Tarrant County Senior Living Center Inc.

November 5, 2019

Callback to earlier this year, in February, when we reported on the chapter 11 bankruptcy filing of SQLC Senior Living Center at Corpus Christi Inc. (d/b/a Mirador). Mirador — a Texas nonprofit — owned and operated a 228-unit CCRC, comprised of 125 independent living residences, 44 assisted living residences, 18 memory care residences, and 4 skilled nursing residences. It filed for bankruptcy because, among other things, it didn’t have the occupancy level — and, by extension, revenue — to satisfy its debts (owed to UMB Bank NA and others). The company used the bankruptcy process to effectuate a sale pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 363.

We concluded our review of the situation as follows:

One last point here: considering that we now have two CCRC bankruptcies in the last two weeks and both are operated by SQLC, we’d be remiss if we didn’t highlight that SQLC also operates four other CCRCs: (a) Northwest Senior Housing Corporation d/b/a Edgemere; (b) Buckingham Senior Living Community, Inc. d/b/a The Buckingham; (c) Barton Creek Senior Living Center, Inc. d/b/a Querencia at Barton Creek; and (d) Tarrant County Senior Living Center, Inc. d/b/a The Stayton at Museum Way. With 33% of its CCRCs currently in BK, it seems that — for the restructuring professionals among you — these other SQLC facilities may be worth a quick look/inquiry.

You’re welcome. We called that from 9 months away.

Forth Worth Texas-based Tarrant County Senior Living Center Inc. filed a prepackaged bankruptcy case in the Northern District of Texas. The not-for-profit corporation has 188 independent living apartment-style residences, 42 residential-style assisted living suites, 20 memory support assist living suites and a skilled nursing facility with 46 beds. The facility is nearly completely occupied across the board with the weakest link being the independent living segment at 6.4% vacancy.

Pursuant to the Plan, only the holders of bond claims are impaired and entitled to vote. In other words, the bonds will take a haircut — and they’ve overwhelmingly voted in favor of said haircut — while general unsecured claimants and executory contract counter-parties ride through as if nothing even happened.

Nana won’t even notice this sucker filed for bankruptcy.
