SCOTUS and POTUS
We have to assume that during the remaining three years of President Biden’s term, there will be more battles between POTUS and SCOTUS. But it is getting increasingly difficult to determine who is winning. Take the recent SCOTUS decision upholding the vaccine mandate for healthcare workers in facilities that receive Medicare and Medicaid payments. We all want healthcare workers to be safe, as well as the patients that they serve. But the timeline given for these healthcare workers to be 80%, then 90%, then 100% vaccinated, or else they lose their jobs, well, is it really going to do anyone any good if the staff at hospitals and nursing homes gets reduced further? The simple answer is, no.... Read More »

Majestic Care Acquires Toledo Campus
Genacross Lutheran Services has sold its Toledo Campus to owner/operator Majestic Care, an affiliate of MDG Real Estate Global Ltd. The historic Toledo Campus, which opened in 1953 and has been expanded and renovated many times, needs significant capital improvements that Genacross has been unable to fund. So, the sale provides future financial flexibility and an improved financial position for Genacross while the campus can continue providing a continuum of senior care services.

Lument Refinances Rhode Island Campus
Lument recently closed a $45.9 million HUD loan to refinance an existing HUD mortgage on Tockwotton on the Waterfront, a 156-unit skilled nursing and senior care community in East Providence, Rhode Island.

60 Seconds with Ben Swett: Healthcare and Senior Care M&A Surges
Barely into 2022, we can safely say that the M&A floodgates have opened in the senior care market.
