The skilled nursing world has seen its share of bankruptcies over the last few years, and this past week a vendor with a heavy concentration in the space blamed the industry’s woes for its own filing. Joerns, a private-equity owned company that makes medical equipment, began Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings late last month, citing post-acute […]
The recent bullish performance of publicly traded real estate investment trusts (REITs) could have a virtuous cycle effect in the space, potentially boosting mergers-and-acquisitions activity in the skilled nursing and broader health care industries. That’s the thesis of Alex Pettee and Hoya Capital Real Estate, a Connecticut-based investment advisory firm that on Monday published a […]

We’ve made it to the end of 2018, which will likely go down as one of the most eventful years in the history of the long-term and post-acute care industry.

Leaders at two major real estate investment trusts (REITs) focused on health care assets have predicted a coming wave of mergers-and-acquisitions volume as smaller providers refuse to adapt to new skilled nursing payment rules.

Orianna Health Systems fired back at landlord Omega Healthcare Investors (NYSE: OHI), claiming that the real estate investment trust’s (REIT) decision to terminate a restructuring deal will prove detrimental to both parties. “Orianna is disappointed by Omega’s actions, which we believe will only cause delay in finalizing Orianna’s reorganization and impair the recovery ultimately realized […]

Lawyers for Orianna Health Systems last week asked a federal court to include landlord Omega Healthcare Investors (NYSE: OHI) and various other parties in a blanket protection against lawsuits during its bankruptcy proceedings.

The recent bankruptcies of the HCR ManorCare and Orianna skilled nursing chains seemed to validate an industry-wide opinion that the future belongs to the smaller, regional operator.
