White Oak Healthcare Finance, LLC announced it acted as sole lender and administrative agent on the funding of a $34.8 million senior credit facility to Vita Healthcare Group, LLC (Vita).  The funds were used to finance the acquisition of two skilled nursing facilities, consisting of 295 beds in Maryland.  The financing included a $31.8 million term loan and a $3.0 million working capital line of credit.

“Vita has a proven track record of identifying underperforming skilled nursing facilities that can benefit from the oversight of a smaller, regionally focused operator,” said Ross Eldridge, Managing Director at White Oak.  They have a strong culture of raising resident satisfaction and quality of care in facilities they acquire.  We are thrilled to have partnered with them and look forward to growing with them in the future.”
