Adult Care Facility Loans in California

Image by Sam

Running or acquiring an adult care facility is a business — and it needs real financing.

Banks don't understand this space.
They see a residential property with a commercial use and they freeze.
We see a cash-flowing business with real estate as collateral.
That's a completely different lens.

What is an Adult Care Facility Loan?

It's a private money loan secured by the real estate of a licensed adult care facility — including:

  • Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE)

  • Board and Care Homes

  • Assisted Living Facilities

  • Adult Day Care Centers

  • Memory Care Facilities

Whether you're buying, refinancing, or pulling cash out — we can structure a loan around the property and the business.

When do you need this type of loan?

  • Purchasing a licensed facility before a conventional loan is ready

  • Refinancing out of a hard money loan

  • Accessing equity to expand or upgrade the facility

  • Bridge financing while you complete your licensing

  • Buying the real estate separately from the business

Why banks say no:

Banks struggle with adult care facilities for several reasons:

  • Mixed residential/commercial use confuses their underwriting

  • Licensing requirements add complexity

  • They want stabilized occupancy before lending

  • They don't move fast enough for time-sensitive acquisitions

We don't have those problems.


We lend on the property value and the deal — not the bureaucracy.

What we look at:

  • Property address and value

  • Current licensing status

  • Your exit strategy

  • Timeline

No tax returns required for most programs.
No income verification.
Asset-based lending — the property is the collateral.

Loan terms:

  • Short-term bridge loans — 12 months with extension options

  • Fast closings — 7 to 10 business days

  • 1st and 2nd trust deed positions available
