Live Oak Bank Comes Alive In Seniors Housing Lending

After launching its senior care lending division and hiring Adam Sherman (most recently of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors and before that of RED Capital Group) as the new division’s industry expert late last year, Live Oak Bank just provided its first loan to a seniors housing property.
