The Saga of Genesis HealthCare Continues
Genesis HealthCare was once one of the largest and most successful skilled nursing companies. But it grew too quickly, made some bad investments over the years (did we mention the billion-dollar merger with The MultiCare Companies?), and it always played the leverage game, whether with leases or debt, and usually both. Last summer, it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for the second time, and in 2021 it came close to filing but got bailed out with a lease restructuring and a $100 million investment. It may have been better off with a BK filing five years ago. Instead, it seemed to put off the inevitable. Nearly two months ago, Pima Capital Partners appeared to be the winning... Read More »
