CCRC in Pontiac, Illinois called Evenglow Lodge. The loan proceeds will be used for the construction of 76 new assisted living units, the demolition of the existing assisting living building, as well as new common space and other space used by the health center. Phase one is the assisted living project, which broke ground in 2021. Phase two will consist of the construction of 24... Read More »Schedule a demo
