Walker & Dunlop Arranges HUD Financing For Wisconsin Acquisition
To support the acquisition of a 50-unit assisted living community in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Walker & Dunlop structured a HUD loan assumption for the out-of-state buyer, Senior Opportunity Funds Holding Company. We covered the deal in January when Ray Giannini of Marcus & Millichap announced he represented the seller, a husband-and-wife team who have worked diligently to maintain census and keep the community COVID-free throughout 2020. Contrary to many seniors housing communities today, this property was fully occupied, with a 100% private pay census at the time of closing. It also reported strong cash flow and was relatively new construction, having been built in phases from 2009... Read More »
Oxford Finance Secures Credit Facility For Florida SNF Acquisition
Oxford Finance closed a large senior credit facility and revolving line of credit to support the acquisition of four skilled nursing facilities in Florida. Pointe Group Care, an owner/operator of skilled nursing and assisted living facilities in Massachusetts and Florida, was the buyer and borrower. Totaling $57.2 million, the financing package will also be used to fund working capital and refinance existing debt. Neither party released any other details on the deal. This is not the first transaction closed between Oxford and Pointe Group, and existing relationships have proven key to getting deals done in this pandemic environment. Read More »
The Ups and Downs of Genesis Healthcare
Two weeks ago, we reported on the restructuring that is taking place at Genesis Healthcare, with the infusion of new capital that will eventually take this new investor to a fully diluted ownership interest in excess of 40%. That news sent the share price tumbling 47% to a low of $0.43 per share. Trading volume over two days was more than 59 million shares, or more than 53% of the total float. Then, a week later, the share price jumped by 48% mid-day to a high of $0.74 per share, ending the day at an increase of “just” 20%. Trading volume on that day? A mere 73 million shares, or about two-thirds of the float. The day before and the day after that momentous day, another 26... Read More »
Senior Care Centers Saga Continues
LTC Properties sent a notice of default to Senior Care Centers (SCC) and ABRI Health Services after they failed to pay the March rent due as well as additional charges under the master lease. LTC will make draws under SCC’s letter of credit to cover the payments, which are a minimum of $1.2 million per month. The lease covers 11 skilled nursing facilities in Texas with approximately 1,400 beds operated by SCC. Many of SCC’s properties have already been transferred to other operators, and it appears as if these 11 will be added to the total. LTC Properties expects to transition these 11 to Texas-based HMG Healthcare by the end of the second... Read More »

Regions Bank Announces Several Loan Closings
Loan requests keep pouring into Regions Bank, and the team has been for the most part obliging. Of course, the bank has to be discerning on which projects or deals to fund, and most likely more conservative in its terms, but we’re happy to see a continuous flow of activity from them. We know most lenders would like to be closing more deals, if it were not for the slower third-party approvals and inspections these days. Jack Boulder of Regions Bank completed a two-part financing to support Trilogy Health Services’ acquisition of four skilled nursing and assisted living properties. Located in Kentucky, Ohio and Michigan, the properties all provided a mix of... Read More »
