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.

In the years since acquiring the facility, Cascade had extensively renovated the community, which now has a five-star rating from CMS. The transaction recoups capital expenditures and partner debt, and frees up cash for Cascade to pursue other projects. 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 »

We detailed the first four in this month’s issue of The SeniorCare Investor, which will hit your desks next week.

Cascade’s building blocks

Cascade’s building blocks

New entrant Cascade Capital Group recently acquired three skilled nursing facilities in Colorado and Utah, as reported in the February issue of The SeniorCare Investor, and turned to Oxford Finance to fund it. Formed in January 2016 by the leadership team that built Illinois-based Legacy Healthcare, Cascade is a private equity firm that invests in long-term care facilities, with Legacy managing.

Cascade paid approximately $31.8 million in total for the two Utah facilities and the one Colorado facility, or about $70,000 per bed. Ryan Saul and... Read More »
