NEW YORK — Berkadia Commercial Mortgage has arranged $43.9 million for two skilled nursing facilities in New York. Jay Healy of Berkadia’s Seniors Housing and Healthcare group worked with the owner of both properties to secure the fixed-rate financing.

In addition, Healy facilitated a note modification through HUD for a five-story building in Dutchess County, which consists of 160 beds.
