The financing paid off existing bond debt that was credit-enhanced by Fannie Mae. Management Innovations, Inc. operates the community, which features private patios or decks on most units, a recreation meeting room with fireside seeting, and a food service area. Read More »

Missouri Operator Goes for Scale in SLIB Sale
A large Missouri-based skilled nursing operator just increased its scale in the region with the purchase of a 136-bed skilled nursing/assisted living facility in Pacific, Missouri. Jeff Binder and Patrick Byrne of Senior Living Investment Brokerage facilitated the transaction, generating eight offers for the facility. Originally built in 1986, the SNF portion features 120 beds and is in good condition, considering its age. A 16-unit assisted living wing was added in 2005. Operations could be improved across the board, with occupancy sitting at 80% and the operating margin just above 6% on nearly $6.6 million of revenues. Those financials do not reflect a sizeable Medicaid rate increase... Read More »

Strawberry Fields Grows in Des Plaines
Strawberry Fields REIT continues to grow its skilled nursing holdings, and did so in a big way this month, by acquiring a large 231-bed SNF in Des Plaines, Illinois. That facility has had a somewhat checkered past. Originally built in 1975, it was acquired by a Catholic not-for-profit hospital and skilled nursing provider in May 2011 for $22 million, or $115,200 per operating bed, at a 9.5% cap rate. At the time, the facility was operating at an 11% margin and with just 191 of the 231 licensed beds (about 113 of which were occupied at the time), for an effective occupancy rate of 59%. Its location close to Chicago, quality mix above 50% and specialty care services like ventilator, dialysis... Read More »
Invesque Procures Credit Facility from People’s United Bank
People’s United Bank’s Healthcare Finance and Capital Markets Divisions led the way in arranging an $80 million senior secured credit facility for Invesque, Inc. to refinance existing debt associated with four senior living communities in eastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey owned in a joint venture with Heritage Senior Living.

The largest of those deals was the REIT’s purchase of the Commonwealth Senior Living portfolio for $340.4 million, or $236,400 per unit, which... Read More »
Ohio Memory Care Community Refinances with Lancaster Pollard
Lancaster Pollard’s Brendan Healy, Doug Harper and Casey Moore helped the owner of a 64-unit memory care community in Powell, Ohio (Columbus MSA) obtain a cash-out refinance through Fannie Mae. Built in 2016 at a cost of $12.5 million, or just below $200,000 per unit, the community was developed by Eleanor Alvarez, the CEO of LeaderStat, a healthcare recruiting and consulting firm. That staffing knowledge clearly came in handy, as Ms. Alvarez is now refinancing with a $14.6 million non-recourse mortgage, featuring a fixed rate and 12-year term. With a typical 70% loan-to-value, that puts the value of the community at well over $300,000 per unit. Read More »
Philly-Area CCRC Goes from Bank to Bond Debt
Facing rising short-term interest rates, a not-for-profit CCRC in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, market turned to Ziegler to refund its existing bank debt with a tax-exempt bond issue. The community is located on a 63-acre campus about 10 miles northwest of downtown Philadelphia in the town of Gladwyne, offering 151 independent living units, 69 IL villas, 33 personal care units, 16 memory care units and 49 private skilled nursing beds. It had benefited from variable-rate debt over the last decade, investing in expansions and improvements over the years. However, when short-term rates were on the rise, but declining at the long end of the yield curve, they decided to refinance the bank... Read More »
Brookdale Activists On The Move
Brookdale Senior Living investor Land & Buildings has nominated Jonathan Litt and Jay Flaherty to Brookdale’s board. Still pushing for a REIT spin-off? He’s baaaack. After his 10-year stint as CEO of HCP, Inc., which included his ill-fated and ill-timed acquisition of the former HCR ManorCare, Jay Flaherty may be back in the senior care mix. That is, if Jonathan Litt of Land & Buildings has his way. Land & Buildings Capital Growth Fund, LP has delivered notice to Brookdale Senior Living that it is nominating Flaherty and Litt for election to the company’s board of directors. We shall see how that flies with the current Brookdale board. Our guess is that they will not go... Read More »
