Methodist Retirement Communities Gets Funding, Starts Expansion Project
Methodist Retirement Communities (MRC) of The Woodlands, in Texas, has secured initial temporary financing enabling it to move ahead with an expansion project at The Crossings, its newest CCRC.
The organization was able to secure $7.6 million in bond anticipation notes (BANS) funding as pre-finance capital, allowing the community to begin pre-marketing efforts and also to move forward with architectural renderings, interior designs, and other development activities. Repayment is targeted for completion in 2014’s third quarter, based on pre-sales of the community’s independent living units.
In June, MRC entered an agreement with the Florida-based Regency Realty Group, Inc. to buy an 18.81 acre site in Galveston, County, Tex. Construction on the community is expected to begin by the end of 2014, with plans calling for 108 independent or residential apartment homes, 36 assisted living apartments, 24 memory support suites, 20 short-term rehabilitation units, and 28 skilled nursing units.

Dialysis Center Opens in County Nursing Home in Ohio
The Ashtabula County Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Kingsville, Ohio recently opened a new dialysis center, reports the Star Beacon, open to both residents and nonresidents.
The DaVita center needs to get a random inspection before being able to begin full-time operation, expected to take place in the next six weeks.
A dialysis company is leasing space from Ashtabula County to provide the dialysis service, and the lease will provide income for the county-run nursing home. Another benefit is that the center may attract more residents to the facility, and a member of the nursing home management team believes it could become a marketing tool.
That could be especially significant, as Generations Healthcare, which manages the nursing home for the county, is forecasting 2013’s financial performance to mirror 2012’s break-even scenario.
