Helios Arranges Sale in Massachusetts
A family-run organization is getting out of the skilled nursing business (along with many other mom & pops across the country) and sold its 63-bed facility in northwest Massachusetts. Built in the mid-1960s, the facility was also operated by the seller but recently experienced a census decline from the mid-80s to the high-60s. That is because the Massachusetts Department of Public Health recently proposed and implemented a removal of all three- and four-bed wards at SNFs in the state. The industry has been moving past wards for a while now, but some operators of older, mostly Medicaid facilities rely on them to fill beds and cover their overhead costs. With Medicaid reimbursement rates... Read More »Northbridge Refinances Massachusetts Community

Knighthead Funds Active Adult Construction
Knighthead Funding, LLC has provided The Northwind Group with a $34.5 million first mortgage construction loan for the development of an active adult community in Selden, New York. The loan was underwritten to a roughly 69% “as-complete” value, and the property is fully permitted, planned and approved. Situated on 13.84 acres, the complex will comprise 124 two-bedroom, two-bath units, including 36 affordable homes in 15 two-story residential buildings. Considering the supply/demand imbalance and the limited prospects for new construction in the area, Knighthead’s capital will help Northwood bring needed quality senior housing to a market with high barriers to entry. This is the... Read More »
Monarch Funds New Ohio Development
We haven’t seen much construction lending these days, with construction costs and interest rates rising, but Alec Blanc of Monarch Advisors secured an $18.9 million loan to fund a 105-unit/116-bed senior care project in Bowling Green, Ohio. The community is being developed by Trilogy Opportunity Fund I, an affiliate of Louisville, Kentucky-based Trilogy Health Services, at a cost of $23.625 million, or $225,000 per unit. Construction costs went up during the process, but the bank modified the loan to main an 80% loan-to-cost. There are 50 skilled nursing beds, 34 assisted living/memory care units and 25 independent living units. Monarch secured a senior loan commitment from a... Read More »
The Portopiccolo Group Acquires Michigan SNF Portfolio
Northland Networks, a debt placement agent that finances senior living projects through a large network of community banks, arranged acquisition financing for a portfolio of three skilled nursing facilities in southeast Michigan with 250 beds. The loan represents a 65% loan-to-“as is” value. The attractive terms of the loan are indicative of community banks’ swelling cash deposits amid COVID-19 stimulus. Participating in senior living loans is an attractive option for many of these banks who have had minimal exposure to this asset class in the past, as such loans offer strong yields and diversification benefits. The Portopiccolo Group, a family-owned investment management firm, acquired... Read More »
Blueprint Arranges Another Ohio Deal
A few weeks after arranging the sale of 17 skilled nursing facilities in Ohio, the Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors team of Connor Doherty and Ryan Kelly sold a SNF in the Dayton, Ohio MSA. Called Good Shepherd Village, the facility was built in the 1960s and thoroughly renovated in the 1990s. Operations were sold, but ownership decided to exit the industry while taking advantage of the seller’s market in skilled nursing. For context, the numerous buyers chasing relatively few facilities on the market led the average price per bed to rise to a near-record of $98,000 per bed in 2021, according to our recently published 27th Edition of The Senior Care Acquisition Report. That price... Read More »
