Understanding the Inspired Healthcare Capital Holdings, LLC Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Filing
Table of Contents
On February 2, 2026, Inspired Healthcare Capital Holdings, LLC, along with more than 160 affiliated entities, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas under Case # 26-90004, presided over by Judge Mark X. Mullin. This sweeping bankruptcy filing represents one of the most significant collapses in the healthcare real estate investment sector in recent years, affecting thousands of investors nationwide who placed their trust—and their retirement savings—into what they believed were stable, income-generating healthcare and senior living real estate investments.
For investors who purchased interests in Inspired Healthcare Capital’s various investment products, including Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs), income funds, development funds, and limited partnership interests, this bankruptcy filing raises urgent questions about the safety of their principal investment, the continuation of monthly distributions, and their legal rights to pursue recovery outside of the bankruptcy process.
The Inspired Healthcare Capital Investment Product Portfolio: What Investors Need to Know
Inspired Healthcare Capital marketed and sold a complex array of investment products to retail investors, often through registered representatives at broker-dealer firms across the country. These investment offerings were typically structured as alternative investments in the healthcare and senior living real estate sector, promising attractive yields, tax advantages, and the stability of investing in an aging demographic’s housing needs. However, the bankruptcy filing has exposed the significant risks inherent in these products.
Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) – Senior Living Properties Nationwide
A substantial portion of Inspired Healthcare Capital’s investment offerings consisted of Delaware Statutory Trusts, a popular investment vehicle often marketed to investors seeking to defer capital gains taxes through 1031 exchanges or those looking for passive real estate income. DSTs allow multiple investors to hold fractional ownership interests in institutional-grade real estate without the management responsibilities of direct property ownership.
The bankruptcy filing includes dozens of DST entities tied to specific senior living facilities across the United States, including:
- Inspired Senior Living of Appleton DST (Wisconsin)
- Inspired Senior Living of Arlington Heights DST (Illinois)
- Inspired Senior Living of Athens DST (Georgia)
- Inspired Senior Living of Augusta DST (Georgia)
- Inspired Senior Living of Brookhaven DST (Georgia)
- Inspired Senior Living of Carson Valley DST (Nevada)
- Inspired Senior Living of Chesterfield DST (Michigan)
- Inspired Senior Living of Dartmouth DST (Massachusetts)
- Inspired Senior Living of Delray Beach DST (Florida)
- Inspired Senior Living of Dunedin DST (Florida)
- Inspired Senior Living of Eatonton DST (Georgia)
- Inspired Senior Living of Eugene DST (Oregon)
- Inspired Senior Living of Fort Myers DST (Florida)
- Inspired Senior Living of Grapevine DST (Texas)
- Inspired Senior Living of Hamilton DST (New Jersey)
- Inspired Senior Living of Lake Orion DST (Michigan)
- Inspired Senior Living of Largo DST (Florida)
- Inspired Senior Living of Las Vegas DST (Nevada)
- Inspired Senior Living of Melbourne DST (Florida)
- Inspired Senior Living of Mequon DST (Wisconsin)
- Inspired Senior Living of Naperville DST (Illinois)
- Inspired Senior Living of New Braunfels DST (Texas)
- Inspired Senior Living of North Haven DST (Connecticut)
- Inspired Senior Living of Pinellas Park DST (Florida)
- Inspired Senior Living of Reno DST (Nevada)
- Inspired Senior Living of Round Rock DST (Texas)
- Inspired Senior Living of San Marcos DST (Texas)
- Inspired Senior Living of St. Petersburg DST (Florida)
- IHC – Ashbrook DST (Georgia)
- IHC – Candle Light Cove DST (Location varies)
- IHC – Peachtree DST (Alabama)
Each of these DST investments represented ownership in a specific assisted living or memory care facility, with investors receiving monthly or quarterly distributions derived from rental income generated by the properties. These DSTs were often marketed as low-risk, stable investments suitable for retirees and conservative investors seeking predictable income streams. However, the bankruptcy filing reveals that the underlying properties were likely over-leveraged, under-performing, or both, leaving investors facing potential total losses.
Inspired Healthcare Capital Income Funds – Pooled Investment Vehicles
In addition to property-specific DSTs, Inspired Healthcare Capital offered several pooled income funds that aggregated investor capital to invest across multiple properties and projects. These funds included:
- Inspired Healthcare Capital Income Fund LLC
- Inspired Healthcare Capital Income Fund 2 LLC
- Inspired Healthcare Capital Income Fund 3 LLC
- Inspired Healthcare Capital Income Fund 5 LLC
- Inspired Healthcare Capital Income Fund 5 Notes, LLC
- Inspired Healthcare Capital Liquidity Fund, LLC
- IHC Security Income Fund LLC
These income funds were marketed as diversified investment vehicles that would spread risk across multiple senior living properties and healthcare real estate assets. Investors were promised regular income distributions, often in the range of 5-8% annually, along with the potential for capital appreciation. The funds were typically sold as suitable for income-oriented investors, including retirees looking to supplement Social Security and pension income.
However, pooled funds like these carry significant risks, including:
- Lack of liquidity: Investors typically cannot redeem their shares on demand
- Concentration risk: Despite claims of diversification, many funds were heavily concentrated in senior living real estate
- Leverage risk: The funds may have used significant debt financing, amplifying losses when property values declined or occupancy rates fell
- Management risk: The funds’ performance was entirely dependent on the sponsor’s ability to manage properties and make sound investment decisions
The bankruptcy filing suggests that these income funds were unable to generate sufficient cash flow to meet their distribution obligations and debt service requirements, leaving investors with illiquid, potentially worthless investments.
Development Funds – High-Risk Construction and Development Projects
Inspired Healthcare Capital also offered development funds focused on ground-up construction and development of new senior living facilities:
- IHC Development Fund III, LLC
- IHC Development Fund IV, LLC
- Inspired Healthcare Capital Fund LP
Development funds represent some of the highest-risk investments in the real estate sector. These funds raise capital to acquire land, obtain permits, and construct new facilities, with the expectation that completed properties will be sold or refinanced at a profit. However, development projects are subject to numerous risks, including:
- Construction delays and cost overruns
- Permitting and regulatory challenges
- Market timing risk: Properties may be completed during unfavorable market conditions
- Financing risk: Difficulty obtaining permanent financing upon completion
- Lease-up risk: New facilities may struggle to attract tenants and achieve stabilized occupancy
Development funds are generally considered unsuitable for conservative investors, retirees, or those who cannot afford to lose their entire investment. The fact that these development funds are included in the bankruptcy filing suggests that many projects were either incomplete, over-budget, or unable to secure the financing necessary to complete construction.
Operating Companies and Management Entities
The bankruptcy also includes numerous operating companies and management entities that were responsible for the day-to-day operations of the senior living facilities:
- Volante Senior Living, LLC
- Senior Housing Management Group, LLC
- Senior Housing Marketing Agency, LLC
- MSL Management, LLC
- ZOL Management, LLC
The inclusion of these operating entities in the bankruptcy suggests systemic operational failures across the entire Inspired Healthcare Capital platform, not just isolated problems with individual properties.
Why the Bankruptcy Filing is Devastating for Investors
When a company files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, it triggers an automatic stay that halts all collection actions and typically suspends distributions to investors. For those who invested in Inspired Healthcare Capital products, this means:
- Immediate cessation of income distributions: Monthly or quarterly payments that investors relied upon for living expenses have stopped
- Uncertain recovery timeline: Bankruptcy proceedings can take years to resolve
- Potential total loss of principal: Unsecured creditors (which typically includes equity investors) often recover little to nothing in bankruptcy
- Frozen investments: Investors cannot sell or transfer their interests during the bankruptcy process
- Complex claims process: Investors must file proofs of claim and navigate a complicated legal process to have any hope of recovery
For retirees and conservative investors who were told these investments were “safe” and “stable,” the bankruptcy filing represents a catastrophic loss that may be impossible to recover from through the bankruptcy process alone.
Legal Recovery Options Outside of Bankruptcy: Holding Broker-Dealers and Financial Advisors Accountable
Many investors are unaware that they may have significant legal claims against the broker-dealers and financial advisors who recommended Inspired Healthcare Capital investments. These claims exist independently of the bankruptcy proceedings and can provide a path to recovery even when the underlying investment has failed.
Suitability Violations: Were These Investments Appropriate for You?
Financial advisors and broker-dealers have a legal obligation to ensure that every investment recommendation is suitable for the individual investor based on their:
- Age and investment time horizon
- Risk tolerance and investment objectives
- Financial situation and net worth
- Liquidity needs
- Investment experience and sophistication
- Tax situation
Inspired Healthcare Capital’s investment products—particularly the DSTs, development funds, and income funds—were high-risk, illiquid alternative investments that were unsuitable for many of the investors to whom they were sold. Common suitability violations include:
- Recommending illiquid DSTs to retirees who needed access to their capital
- Selling high-risk development funds to conservative investors
- Over-concentrating client portfolios in alternative investments
- Failing to consider the investor’s need for liquidity and income stability
- Recommending investments that exceeded the investor’s risk tolerance
If your financial advisor recommended an Inspired Healthcare Capital investment without fully understanding your financial situation and investment objectives, or if the investment was clearly inappropriate for someone in your circumstances, you may have a valid suitability claim.
Failure to Conduct Adequate Due Diligence
Broker-dealers have an independent obligation to conduct thorough due diligence on the investment products they offer to clients. This due diligence should include:
- Reviewing the sponsor’s track record and financial condition
- Analyzing the investment’s structure and fee arrangements
- Evaluating the underlying assets and their performance
- Identifying potential conflicts of interest
- Assessing the liquidity and marketability of the investment
- Understanding the risks and how they align with the firm’s client base
If Inspired Healthcare Capital was experiencing financial difficulties, operational problems, or other red flags prior to the bankruptcy filing, broker-dealers that continued to sell these products to clients may be liable for failure to conduct adequate due diligence. Warning signs that should have prompted further investigation include:
- Delayed or suspended distributions to investors
- Difficulty refinancing properties or obtaining new financing
- Declining occupancy rates at senior living facilities
- Management turnover or operational instability
- Regulatory actions or investor complaints
Misrepresentation and Omission of Material Facts
Investors may also have claims based on misrepresentations or omissions made during the sales process. Common examples include:
- Overstating the safety and stability of the investments
- Downplaying or failing to disclose the illiquid nature of the investments
- Making unrealistic projections about income distributions
- Failing to disclose conflicts of interest, such as high commissions paid to selling brokers
- Misrepresenting the diversification benefits of the investments
- Failing to disclose the sponsor’s financial difficulties or operational problems
If you were told that Inspired Healthcare Capital investments were “safe,” “guaranteed,” or “suitable for conservative investors” without full disclosure of the risks, you may have a claim for misrepresentation.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty
Some financial advisors operate under a fiduciary standard, which requires them to act in their clients’ best interests at all times. Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) are held to this higher standard, as are brokers when providing investment advice under Regulation Best Interest (Reg BI). If your advisor was acting as a fiduciary and recommended an Inspired Healthcare Capital investment that was not in your best interest—perhaps because it generated high commissions for the advisor—you may have a claim for breach of fiduciary duty.

Securities Arbitration: A Faster Path to Recovery
Most brokerage account agreements contain mandatory arbitration clauses, which means that disputes must be resolved through the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration process rather than in court. While some investors are initially concerned about arbitration, it actually offers several advantages:
- Faster resolution: Arbitration cases typically resolve in 12-18 months, compared to 3-5 years for court litigation
- Lower costs: Arbitration is generally less expensive than litigation
- Expert arbitrators: FINRA arbitration panels include industry experts who understand complex investment products
- High success rate: Investors who are represented by experienced counsel have a strong track record of success in FINRA arbitration
Our firm has handled hundreds of FINRA arbitration cases and has recovered millions of dollars for investors who lost money due to broker misconduct.

We understand that investors who have already lost money in a failed investment are understandably concerned about the cost of legal representation. That’s why we handle all investment fraud cases on a contingency fee basis, which means:
- No upfront costs or retainer fees
- No hourly billing
- We only get paid if we successfully recover money for you
- Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, so our interests are aligned with yours
This “No Recovery, No Fee” arrangement allows investors to pursue their legal rights without taking on additional financial risk.

Take Action Now: Time Limits Apply
If you invested in any Inspired Healthcare Capital product and suffered losses, it’s critical that you act quickly to protect your legal rights. Securities claims are subject to strict time limits, and waiting too long can result in the permanent loss of your right to pursue recovery.
You may have a valid claim if you:
- Invested in any Inspired Healthcare Capital DST, income fund, development fund, or limited partnership
- Were told the investment was safe, stable, or suitable for conservative investors
- Were not adequately informed of the risks, illiquidity, or conflicts of interest
- Suffered losses when the investment failed or distributions stopped
- Were a retiree or conservative investor who should not have been sold high-risk alternative investments
Don’t wait for the bankruptcy process to play out. While you should file a proof of claim in the bankruptcy case to preserve your rights, the bankruptcy process is unlikely to result in meaningful recovery for equity investors. Your best chance of recovering your losses is to pursue a claim against the broker-dealer and financial advisor who recommended the investment.
