However, in early 2017, Senior Assist<\/strong> met with liquidity problems<\/strong> mainly due to a heavy debt<\/strong>. The combination of debt<\/strong> and the need for fresh capital put the company in financial difficulty. Negotiations for the complete sale to Straco Group<\/strong> failed in May 2017<\/a>leading to the sale of seven nursing homes<\/strong><\/strong> to the Korion Group<\/strong>with further sales planned.<\/p>\n\n\n
