Five years after acquiring a 97-bed skilled nursing facility in Easton, Pennsylvania, Tryko Partners is turning to Housing & Healthcare Finance (HHC Finance) to refinance it through HUD.

40-Year Old SNFs: Obsolete or an Opportunity?

40-Year Old SNFs: Obsolete or an Opportunity?

The aging of the skilled nursing industry is becoming a growing concern for investors in that space. Facilities built 40 years ago and over comprise a significant portion of the skilled nursing beds in the country, and many believe they are outdated and would require too much capex to modernize and attract the Medicare and private pay populations. Nevertheless, plenty of buyers still see opportunity. But what do they see that others don’t? That is the question we tried to answer in our webinar entitled, “The 40-Year Old SNF: Part II,” a sequel to our 2016 discussion. Our Editor, Steve Monroe, was the moderator, joined by Alan Plush of HealthTrust, Chad Buchanan of Tryko Partners and Andrew... Read More »
