• 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 »

Tryko Partners Grows Again

Tryko Partners Grows Again

A few weeks after HCR ManorCare filed a pre-packaged bankruptcy petition, yet another one of its skilled nursing facilities has been sold. This facility is located in Yeadon, Pennsylvania, which is outside of Philadelphia, and Tryko Partners was the buyer. Built in 1995, the 129-bed facility is located adjacent to Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital, which is part of the Mercy Health System. Apparently, this was not one of the underperforming facilities operated by HCRMC, as it maintained a four-star rating from CMS and a five-star rating for quality measures. Nice to hear. Tryko’s affiliate, Marquis Health Services, will operate the facility and they expect to invest more than $2.5 million in the... Read More »

Tryko Partners Purchases Another Philly-Area SNF

New Jersey-based private equity firm Tryko Partners, just added a third Pennsylvania property to its portfolio in a deal handled by Toby Siefert and Ryan Saul of Senior Living Investment Brokerage. Located near Philadelphia, the 129-bed skilled nursing facility was built in 1995 but recently received $1 million in capital improvements while under management by a national operator.

Like in all of its senior care transactions, Tryko will have its in-house operating company, Marquis Health Services, manage the... Read More »
