    Brookdale Senior Living released its fourth quarter and full-year earnings results this week, and all we can say is that the improvements, while welcomed, are slow and steady.

Blackstone Divests in Kentucky

Blackstone Divests in Kentucky

A large seniors housing community in Lexington, Kentucky, sold with the help of the team at Newmark. Built in 1986 and renovated in both 2015 and 2022 (a significant $6 million renovation in 2022), Richmond Place features 257 units of independent living, assisted living and memory care. There are 183 IL, 60 AL and 14 MC units. We understand the property improved its operations in the last couple years, now exceeding prepandemic occupancy and nearing 95%. With a healthy rate increase pushed through in 2023, we imagine its operating margin has improved as well.  It has most recently been operated by LCS but was previously managed by Brookdale Senior Living for many years.

Sonida Senior Living Keeps Pushing Census

Sonida Senior Living Keeps Pushing Census

We have been impressed by Sonida Senior Living management’s ability to get out of its census, cash flow and balance sheet difficulties over the past year. After some acquisitions this year, the company now operates 93 senior living communities, most of them owned.  In the third quarter, same-community occupancy for 61 communities increased by 210 basis points year over year to 87.0%. That is well ahead of many other operators, as well as higher than the NIC MAP census averages. They are well on their way to hitting the elusive goal of 90% occupancy. Speaking of 90% occupancy, management believes that when they reach it for their same-community portfolio, the NOI margin for these... Read More »
