Transactions and Fundings: Covenant Living Acquires CCRC from Bankruptcy; Legacy Senior Living is growing

The US New Hampshire District Bankruptcy Court has approved Covenant Living’s purchase of Hillside Village Keene, a continuing care retirement community in Keene, New Hampshire.

Hillside Village becomes the 15th CCRC that Covenant – a nonprofit organization based in Skokie, Ill. – owns and operates.

Following significant occupancy issues due to the Covid pandemic, Hillside finally filed for bankruptcy in August 2021. Covenant has placed a stalking horse bid of $ 33 million.

Hillside Village has more than 200 independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing units.

“This acquisition strengthens our presence in the North East and fits well into our overall strategic plan for organizational growth,” said Terri Cunliffe, President and CEO of Covenant Living, in a press release. “The addition of Hillside Village allows us to serve even more older adults in this area. We currently have a community located in Cromwell, Connecticut.

Sales and transitions

SweetBriar Assisted Living, a retirement home in West Virginia, sold for $ 7.125 million, according to a statement.

The community of 65 assisted living and memory care units has fallen to 69% occupancy following an admission ban due to the Covid pandemic. SweetBriar raised that figure to 87% upon sale to a regional owner / operator to enter West Virginia.

Evans Senior Investments facilitated the sale for a local owner / operator looking to move out of the senior housing space.
