Transaction marks the first deal closed with the former Equity Partners team at SC&H Capital
SC&H Capital, a leading investment bank specializing in M&A advisory, is pleased to announce that its client, Bell Mountain Village and Care Center, has completed a going concern sale of its assisted living and skilled nursing facility to Cascadia Real Estate, LLC (“Cascadia”). Cascadia’s parent company, Cascadia Healthcare, is one of the largest owner/operators of skilled nursing facilities in the state of Idaho.
Bell Mountain Village and Care Center offers both Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing services and maintains a high staff-to-resident ratio with excellent therapy programs for physical, occupational and speech, including recreation therapy, and also offers out-patient therapy services.
Ken Mann, Managing Director of SC&H Capital’s Distressed M&A Services team noted “This healthcare M&A transaction is a great start for us as part of SC&H Capital. We are seeing a large number of clinical healthcare operators struggling through workouts and bankruptcies and we are confident that SC&H Capital’s historical experience in the healthcare sector and our experience in the distressed markets combine to give our clients and referral sources a very unique option when they need to refinance or sell a business.”
Hank Waida, Principal at SC&H Capital, said, “This was an extremely complicated engagement with numerous variables and requirements which needed to be met to satisfy the numerous constituents involved. We are pleased to have negotiated a solution with all parties to get this deal completed.”
