Greystone is back again, with Vice President Stella Plotkin providing a $22.5 million bridge loan to refinance Aspen Creek Senior Living in Anchorage, Alaska. This 96-unit assisted living community was completed in 2019, with 21 of the units designated for memory care residents. The loan pays off existing debt that funded the property’s initial construction, allowing the borrower to complete current renovation projects, including on the secured memory care wing. Greystone’s interest-only, floating-rate bridge loan has a 24-month term with two six-month extension options, with the goal of transitioning to permanent HUD-insured financing. The transaction was completed on behalf... Read More »
Tutera Adds to Kansas Portfolio
After operating it for a couple of years, Tutera Senior Living took over ownership of a skilled nursing facility in receivership in Derby, Kansas. Nick Cacciabando of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the sale on behalf of the receiver. This small facility, which features 45 beds, was built in 1976. A few years ago, Virginia-based alternative asset manager Mooring Financial purchased the distressed HUD debt on the property. This was their only senior care asset and decided to exit the facility. Operations had declined during the pandemic, and the facility was losing money at the time of the sale with an occupancy of around 80%. During that time, the facility had an initial... Read More »

More than seven months into 2021, assisted living communities have been the most popular targets in the M&A market, representing a plurality, or 41%, of all transactions in the year, so far. Average prices have also risen compared with last year, according to our in-house statistics. But we still have many questions about the market’s fundamentals, what is motivating investors, and how different facilities are being valued today. Has pent-up demand already exhausted itself for this need-based product? Is the recovery meeting expectations, particularly for cash flow rather than just census? Are stand-alone communities preferred, or a continuum of care? These types could be valued very... Read More »
Capital Senior Living Corrects Earnings Statement
Early today, Capital Senior Living announced revisions to its second quarter earnings report, most likely as a result of our reporting last Friday of the very misleading error, as well as management’s denial of any reporting issue during the earnings call. No one else caught the mistake, and it was not an insignificant one. In today’s release, they called it an “inconsistency” in the preparation of the supplemental information with regard to operating expenses and operating margin. As a result, the operating margin for the second quarter was 21.5% and not 28.7% as was originally reported. The originally reported 860-basis point sequential increase in operating margin should...
