EVA Care Group Refinances California Portfolio
Helios Healthcare Advisors went to a private credit fund to secure a refinance for a senior care portfolio in California. Totaling 165 beds, there is a skilled nursing facility in San Bernardino and an assisted living community in Fillmore. The communities are owned by EVA Care Group, a Los Angeles-based national healthcare organization. Both properties were previously mortgage free, creating an opportunity for EVA Care Group to unlock liquidity and strategically recapitalize the assets. EVA could have pursued a traditional working capital line, which would have introduced significant administrative burden and come with restrictive covenants that limit operator flexibility. But...

60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: You’ve Got To Be Kidding
Sadly, we are not kidding. President Trump has shown his true colors, and his true loyalty to the almighty dollar, with yet another pardon of one of the bad boys of senior care. But this bad boy is the worst of the group. We are referring to the just announced pardon of criminal Joseph Schwartz, the former owner of Skyline Health. Several months ago, after his last senior care pardon, we ended a story with, who’s next, Joseph Schwartz? We were kidding, but not laughing now. Not only did he commit a nearly $40 million fraud against us, the taxpayers, but he also put the well-being of several thousand patients in his nursing homes in jeopardy as he sucked as much cash out of them as he could...
