HJ Sims Refinances Benedictine Health System

HJ Sims Refinances Benedictine Health System

Benedictine Health System, a Minnesota-based not-for-profit organization affiliated with the Catholic church, recently obtained $132.4 million in financing arranged by HJ Sims. Historically, the organization and its affiliates were financed on a standalone basis, resulting in 36 separate series of outstanding debt for 19 different borrowers.

Minnesota Assisted Living Community Gets A New Neighbor

Minnesota Assisted Living Community Gets A New Neighbor

In a deal that was anything but ordinary, Ray Giannini of Marcus & Millichap sold an assisted living community plus an adjacent vacant skilled nursing facility in Owatonna, Minnesota for about $2.95 million, or $59,100 per unit.

Since it was county-owned, we imagine there is a lot of room for improvement in controlling expenses. However, at the SNF, BHS had gradually transferred the beds out of the 1970s-era... Read More »

They were not well-occupied, at just 50.5% and 64%, and cash flow was also limited. Monarch Healthcare Management purchased the facilities from Benedictine Health System for $6.5 million, or $37,600 per bed. Read More »
