COAL TOWNSHIP, PA. — Lancaster Pollard has provided a $16.8 million HUD-insured loan for the refinancing of Mountain View, a 271-bed skilled nursing facility located in Central Pennsylvania’s Coal Township. The facility also includes eight independent living units. The borrower, Complete Healthcare Resources, acquired the property in 2009 and has made many improvements, including the addition of a memory care wing and improving common areas and therapy spaces. The refinancing via the HUD Section 232/223(f) program reduces overall debt service and puts in place a permanent debt structure with a fixed interest rate.
