Walker & Dunlop, Inc. announced today that it structured $13,096,000 in financing for Crown Point Health Suites, a skilled nursing facility in Lubbock, Texas, and $33,600,000 in financing for Regency Retirement Village of Huntsville, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Huntsville, Alabama.
Walker & Dunlop Managing Director, Kevin Giusti, led the origination team, which has extensive experience with senior housing and skilled nursing facilities across the country. Leveraging their knowledge of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) lending platform, the Walker & Dunlop team utilized HUD’s LEAN 232/233(f) refinance program, which provides long-term and reduced-rate financing for specialty healthcare facilities. The permanent financing will replace the existing debt previously provided by Walker & Dunlop’s bridge lending program.
“The Walker Dunlop team did it again! They continue to provide excellent customer service and work hard to understand the needs of my company so they can craft the most efficient solution,” commented Rick Stern, Partner at Regency Senior Living.
Rick Ruble, CEO of Crown Point Health Suites, further commented, “Walker & Dunlop was incredibly communicative, proactive, and efficient throughout the HUD loan process. Walker & Dunlop advocates for their clients, always problem-solving to find the quickest resolutions to get the job done.”

Crown Point Suites is family-owned and operated and provides a resort-like community to its clients, featuring private suites, numerous dining options, personal laundry service, 24-hour nursing coverage, and special daily activities. The facility currently holds a five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and has consistently maintained a top rating since its delivery.
