• 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 »
  • Blue Moon/StepStone Finalize Large Recapitalization

  • Evans Closes Another High-Priced SNF Sale in NV

    Just a month after selling a skilled nursing facility in Nevada for the highest per-bed value ever seen in the state, Evans Senior Investments returned to sell another facility in the Las Vegas MSA for the second-highest per-bed price. That is some momentum. Little was disclosed on the deal, but the 1970s-built facility has approximately 150... Read More »
  • Seniors Housing Communities Secure Refinances

    Berkadia recently refinanced Allegro Parkland, an independent living, assisted living and memory care community in Parkland, Florida. A joint venture between Harrison Street Asset Management and Allegro Senior Living was the borrower. The community opened in March 2020 (perhaps not the best timing) and features 61 independent living, 88 assisted... Read More »

Capital One Closes A Big One

Capital One flexed its banking muscles when it provided just over $551 million in financing to Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisors (KAREA) for its purchase of Sentio Healthcare Properties. Announced back in May, the high-profile acquisition included all 34 of Sentio’s seniors housing and medical office properties, and was valued around $825 million. To fund the deal, Capital One provided KAREA a $251 million bridge loan and a $300 million Freddie Mac seniors housing revolving credit facility. We imagine a lot of time was spent on this large, complex transaction. Well done. Another Capital One deal came across the wires, albeit a little smaller than the KAREA deal. Joshua Rosen originated a... Read More »

Capital One Provides Financing To PruittHealth

Since the start of July, Capital One has closed a flurry of deals for seniors housing and care borrowers, and has crisscrossed the country doing so. The bank has so far provided a $27.2 million HUD refinance for three skilled nursing facilities in Tennessee, a $12 million HUD loan for a Portland, Oregon-area SNF, $77.7 million in financing for a portfolio of nine Pacifica Companies-owned seniors housing communities, and a $41.1 million first mortgage, plus a $5 million senior credit facility, on behalf of Oregon-based Prestige Care to both acquire four senior care properties and refinance three others in the Pacific Northwest. The activity continued for Capital One, when it recently helped... Read More »

Capital One Closes Two-Part Financing For Prestige Care

Presitge Care killed two birds with one stone in its latest transaction with Capital One. The Oregon-based owner/operator of senior care facilities in the Pacific Northwest received a $41.1 million first mortgage from Capital One to both finance the acquisition of four seniors housing and skilled nursing facilities (which was announced last August) and refinance three of its existing facilities. Capital One also provided a $5 million senior credit facility for general corporate purposes and working capital needs. Located in Wenatchee, East Wenatchee and Ellensburg, Washington, and Nampa, Idaho, the acquired communities, which were previously owned by industry veteran Carl Campbell, were in... Read More »
Capital One Helps Refinance Pacifica Companies’ Portfolio

Capital One Helps Refinance Pacifica Companies’ Portfolio

In one of the largest financings of the July, Capital One provided a $77.7 million loan to Pacifica Companies to refinance nine seniors housing communities in Arizona, California, Florida, Oregon and Utah. The loan consists of $67.7 million in initial funding plus an earn-out feature, which is contingent on specific conditions. That gives Pacifica the opportunity to recapture additional equity as newly renovated units lease up. Read More »

Capital One Heads To HUD

The future for a 40-year old skilled nursing facility is not rosy, as we have discussed recently, and with every passing year, it becomes bleaker. These facilities face new competition in the form of short-term rehab and transitional care facilities, which feature nearly all private rooms and take a majority of the Medicare patients. And with lengths of stay decreasing, reimbursement tightening and wages increasing, an older SNF has fewer options to remain profitable while still providing quality care. There are potential solutions, however, which the experienced owner/operators of a skilled nursing facility in Gresham, Oregon (Portland MSA) are putting into practice. The 128-bed facility...
