Financing for Seniors Housing and Care in 2023 and Beyond

Financing for Seniors Housing and Care in 2023 and Beyond

So, with all of these issues swirling, that made the timing of this discussion excellent. Watch the discussion here! Read More »

60 Seconds with Swett: Financing for Seniors Housing and Care in 2023 and Beyond

60 Seconds with Swett: Financing for Seniors Housing and Care in 2023 and Beyond

The upheaval in the capital markets has directly impacted the seniors housing and care M&A market by terminating a number of deals, dissuading property owners from even selling, lowering property values and by making the deals that do close that much harder to get done. But the financing world, nor the M&A market, hasn’t come to a standstill. Far from it, especially putting today’s deal activity in historical perspective. That is because there are sellers that still have to sell for a variety of reasons, buyers that are prepared to buy (at a discount, to be sure), owners that have maturing debt and need to refinance, and different types of lenders that still want to put capital out...

Lument Facilitates Not-For-Profit’s Exit from Senior Care

Following the pandemic, we have seen many mom & pop’s exit the senior care industry for a variety of reasons, but we also speculated that smaller not-for-profit organizations would be forced to sell their communities after staffing costs significantly brought down their already-thin operating margins. For many, their missions could be better served by pivoting to other services, and Lument has recently helped a couple of not-for-profits divest their only senior care assets. And the proceeds received from those sales far exceeded the organizations’ highest expectations, putting them in a stronger financial position to continue their work by other means. The most recent transaction saw... Read More »
