PGIM Refinances Virginia Seniors Housing Community
PGIM Real Estate’s Seniors Housing and Healthcare Group refinanced a 57-unit seniors housing community in Lynchburg, Virginia with a new HUD loan, providing the owner with substantial annual loan payment savings. That makes for a happy client. Family-owned and operated Runk & Pratt was the borrower, closing its second transaction with PGIM in the last 10 months. The community was built in the 1980s and boasted 95% occupancy. It previously had a HUD mortgage holding an interest rate of 4.25%. However, Christopher Fenton and Catherine Eby arranged a new $13.2 million loan that both extended the borrower’s loan maturity and lowered the interest rate to 3.03%. That results in annual debt...

Texas-Based Operator Acquires Dallas-Area SNF
Jeff Rhodes, Bill Janis and Mario Wilson of Helios Healthcare Advisors arranged acquisition financing for a 120-bed skilled nursing facility in the Dallas metro area. This was the only operation for the current Texas-based operator, which is acquiring the facility from the out-of-state landlord. Newly built in 2014, the facility maintained above average occupancy at the time of the sale. Helping its operations was its location in an affluent suburb near a handful of major hospitals. It also consistently achieves strong clinical ratings. The Helios team arranged a $12.53 million bridge loan from a regional lender to help cover the $13.06 million, or $108,800 per... Read More »
Carnegie Capital Closes Loan With Congressional Bank
JD Stettin of Carnegie Capital secured a bank refinance for a Pennsylvania seniors housing community. Congressional Bank provided the $16.5 million loan, which came with a three-year term and 30 months of interest only. This was the second financing Mr. Stettin has closed for the sponsor, a major national healthcare development fund. A top-tier national operator managed the building, which opened within the last several years with 65 assisted living and 30 memory care units. The loan refinanced the property during its continued lease-up, which was extended due to the pandemic. This capped a busy month for Carnegie Capital during which it announced its new joint venture with Evans Senior... Read More »

Brookdale Selling Home Health & Hospice Business
While not a surprise, since rumors had been floating around for a while, Brookdale Senior Living announced with its fourth quarter earnings that it has agreed to sell an 80% interest in its home health and hospice business (including its outpatient therapy business) to HCA Healthcare, the hospital giant. The sales price is $400 million, implying a $500 million valuation for 100% interest. This comes to about 1.36x revenues for the trailing four quarters ended December 30, 2020, and perhaps 18x to 20x 2021 normalized EBITDA. Last year, we wrote that it would be a home run if they could get any price north of $400 million, so maybe this is a grand slam since they got that... Read More »
Alta Senior Living Targets Middle Market
As it grows throughout the 2020s, the senior living industry will have to provide more “middle market” options to seniors.

Senior Care Leading Indicators
There has not been a lot of good news, but given some leading indicators, the next development boom may be a bit further out than we had expected four months ago. Our focus for the past 12 months has been on the coronavirus pandemic and what it has done to seniors housing and care occupancy rates. We are also on record as stating that getting back to pre-pandemic census levels may take up to four years, partly because we expect development to ramp up again when developers eye the post-2025 demographics. But something else has been happening that may keep some builders away. First, the 10-year treasury rate has more than doubled in the past seven months. Yes, 1.36% is still attractive, but...
