Financing for Assisted Living Facilities

For the past 15 years, Wilshire Finance Partners has specialized in financing senior housing facilities, specifically those who own or operate, or desire to own and operate, assisted living or memory care facilities.

As a direct lender with comprehensive financing options, Wilshire offers tailored solutions for senior housing and assisted living facilities. Through our strategic relationships, we also offer permanent financing from $1 million to $50 million. If you are looking for a loan to finance the acquisition of a facility, fund renovations to enhance care levels, or refinance an existing assisted living facility, Wilshire’s entrepreneurial approach and sage advice can help you find the right solution to meet your needs.

A short-term bridge loan (or interim financing) can be a smart resource for assisted living owners and operators keen on meeting business objectives while bridging the gap to stabilization. Value-add and opportunistic acquisitions can be lucrative senior housing investments, particularly because the business model is complex and nuanced—creating a higher barrier to entry compared to other real estate asset classes. Bridge lenders like Wilshire Finance Partners can create significant value through more flexible financing solutions, helping borrowers gain the time they need to strategically reach stabilization and create more value. Although that time and flexibility does result in higher interest rates, seniors housing owners can capitalize on market opportunities with Wilshire’s fast and flexible bridge loan financing.
