The number of publicly announced seniors housing and care acquisitions in the first quarter of 2026 reached 231 deals, based on new acquisition data from LevinPro LTC.

Brookdale’s Summer Test Ahead
Brookdale Senior Living reported its March occupancy results, and it unfortunately took another step in the wrong direction. We will get a better read when peers report first-quarter results and when NIC MAP releases its next tranche of occupancy data, but at this point, it seems as though Brookdale will need a particularly strong performance during the peak leasing months to show any real momentum, or even hold steady, in 2026. Same-community weighted average occupancy has now declined each month since October, falling 120 basis points over that stretch. Same-community month-end occupancy did not come in much better, down 100 basis points over the same time period. Brookdale pointed... Read More »

Regional Owner/Operator Exits Senior Care Industry
Senior Living Investment Brokerage completed a regional owner/operator’s exit from the seniors housing industry with a third and final disposition. The asset was The Homestead in Fallon, Nevada, about one hour east of Reno. It was originally built between 1972 and 1980 and has undergone significant renovations in 2007 and 2018. Most recently, in 2025, ownership converted leased office space into four new independent living units. It now comprises 56 units of IL, assisted living and memory care. It was well occupied at 94%, and operated near a 20% margin on $3.05 million of revenues. That is strong performance in such a rural location.

Well-Performing SNF Trades in Iowa
A skilled nursing facility in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, that boasted strong occupancy levels and consistent cash flow traded hands. The facility had long-standing referral relationships and a reliable census pipeline. But, there is still room for upside. Ownership was intentional in selecting a buyer that would preserve and build upon the facility’s culture and reputation. Ultimately, a regional owner/operator with a proven track record in the skilled nursing sector aligned with the seller’s culture acquired the community. Connor Doherty, Ryan Kelly and Will Roberts of Blueprint handled the sale. Read More »
