    The bar keeps rising, and the industry continues to clear it, with a third consecutive annual record for publicly announced senior care M&A activity appearing well within reach.

Capital One Annual Survey Results

Capital One Annual Survey Results

We have been pretty gloomy about the state of the seniors housing market recently. It has not been without reason, with the industry still mired in low occupancy, persistent discounting and labor difficulties, both finding it and paying for it. On top of that, October’s low M&A count (just 24 publicly announced deals) did not make us feel any better. That was true in both the senior care sector and in health care M&A in general. At the same time, private equity capital keeps pouring into the healthcare services space (including home health care, behavioral health, physician medical groups, etc…), showing us that investors still view the industry incredibly favorably and may keep...

Five years after acquiring a 154-bed assisted living community in Park Ridge, Illinois, Cascade Capital Group (with Legacy Healthcare as its operating partner) is refinancing with the help of Capital One.
