RED Capital Partners, LLC, the proprietary debt and equity banking arm of comprehensive capital provider RED Capital Group, LLC, recently completed a $12.7 million Balance Sheet acquisition loan to Birchwood Health Care Properties for the acquisition of four skilled nursing facilities in Oklahoma. RED provided a high-leverage bridge-to-HUD loan in this unique transaction. A mezzanine lender provided additional proceeds used towards the acquisition of the facilities, as well as a hospice care and home health company, in a related transaction. These ancillary businesses also provided credit support for RED’s acquisition loan.

The Oklahoma portfolio is comprised of four skilled nursing facilities, totaling 361 beds, located in Muskogee and McAlester, OK. Transition Health Services, will operate the facilities and ancillary businesses. As a result of Birchwood’s and Transition’s strong industry experience, and despite a challenging reimbursement and fiscal environment, RED was able to provide substantial loan proceeds at a very competitive spread.

Under new ownership, the facilities are poised to become market leaders. The facilities will undergo important changes that will not only enhance patient care, but allow them to address the community’s critical need for facilities servicing a higher acuity population.

Isaac Dole, CEO of Birchwood Healthcare Partners, stated, “This was a very unique transaction and RED crafted a creative solution and delivered excellent execution to meet our June 30 deadline. We appreciate their commitment to the transaction and Birchwood.”

Kathryn Burton Gray, Senior Managing Director for RED, said, “We are thrilled to be working with Birchwood Health Care Properties. RED looks forward to building on its relationship and to financing their continued growth.”

James Scribner, Managing Director for RED, said, “Birchwood and Transition will bring an institutional quality approach to the care and services provided. RED is excited to have provided such a creative solution and Birchwood’s largest loan to date.”
