Assisted Living & Residential Care

A care home is a business. We finance it like one.

Most lenders see a house and stop. We finance licensed assisted living and residential care facilities — purchase, refinance, and cash-out:

Underwriters can’t decide what it is.

A licensed care facility is a business operating inside a home. Residential underwriting misses the operation; commercial underwriting sees a house on a normal street. The file bounces between desks until the contract expires, or the owner takes hard money just to close. That gap is exactly what we finance.

01
The program

Built for licensed care facilities.

Purchase the building you lease, refinance out of hard money, or pull cash out to add beds or acquire the next facility. We underwrite the asset for what it actually is — a licensed, operating care business — not a mismatched residential file.

  • Up to $3MM loan amounts
  • Up to 65% LTV
  • Rates from 7.25%
  • Purchase, rate-and-term refinance, and cash-out
  • Nationwide, with RCFE financing available in California
02
Why it’s hard elsewhere

The deals other lenders can’t categorize.

It isn’t a credit problem — it’s a category problem. Conventional guidelines have no box for a licensed operation inside a residential structure, so strong, occupied, well-run facilities get declined by lenders who simply have no product for them.

  • Residential underwriting misses the care operation
  • The licensed use falls outside standard guidelines
  • Facility revenue doesn’t fit conventional documentation
  • SBA can work — but often outlasts the purchase contract
03
Who it’s for

Owners and operators of licensed facilities.

Whether you’re buying the facility you currently run, refinancing out of expensive short-term debt, or expanding to your next location, there’s likely a path that fits.

  • Operators buying the facility they lease
  • Owners refinancing out of hard money or a maturing loan
  • Buyers who need to close faster than SBA allows
  • Established operators expanding to another facility
