Chartwell Retirement Residents announced last week it will transition 16 of its Ontario long-term care homes, totaling 2,418 beds, to AgeCare Health Services and Axium Infrastructure Inc. for $446.5 million.
The deal equates to $358,456,029.93 in American currency.
Chartwell’s management platform, which serves these 16 homes and another six homes with 866 beds, will be transitioned to AgeCare as well.
AgeCare and Axium will also acquire, under a forward purchase agreement, another Ontario LTC home with 224 beds, upon completion of its development in 2023, according to the news release.
Chartwell expects its net proceeds after expenses, debt repayments and other costs to be approximately $277 million.
“Substantial growth in our retirement portfolio over the years resulted in our Ontario long-term care operations comprising less than 10% of our business. As we made the strategic decision to focus on our growing retirement business, it was critical for us to partner with strong and reputable organizations which hold similar values, to ensure a smooth transition for our residents and employees,” Vlad Volodarski, Chartwell’s Chief Executive Officer, said in a news release.
Preston Hollow Community Capital Gets $78M For New SNF
Dallas-based Preston Hollow Community Capital announced it completed a $78 million tax-exempt bond transaction for a new skilled nursing facility in Bismarck, N.D.
Missouri Slope Lutheran Care Center is the borrower and the bonds were issued through Burleigh County.

CIBC Bank Closes on 3 SNFs
CIBC Bank USA closed on a $1.5 million revolving line of credit in February that will provide working capital to support the acquisition of three skilled nursing facilities in Texas totaling 316 beds.

The homes performed with strong operating margins and census between 55-60% throughout 2020 and 2021, according to the news release.

Ascension Illinois Rebrands Under Ascension Name

One of the largest health systems in the state – with 14 hospitals and more than 150 care sites previously identified as Alexian Brothers Health System and Presence Health – launched the new marketing and advertising campaign to introduce Ascension Illinois to the area.
Ascension hopes consistent naming across its geographical footprint will make it easier for people to get the care they need, when and where they need it and, in the way, most convenient for them, according to a news release.
“Working together as part of Ascension will allow Ascension Illinois to bring the knowledge and resources of thousands of medical professionals across the country to our own physicians and caregivers in order to improve care,” Keith Parrott, Ascension Illinois Ministry Market Executive, said in the news release.
