• 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... Read More »

White Oak Healthcare Finance Buys $700 Million In Senior Care Loans

White Oak Healthcare Finance Buys $700 Million In Senior Care Loans

White Oak Healthcare Finance is aggressively growing its presence in the senior care lender market and purchased a portfolio of 12 skilled nursing and seniors housing loans from Capital One and its participant banks. Financial terms were not disclosed, but the loans totaled approximately $700 million and helped Capital One reduce its skilled nursing exposure. So, it was a win-win for both parties. Capital One also provided debt financing for White Oak to fund the transaction. This isn’t White Oak’s first big wave in the senior care lending market. Last month, the company served as administrative agent and lead lender on the funding of a $190 million senior credit facility of 17 skilled... Read More »
High-Quality SNF Refinances With Capital One

High-Quality SNF Refinances With Capital One

Joshua Rosen of Capital One followed up on his HUD refinance of a supportive living facility in Chicagoland last week with another permanent financing in the Old Northwest, this time for a 124-bed skilled nursing facility in Romeo, Michigan (Detroit MSA). Built in 2014, this facility is not your traditional SNF. It features a high proportion of private suites (although all rooms come with a full bathroom), large, modern therapy spaces catering to Medicare and Managed Care residents, plenty of common areas and a bistro. It was developed by a repeat Capital One client. To refinance existing bank debt as well as partnership debt, Capital One provided a $17.1 million HUD loan, with a 35-year... Read More »
Capital One Refinances Illinois Supportive Living Facility

Capital One Refinances Illinois Supportive Living Facility

Joshua Rosen of Capital One successfully refinanced a large supportive living facility in Des Plaines, Illinois (Chicago MSA). Originally built in 1967 as an independent/supportive living facility, its owners decided to upgrade the independent living portion to assisted living in 2015. They then built a 71-bed skilled nursing wing in 2018, adding to the existing 162 AL and 150 supportive living units. The refinance wasn’t straightforward, as part of the property was in a floodway. But Mr. Rosen identified an opportunity to legally change the survey plat to carve out a floodway, enabling the refinance to continue. The borrower, a repeat Capital One customer, received a $28.4 million HUD... Read More »
Capital One Refinances Massachusetts Skilled Nursing Portfolio

Capital One Refinances Massachusetts Skilled Nursing Portfolio

Just 18 months after they were purchased, three skilled nursing facilities in Massachusetts refinanced through HUD, with the help of Joshua Rosen of Capital One. The 2016 transaction involved these three facilities in Chelsea (195 beds), Fall River (152 beds) and Brockton (169 beds). There was a fourth facility involved in the sale that is not being refinanced in this transaction. Two principals who are experienced owner/operators of SNFs mainly in the Midwest ended up as the buyers, financing that deal with bank debt. Now, through Capital One, they received three fixed-rate loans, each with a 35-year term, totaling $47.2 million through HUD to refinance the portfolio. Read More »
