Ratings Outlooks
Fitch affirms ratings outlooks on 3 CCRCs
Fitch Ratings affirmed the ratings on the following CCRCs:
- Fitch affirmed the “A” issuer default rating for Lasell Village in Auburndale, Massachusetts. Key rating drivers include a strong financial profile supported by robust liquidity, solid operations, and steady occupancy levels. Lasell Village had $48.5 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand as of the end of its fiscal year on June 30, translating into 1,020 days cash on hand and 332.4% cash to debt, both of which exceed Fitch’s ‘A’ category medians of 649 DCOH and 129.2%. This provides a financial cushion that enables it to absorb operating pressures associated with the current coronavirus pandemic, as well as mitigates risks given Lasel Village’s position as a relatively small, single-site provider. The rating outlook was upgraded from stable to positive.
- Fitch assigned a ‘BBB-‘ rating on $95.1 million in Series 2020A senior living revenue bonds expected to be issued by The Industrial Development Authority of the City of Glendale, Arizona, on behalf of Royal Oaks Life Care Community in Sun City, Arizona. Additionally, Fitch downgraded the rating assigned to the Series 2016 bonds to “BBB-” from “A.” The series 2016 bonds have been removed from rating watch negative. The rating outlook is stable. Key rating drivers inclure increased long-term permanent debt that Royal Oaks will incur for its large-scale expansion project.
- Fitch affirmed the “BBB+” rating on $88.5 million in Series 2019A, 2019B, 2013A and 2013B revenue bond issued by the Wisconsin Public Finance Authority on behalf of Fellowship Senior Living. The rating outlook is negative, which reflects higher execution risk as the provider continues to rebuild its independent living occupancy after a large construction project in the center of its Basking Ridge, New Jersey campus.
