These figures are computed from the SBA's public 7(a) and 504 funded-loan records for Assisted Living and Continuing Care (NAICS 6233). They cover funded loans, not applications, so a lender's activity here is a track-record signal — not a guarantee you will be approved. Of these, 22% are 504 loans (owner-occupied real estate and long-term equipment), which is why average loan sizes here run large. Among the 7(a) loans, the charge-off rate is 1.1% — a relative track-record signal, not a lifetime default rate (504 charge-offs are not reported in the SBA data); see our methodology.

Top SBA lenders in Health Care and Social Assistance, the sector that includes assisted living facilities
Ranked by SBA loans funded across Health Care and Social Assistance (NAICS 62), the full sector that contains Assisted Living and Continuing Care (NAICS 6233). The sector is broader than assisted living facilities alone, and sector level is the granularity our per-lender track-record data supports, so every figure below, including the 7(a) charge-off rate, is sector-wide, not specific to assisted living facilities. Charge-off is reported on 7(a) loans, never on 504 loans, so a lender without a reliable 7(a) sample in the sector shows “not reported,” never 0%. A lender active in your situation is a good place to start; talk to a few before you apply.
