Seniors Housing And NIMBY
When NIMBYism hits home, and in my mailbox. I put some mail in my mailbox at home this morning (yes, I still use the USPS), and overnight someone slipped a “Dear Neighbors” letter in the box. It wanted to make us aware of a “massive” new development planned just two blocks from the downtown area of town. And what is the plan? A CCRC, which is something our growing elderly population has been clamoring for for a few decades. It is sponsored by the local not-for-profit that already has a skilled nursing facility and a small IL community, which is really assisted living “lite.” But there has never been anything like a CCRC, which is what many of the elderly want. Large units, services,... Read More »
The Brookdale Restructuring Continues
No one can say that Brookdale Senior Living hasn’t been hard at work restructuring its assets and balance sheet as it tries to steady the operational ship. Well, maybe we can think of a couple of people. Nevertheless, Brookdale announced that it reached a series of agreements with its landlord HCP Inc. to hopefully put the company on surer financial and operational footing. First, BKD will sell its unconsolidated JV interests amounting to 51% of a portfolio of 13 CCRCs and 5,641 total units to HCP for $510 million, or about $177,000 per unit assuming 100% interest. The deal nets Brookdale about $277 million in cash proceeds after pro rata debt on the properties. The transaction is expected... Read More »
SLIB Handles Small Pennsylvania Portfolio Sale
Ryan Saul and Toby Siefert of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the sale of two senior care facilities in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Local media reported the acquisition in March, naming Allied Services Integrated Health System, a locally based not-for-profit health system, as the buyer. Located less than one mile apart, these were the only skilled nursing/seniors housing assets owned by the not-for-profit seller, the Diocese of Scranton, which cited the industry’s increased complexity as its reason to exit. One of the properties was built in 1975 and 1998 with 133 skilled nursing beds and an attached 60-unit personal care community. The other property was built in the mid-1970s... Read More »
KeyBank Arranges Financing for Foundations Health Solutions
KeyBank Real Estate Capital secured an $11 million HUD loan for Foundations Health Solutions to pay down acquisition debt it used to buy a 150-bed skilled nursing facility in Columbus, Ohio. KeyBank had provided the original $87.5 million bridge loan, which supported the acquisition of this Columbus facility plus eight other facilities previously owned by Welltower. The facility was originally built in 1968, with renovations in 1995 and 2007. To this point, KeyBank has closed $47 million of HUD loans for the portfolio, including a $36.3 million loan for four facilities totaling 442 licensed beds located throughout Ohio. As with that transaction, John Randolph of KeyBank’s Commercial... Read More »
Contemporary Secures Another Mezz Loan
Contemporary Healthcare Capital helped finance another acquisition this month for a 50-bed skilled nursing facility in Gastonia, North Carolina. Ivy Senior Living was the borrower, obtaining both a senior loan from Millennium Bank and Alliance Bank, and a $504,750 mezzanine loan from Contemporary. The combined loans will fund the acquisition, a $200,000 working capital line of credit and $200,000 for facility renovations. This is the second acquisition mezzanine financing Contemporary has closed in the last month. In September, the firm helped affiliates of Opal Senior Living acquire a 115-bed assisted living/memory care community in Nashville, Tennessee. Opal received a $500,000 mezzanine... Read More »

Lancaster Pollard Refinances Denver-Area Portfolio
Applewood Our House worked with Lancaster Pollard to refinance its entire portfolio of memory care communities in the Denver, Colorado market. The five memory care communities are all on the smaller side, totaling 76 units across the portfolio. They were built between 2007 and 2018 and range in size from 10 to 16 units with a mix of private and shared rooms. Applewood’s rent structure is something we don’t always see in assisted living or memory care, in that it offers a flat rate, all inclusive, pricing structure for private and shared rooms with no “add on” fees. Those extra care charges, while sometimes necessary to keep the community profitable, can often be an unwelcome surprise to... Read More »
Dwight Capital Closes Cash-Out Loan
Dwight Capital arranged a cash-out refinance for the owners of a 106-bed skilled nursing facility in Pikeville, Kentucky, paying off an acquisition loan that Dwight financed in 2018. Built in 1970 less than a mile from the 250-bed Pikeville Medical Center, the facility was previously owned by a publicly traded REIT and operated by Signature HealthCARE. It was well-maintained and over 90% occupied, but escalating liability insurance costs caused cash flow problems. A partnership between an investor and an operator emerged as the buyer, and both entered the Kentucky market with the acquisition. The facility also was subject to a ground lease owned by a group of local investors. Blueprint... Read More »
Brookdale Expands Dialysis Services at Four Texas CCRCs
Brookdale Senior Living announced that the company would be partnering with Dialyze Direct to provide on-site dialysis at four of its CCRC campuses in Texas. Two of the locations began offering the service earlier this year, but one campus in Houston will open a Dialyze Direct suite with eight chairs this week, and the other property in Austin will start the service soon. This is just one of several expansions of on-site dialysis into senior care facilities that we have seen recently. Azria Health, which just bought a portfolio of 15 skilled nursing facilities in the Midwest from Senior Housing Properties Trust, also recently partnered with Concerto Renal Services to offer dialysis to its...

Spectrum Retirement Communities Gets New Investment Partner
We heard many at the NIC Conference earlier this month talking about the abundance of capital and new capital providers in the senior living market. Some were optimistic, while others were lamenting it. Well, another alternative investment management firm has entered the senior living market. Oak Brook, Illinois-based Inland Private Capital Corporation (IPC) announced it has entered into a strategic relationship with Spectrum Retirement Communities, LLC to acquire, own and manage senior living communities across the country. Phil Shapiro Senior Living, LLC serves as IPC’s senior living advisor and was key in initiating and cultivating the relationship between them and Spectrum. IPC, which... Read More »Schedule a demo
