HHC Finance Posts Strong Financing Activity in May
The team at Housing & Healthcare Finance (HHC Finance) reported a strong May, closed a couple of HUD loans and a number of rate modifications for senior care clients across the country. The two HUD loans totaled $31 million. A 108-unit assisted living community in Minnesota obtained the first. Built in 1996, it boasted an occupancy rate in the mid-90s. HHC Finance arranged the second HUD loan for a 191-bed skilled nursing facility in California. Built in 1991, it was also occupied in the mid-90s. Both refinances took out higher rate bank debt. HHC Finance didn’t stop there, taking advantage of near-record-low interest rates by closing five loan... Read More »
Assisted Living: Recession Resistant or Not?
Assisted living emerged from the Great Recession largely unscathed. Will history repeat itself 10 years later? Well, I just found out on Monday we are officially in a recession. Not that anyone needed to get the official notice, since we all know what 40 million recently unemployed means for the economy. But what does it mean for assisted living? In the “Great Recession” assisted living came out looking pretty good because of its need-driven characteristics. In the ensuing 10 years, average per-unit prices soared to record levels even as over-development caused some census issues. So, is this recession, or potential depression, going to be different? The elderly will continue to need care,... Read More »

Cushman & Wakefield Finances South Carolina Community
Two years after financing a senior living project in Rock Hill, South Carolina (Charlotte MSA), Cushman & Wakefield returned to refinance the newly opened community. Operated by Harbor Retirement Associates, the community comprises 88 units and 92 beds of assisted living and memory care within the Riverwalk master planned development, which will encompass more than 1,000 single-family homes and 550 apartments, as well as extensive retail and an award-winning restaurant. Private equity firm BridgeForth Capital, the owner, only had the community open for a month before the pandemic hit, but lease-up was luckily strong beforehand. In October 2018, Richard Swartz, Aaron Rosenzweig and... Read More »
Monticello Secures Working Capital For Southeast SNF Portfolio
Just a week after arranging first lien debt for a portfolio of three skilled nursing facilities in Kentucky and North Carolina, MONTICELLOAM, LLC and its affiliates (Monticello) went back and secured a working capital loan to the portfolio’s operating companies. Averaging nearly 50 years in age, the portfolio totals 312 beds. Two of the facilities were refinanced with the debt, while a 114-bed facility in Kentucky was acquired. Given the age, we image some of that working capital will be put to use modernizing and refurbishing the physical plants. The first lien debt totaled $30 million, with a 36-month term, while the working capital loan totaled $2.50 million. They were arranged on... Read More »

Blueprint Finds New Tenant for Kansas City-Area SNF
Working on behalf of a REIT landlord, Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors found a new tenant for a 140-bed skilled nursing facility in Liberty, Missouri (Kansas City MSA). Built in 1971 with all semi-private units, the facility was approximately 80% occupied. Cash flow was also near stable levels, but rent coverage was limited. Owned by Omega Healthcare Investors, it was the only facility in Missouri for the operator, Consulate Health Care. As a result, Consulate sought an exit in order to focus on other core markets, but previous efforts proved ineffective. However, right after the onset of COVID-19, Michael Segal and Ben Firestone initiated the lease transition to REACH LTC, an... Read More »
