Genesis HealthCare Divests Vintage Park Assisted Living Properties In Kansas
KENNETT SQUARE, Pa., Jan. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Genesis HealthCare (Genesis), one of the nation's largest providers of post-acute care, today announced that, effective January 1, 2016, it has divested of its eighteen (18) Vintage Park Assisted Living assets located in Kansas.
Genesis used the sale proceeds to repay $54.2 million of its existing real estate bridge loan with Welltower, Inc. with residual proceeds used to repay other indebtedness.
"Genesis acquired the Vintage Park Assisted Living assets in conjunction with the February 2015 Skilled Healthcare transaction," stated George V. Hager, Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Genesis. "Assisted living has never been our core competency and we believe we can better allocate the capital by delevering our balance sheet."
The 18 Vintage Park Assisted Living assets have 807 beds and employ approximately 372 full and part-time employees. Aggregate revenue and EBITDAR totaled approximately $22.7 million and $6.5 million, respectively, in 2014.
