It currently consists of 170 entrance-fee independent living units, 20 rental IL units, 46 assisted living units, 35 memory care units and 29 skilled nursing beds.

Walker & Dunlop Lands HUD Financing For Two Senior Care Properties
Two senior care properties obtained permanent HUD financing courtesy of Walker & Dunlop to replace their original acquisition debt. Joshua Rosen led the origination team on the transactions. Cascade Capital Group acquired the 136-bed supportive living facility in Aurora, Illinois earlier this year, thanks in part to an $11.03 million nine-month bridge loan arranged by Mr. Rosen from W&D’s balance sheet, which covered 100% of the acquisition costs. Built in 1964, the community is located adjacent to a 156-bed skilled nursing facility. It is being refinanced by a $14.65 million HUD loan, so Cascade must have added some significant value to the... Read More »

Average Seniors Housing Occupancy Falls To Record-Low
The latest occupancy figures are out from NIC, and we suppose it could have been worse. Seniors housing communities reported that their census dropped on average by 280 basis points in the second quarter of 2020, from 87.7% to 84.5%. That is the lowest level ever recorded since NIC started reporting this data 14 years ago. Separating the market out, assisted living communities experienced a steeper decline, from 85.3% to 82.1% during the quarter, while independent living, which was in better health as a sector going into the pandemic, fell 240 basis points to 87.4%. Given the longer lengths of stay and the younger, healthier residents in independent living, that makes sense. Being a more... Read More »
Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors Closes Six Deals
With all the difficulties in securing debt, visiting properties and obtaining third-party approvals, let alone the financial uncertainty of purchasing a senior care property right now, deals are still getting done, and Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors announced the closing of six senior care transactions in a three-day span. Those transactions totaled more than $76.6 million too. We’re sure it took a lot of creativity and some long nights to get over the finish line, so well done. The deals closed at the end of the second quarter and into the third, a typically busy time for dealmaking normally, but this represented a 50% increase over Blueprint activity during the same...

Federal Oversight Coming To Assisted Living?
Congressional report on assisted living and COVID-19 looks more like a hatchet job than really trying to help. Senators Warren and Markey’s report is in, and try counting how many times the word “federal” was used, as in there are no “federal” reporting requirements, data should be regularly reported to the “federal” government, assisted living facilities should receive support through “federal” programs, and on and on. They had sent a very detailed questionnaire to the 11 largest assisted living operators, and found that 24% of the communities operated by them had at least one positive COVID-19 test, and 8% had outbreaks of at least 10 residents, with positive cases coming in at more...
