Brookdale Senior Living Has Mixed Results

Brookdale Senior Living Has Mixed Results

On the surface, it looks like Brookdale Senior Living posted decent results for the third quarter. Weighted average occupancy for the quarter increased by 180 basis points sequentially to 76.4%, and by 390 basis points from the year-ago quarter. RevPar increased by 9.7% year over year, and contract labor plunged sequentially by over 40%. But, overall weighted average occupancy is still low at 76.4%, and to get to true profitability again, it needs to get to 85%, which is a long way to go. When looking at same-community results (which includes the vast majority of their communities), community operating expenses increased by 11.1% year over year, while revenue increased by 9.9%. That... Read More »
Welltower’s Third Quarter Results Improve

Welltower’s Third Quarter Results Improve

Three months ago, we reported that Welltower’s CEO, Shankh Mitra, seemed a little depressed on his second quarter earnings call. He was not happy with his portfolio’s performance. He is a little happier today with the third quarter performance, and so are investors, who sent the shares up 8% on the results and other news. Compared with a year ago, Welltower’s same-community SHOP portfolio has seen occupancy increase by 390 basis points, revenues increase by 10.6% and net operating income jump by 17.5%. Now, we are talking about coming from a bad place in the history of the portfolio, so we would expect to see good increases. On the negative side, same-community compensation expense... Read More »

Blueprint Facilitates Arizona Assisted Living Sale

Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors announced the sale of an assisted living community in Arizona. Built in 1987 as a hotel, the property was converted into an assisted living community in 2016. The community comprises 116 units and was operating at 70% occupancy, but it operated very profitably. The community also has a Medicaid behavioral health license.

Regional Owner Acquires Wisconsin AL Community

Regional Owner Acquires Wisconsin AL Community

The Senior Living Investment Brokerage team of Daniel Geraghty and Ryan Saul sold an assisted living community in central Wisconsin for an undisclosed price. Built in the early-1990s, the community was 92% occupied at the time of marketing, but occupancy reached 100% by the time of the sale. Working on behalf of a Northeast-based REIT that deemed the property to be an operational outlier, as it was their only Wisconsin property, the SLIB team procured multiple offers from interested parties. With occupancy like that, we are not surprised. In the end, the buyer was a private regional company with additional assets in Wisconsin looking to strategically add to their portfolio. They have a... Read More »
