Senior housing capital · Nationwide
Senior housing and assisted living financing. Underwriting both real estate and operating performance.
Senior housing financing requires a clear understanding of the property, operator and resident-care business. MDN Capital Consulting evaluates potential debt structures for qualified assisted living, memory care and independent living assets across the United States.
Financing overview
A specialized asset with real estate and operating considerations.
Unlike many standard commercial properties, senior living assets depend heavily on care level, licensing, staffing, resident retention and management quality. Lenders typically evaluate historical net operating performance together with occupancy trends, unit mix, reimbursement exposure where relevant and near-term capital requirements.
Acquisition financing may focus on a proven operator and stabilized occupancy. Transitional capital may support lease-up, upgrades or an operational turnaround, but execution generally requires stronger reporting and a supportable path to stable earnings.
For broader parameters, review MDN Capital's commercial loan criteria, or submit a financing request for a transaction-specific review.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to common financing questions.
General information only. Terms depend on lender approval and individual circumstances; legal and tax matters require qualified advisers.
How is assisted living financing different from multifamily financing?
Lenders often examine resident services, staffing, licenses and operator capability, not just rent rolls and building value.
Can a facility with low occupancy receive bridge financing?
Possibly. The ramp-up plan, operating losses, sponsor capacity and available reserves become especially important.
Do lenders require operating statements?
Most will request historical financials and current operating metrics alongside property-level information.
Can renovations or expansion be financed?
Potentially, depending on project budget, approvals, collateral and the lender’s appetite for construction or transitional risk.
What information should I provide?
Include facility address, licensed beds and units, occupancy, recent financials, operator background, debt, valuation and financing request.
