Summary
Sonida Senior Living refinanced and substantially expanded its Ally Bank term loan, increasing the facility from $122 million outstanding to $380 million. The new loan provides an initial $372.5 million advance secured by 28 communities—19 from the existing facility plus 9 communities acquired in the March 2026 merger with CNL Healthcare Properties.
An additional $7.5 million becomes available upon meeting debt yield and debt service coverage requirements. The loan is priced at one-month SOFR plus 1.85% with interest-only payments for the initial 5-year term, and includes two optional 12-month extensions that could push maturity to 2033.
The refinancing extends the maturity profile by roughly three years (from August 2028 to August 2031 base case) and provides significant incremental liquidity. The company paid a 0.75% closing fee ($2.85 million). For a senior living operator that recently completed a merger, the ability to consolidate newly acquired properties into the collateral pool and access additional capital on stated terms supports operational flexibility and integration efforts.
