Carnegie Capital Secures Refinance of AL Community
JD Stettin of Carnegie Capital helped secure the refinance of a small assisted living community in a secondary market near Charlotte, North Carolina. The community was built in the 1980s and features under 30 units of assisted living. It operated well throughout the pandemic, and around half of its census comprised Medicaid residents. There was a triple-net lease on the property that was set to expire prior to the loan’s maturity. With the help of Mr. Stettin, the community’s mom & pop owner secured a roughly $1.5 million loan from a local bank with a sub-4% interest rate fixed for a five-year term. It came with no prepayment penalty for the life of the loan and paid off all secured... Read More »

About the Webinar: There is no question that nursing facilities were the hardest hit during the pandemic, both in the media and with a significant drop in census. Yet, providers and investors continued to buy, albeit usually at lower average prices. The sector’s reputation took a huge hit, and the talk about home health and other models grew to replace the standard nursing facility model with semi-private rooms. But most of those models are more costly, and the funds simply are not there in the state and federal budgets. The skilled nursing sector has long been the low-cost producer in senior care, and with rising acuity levels, assisted living usually can’t replace it. And home health...

For a sector that has taken as many punches as it has in the last couple of years, the ever-resilient SNF market is still generating significant interest from investors that is pushing valuations to near-record highs. We still wonder who these buyers are, whether any are new to the sector and what their future expectations are surrounding census, payor mix, rates and labor costs to ensure these investments remain profitable in the years ahead. It also appears that values are up for both stabilized and non-stabilized facilities, so owners large and small could be tempted off the M&A sidelines in 2022 leading to a boom in transaction activity. A lot would have to depend on what happens... Read More »
Sonida Senior Living Census Gains Stalled
After the March to September outsized occupancy gains (but to July for some companies), it does seem that census growth is stalling before the Holiday season and the dreaded first quarter. Sonida Senior Living, the rebranded name for the former Capital Senior Living, just announced its most recent monthly occupancy statistics, and while “average” occupancy held “steady” in November at 81.2%, one would hope for a bit more growth as we enter the winter months. In addition, it appears to be at the lowest occupancy level since July, a four-month time period where average occupancy has not really moved. End-of-month occupancy slipped by 60 basis points in November to 81.7%, which is also... Read More »Schedule a demo
