Financing for the “new-normal”

A health complex in West Hartford that had never fully recovered from the losses in reimbursements and operating income incurred during the Great Recession, and from larger healthcare systems in the area, was faced with a dilemma: how do you deal with this “new normal” of operating and reimbursement parameters while still servicing its debt? Hebrew Home and Hospital, Inc. (HHH) is the not-for-profit owner of a 367-bed health campus in West Hartford, Connecticut, which features 277 skilled nursing beds, 45 beds providing hospital-level services, a 22-bed behavioral health unit and a 23-bed complex medical unit.

HJ Sims executes $22.5 million refinance

A CCRC in Annapolis, Maryland with a securitized $17 million mortgage that did not allow a prepayment (current balance was down to $15 million) secured a bank refinance with the help of HJ Sims. The CCRC already had a history with HJ Sims, having received a $48 million construction loan and $8.4 million of development capital from them in 2001 and the $17 million mortgage in 2005. Because this mortgage was due on January 1, 2016, the CCRC had to defease the existing mortgage by escrowing all future principal and interest payments, thereby creating negative arbitrage. Plus, the CCRC had been servicing an outstanding subordinate loan from the original developers ($300,000 of which was... Read More »

In Connecticut, you cannot move skilled nursing beds unless they are in the new “household” format, where you have groups of 14 private rooms in an area that all share a kitchen and other common areas (known also around the country as Green House Communities). Plus, the new SNFs can only have a maximum of 280 beds. So, in April 2014, JSS broke ground on a... Read More »
