The Saga of Genesis HealthCare Continues
Genesis HealthCare was once one of the largest and most successful skilled nursing companies. But it grew too quickly, made some bad investments over the years (did we mention the billion-dollar merger with The MultiCare Companies?), and it always played the leverage game, whether with leases or debt, and usually both. Last summer, it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for the second time, and in 2021 it came close to filing but got bailed out with a lease restructuring and a $100 million investment. It may have been better off with a BK filing five years ago. Instead, it seemed to put off the inevitable. Nearly two months ago, Pima Capital Partners appeared to be the winning... Read More »

Evans Closes Another High-Priced SNF Sale in NV
Just a month after selling a skilled nursing facility in Nevada for the highest per-bed value ever seen in the state, Evans Senior Investments returned to sell another facility in the Las Vegas MSA for the second-highest per-bed price. That is some momentum. Little was disclosed on the deal, but the 1970s-built facility has approximately 150 beds, with a significant number of private units. It also had a healthy quality mix and some behavioral patients. The facility sold to a regional owner/operator looking to grow its presence in Nevada. The high price from December was close to $325,000 per bed. We know of the sale of Horizon Ridge in Henderson, Nevada, in January 2025 for $33 million,... Read More »

Berkadia recently refinanced Allegro Parkland, an independent living, assisted living and memory care community in Parkland, Florida. A joint venture between Harrison Street Asset Management and Allegro Senior Living was the borrower.
