Omega Healthcare Announces Plan for Haven Facilities
Omega Healthcare Announces Plan for Haven FacilitiesTIMONIUM, Md.MD-OMEGA-HEALTHCARE
TIMONIUM, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (NYSE:OHI) today announced that as a result of the termination of a third party's agreement to acquire substantially all the assets of Haven Eldercare, LLC out of bankruptcy, Omega and an experienced nursing home management team have formed a new company to operate the 15 Haven facilities located on real estate owned by Omega. The transition to the new operating management team is subject to approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, which has jurisdiction over Haven's assets. Omega expects the Court to approve the new management team taking control based on Omega's rights as a lessor and a secured creditor under existing agreements.

'Given the termination of a third party purchaser's agreement to acquire the assets of Haven out of bankruptcy, Omega worked swiftly and diligently to retain an excellent and qualified team ready to assume management of the facilities,' according to C. Taylor Pickett, Chief Executive Officer of Omega.


The team will be led by Timothy Coburn. Tim has been in health care facility management for 30 years as a senior member of several national health care companies providing successful oversight to skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, sub-acute care facilities including traumatic brain injury facilities and independent living communities around the country. Over the past six years he has been utilized as a manager of distressed health care properties on behalf of the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts and the State of Connecticut Superior Courts, as well as private investors. He was appointed Patient Care Officer by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Haven bankruptcy in November of 2007 and is a licensed Nursing Home Administrator in Connecticut and Massachusetts.

'Omega plans to provide both working capital and capital expenditure credit facilities to the new provider so that the caregivers in these facilities can continue doing what they do best and that is providing quality care for the residents of these facilities,' continued Mr. Pickett.

'Since the Haven situation has been rapidly evolving, we have not completed our assessment of the financial impact of these actions,' continued Mr. Pickett. 'We expect to be in a position to provide an overview of the financial impact in connection with our second quarter earnings announcement.'

Omega is a real estate investment trust investing in and providing financing to the long-term care industry. At March 31, 2008, Omega owned or held mortgages on 235 healthcare facilities located in 28 states and operated by 26 third-party healthcare operating companies.

I write a leave a response when I appreciate a article on a website
or if I have something to contribute to the conversation. It's caused by the passion displayed in the article I read. And on this post "C. Taylor Pickett, Chief Executive Officer of Omega.,". I was moved enough to drop a thought :) I actually do have a few questions for you if it's okay.
Is it only me or do a few of these comments appear like written by brain dead individuals?
