Ziegler Update 2024

Who is Ziegler?

Ziegler is a privately held investment bank that specializes in the healthcare, senior living, and education sectors as well as general municipal and structured finance, which enables us to generate a positive impact on the communities we serve. Headquartered in Chicago with regional and branch offices throughout the U.S., Ziegler provides its clients with capital raising, strategic advisory services (including mergers & acquisitions), equity and fixed income sales & trading and research. Our three core divisions – investment banking, capital markets, and proprietary investments – deliver an integrated approach with a focus on collaboration, innovation, and analytics.

Ziegler believes our platform is unparalleled in the senior living sector and is a main factor leading to us being the nation’s leading underwriter of bond financings and provider of capital to not-for-profit senior living providers, having closed 908 financings totaling over $36.7 billion over the past 15-years. Ziegler has been a supporter of MCSA for over 20 years and served Masonic organizations such as Masonic Homes of Kentucky and Masonicare.

How Can Ziegler Help?

Unlike other firms that have healthcare “departments,” the majority of professional and financial resources of Ziegler are committed to the healthcare industry. This specialization in healthcare finance includes not only our investment banking and analytical support teams, but also Ziegler’s sales and trading staff, who focus on senior living and healthcare debt securities. We also provides merger and acquisition advisory services for both senior living and healthcare clients. In 1970, we formed Ziegler Financing Corporation (“ZFC”) a licensed HUD servicer to assist our clients access to low-cost federal loan programs for senior living projects

Who is Senior Helpers?

We are pleased to be a partner of Masonic Homes to provide in-home care for this vast community of Master Masons, Wives, and Widows.

How Can They Help?

Receiving extra support at home for yourself or a loved one is of utmost importance. Sometimes, a physician may advise specific support services at home following a fall, surgery, or illness. Sometimes, the need for in-home care may be obvious. Recognizing the right time to obtain additional support at home can significantly benefit both the patient and the caregiver, offering safety, convenience, and peace of mind. In this journey, Senior Helpers is here to provide the support and guidance you need, making what may feel like an overwhelming process more manageable.

White Papers

Care Purchasing Services offers experience and expertise in a variety of subject areas. One way we share that with our partners is via white papers. Our most recent white paper is on master planning for the long-term success of a community.

This 3-step process helps ensure long-term viability and market position. Every senior living community reaches a point in its life cycle at which it could start to decline. This can sometimes be as soon as 10 years after opening. Capital improvements must be made to sustain the community’s appeal and viability.

Master planning can help your community attract a new generation of residents and ensure its continued relevance in the marketplace.

Built on the goals identified in the strategic planning process, master planning takes a high-level look at the senior living community to provide a long-term vision for capital improvements. During the master planning process, stakeholders participate in guided planning sessions, robust discussions and group collaboration to plan for the future.

The white paper, “Master Planning: Essential Roadmap for Senior Living Communities,” will help owners and board members develop a deliberate, thoughtful, systematic, and financially prudent approach to solutions to maintain market position.

Download the white paper now to help prepare for the future and ensure the continued success of your senior living community!
