SavaSeniorCare Sells a Couple of Illinois SNFs
SavaSeniorCare sold a couple of its Illinois properties, part of its plan to transfer the operations of some 48 facilities in its portfolio by the end of 2021. The deal represents the company’s last two properties in the Land of Lincoln. First, it is handing over the keys of its 74-bed subacute/skilled nursing facility in Mount Vernon, Illinois, to a Midwest-based regional owner/operator. Built in the 1960s with additions throughout the 1970s, the facility provides a range of services from post-op rehab, stroke recovery and respiratory care to advanced therapy modalities like diathermy, heat and cold therapies and electrical stimulation, just to name a few. Lab and X-ray services are also... Read More »
Monarch Advisors Secures Revolving Line of Credit
Alec Blanc of Monarch Advisors closed a revolving line of credit for the operator of five skilled nursing facilities in southern Illinois, the purpose being to fund working capital costs across the portfolio. The borrower is based in Chicago and has operated the buildings for more than 10 years. They total about 600 beds and tended to be older, more rural facilities. Mr. Blanc secured a commitment from a national commercial finance company to provide a $2.75 million loan that allows advances up to 85% of the net collective value of accounts receivable. The non-recourse financing also came with a two-year, interest-only term and a floating rate. Read More »Recent Senior Care M&A Deals, Week Ending May 14, 2021

Are More Capital Senior Living Problems Coming Due?
Capital Senior Living released its first quarter earnings this week, and the results were sort of a mixed bag. Of course, the occupancy results were great news, with April average census rising 140 basis points from the Q1 average to 76.95%. And spot occupancy increased from 75.3% at the end of February to 78.5% by the end of April, for a 320-basis point increase. We’re not sure if we’ve seen a steeper increase. About 93% of residents are now vaccinated, COVID cases fell to zero across the 60 owned communities, and 100% of communities are open to new residents, so the runway to recovery is smoother. Looking forward, CSU will also not be encumbered by the 39... Read More »

United Community Bank Closes Two Loans
United Community Bank (UCB) closed two new loans in the month of April, both for senior care facilities in the Southeast. First, in Terra Bella, Florida, the UCB team originated a $24.8 million loan for Keystone Senior Living to refinance its 140-unit independent living, assisted living and memory care community. Renasant Bank partnered with UCB on the transaction, which featured a 36-month term and variable interest rate. Keystone built the community in 2016 with a construction loan and mezzanine debt. The new 75% loan-to-value loan from UCB, plus additional sponsor equity, took out that debt. The bank also originated acquisition financing for Carlyle Senior Care to exercise a lease... Read More »

Celebrating 30 Years
The American Seniors Housing Association has been supporting the senior living industry for 30 years now, with David Schless at the helm throughout. I fondly remember going to my first annual meeting of the American Seniors Housing Association, back when it was part of the National Multifamily Housing Council. Let’s just say it was quite smaller than it is today, and I have to say, a bit more intimate. If you attended one of those early meetings, you may remember my question to Murry Gunty of Lazard Freres, when in the 1990s he was in the middle of patching together a company that seemed very disorganized, as I outlined his various, unconnected acquisitions. I asked, “So Murry, what’s the... Read More »
Lument Arranges Construction Financing From USDA
Lument closed a USDA CF loan to fund the construction of a 91-unit senior care campus in DeWitt, Iowa. Two Iowa-based companies, WesleyLife and Genesis Health System, teamed up to break ground on the project at the end of 2020. Featuring 91 total units, including a 70-unit skilled nursing facility (of which 16 units will be for dementia care) and 21 units of assisted living, the community is replacing the 50-year-old SNF on campus that was attached to a hospital. It will operate under the Wellspire brand, which was formed in 2019 as a partnership between WesleyLife and Genesis. To fund the project, Lument’s Quintin Harris and Adam Walker secured a $21.8 million loan through the... Read More »Schedule a demo
