HJ Sims Refinances Two Senior Care Communities
HJ Sims closed a small loan for a seniors housing community in Kansas City, Missouri, and provided ownership with about $61,000 in annual debt service savings as a result. The 81-unit community caters to low-income seniors and was in need of some repairs. Also, real estate taxes had recently been imposed on the property, meaning that ownership had to buoy its finances (which was fixed by the Section 8 revenue) quickly in order to maintain a 1.05x debt service coverage that was required for not-for-profit borrowers.

HJ Sims Secures Financing For CCRC Expansion
We mentioned last week that the lending market for not-for-profit CCRCs has been quite active, particularly to fund expansion projects, and another one was announced by HJ Sims.

HJ Sims Finds Bank Financing for Philly CCRC
Working on behalf of a large CCRC in northeast Philadelphia, HJ Sims helped arrange a bank financing through the community’s existing banking partner. Philadelphia Protestant Home (PPH) currently consists of 266 independent living units, 175 personal care units and a 126-bed skilled nursing facility. Ownership had been funding capital improvements from general fund revenues, but in order to manage its cash flow, it chose to finance $6.5 million of upcoming capex projects. So HJ Sims worked with Citizens Bank, the community’s existing banking partner, to secure a $6.5 million loan with a 10-year, fully amortizing term and a five-year interest-only period that is followed by monthly...
