A Ventas-Priority Life Care Turnaround Success
We all know that seniors housing census has pretty much increased across the board since the bottom was hit in March 2021, nearly two years ago. But the pace of that increase has been slowing. A case in point is Brookdale Senior Living’s stall in October and November, and we have not even hit the worst flu months yet, and this one is supposed to be a doozy. Late last year, after Ventas removed the operator for its Eclipse Senior Living portfolio (the former Elmcroft Senior Living portfolio) and basically shut down the management company, the REIT dispersed the management of the roughly 90 communities in 20 states across eight other operators. Maybe some old-fashioned TLC from smaller... Read More »
Latest Seniors Housing Development Activity
We have tracked multiple seniors housing projects announcing their groundbreakings across the country this past week. In East Chicago, funding for a $51 million affordable seniors housing development has been secured by several investors. Lakeshore Manor will comprise 206 units across two separate four-story buildings. DTM Real Estate will develop the new affordable seniors housing project, which will replace the 1972-built John B.

In a separate development, we have learned that the 2,200-acre, 3,500-home development along Lake Travis, just outside of Austin, Texas will include seniors housing units. The... Read More »
Senior Housing Development Breaks Ground in California
A major seniors housing community is going forward in Orcutt, California, with an eye toward inter-generational living. Having just received approval from the Santa Barbara County Planning Commission, Ranch at Orcutt will comprise a 103-unit assisted living/memory care building, 48 independent living apartments, one single-story duplex and four two-story fourplex IL units.

Ziegler closed two series of revenue bonds for Plymouth Place, an Illinois not-for-profit that owns and operates a CCRC in La Grange Park, Illinois. Incorporated in 1939 on about 18.6 acres, the campus includes 182 independent living units, 52 assisted living units, 26 memory care units and 82 skilled nursing beds.

The units are expected to open in early 2024. A connector building with additional common areas will also be built, along with outdoor amenities like a yoga lawn, bocce ball and...

Last month, we raised issues about Sonida Senior Living and its ability to survive through next year without additional capital. Its market cap is low ($86 million), its share price is falling as are its cash balances. G&A expenses have been way too high, but they are beginning to address that. Another company, AlerisLife, is facing similar problems, such as a small market cap ($25 million), a falling share price and G&A expense out of line with its operations ($17 million in the third quarter alone). One good thing going for the company is that it has $79.1 million of cash and just $67 million of long-term debt. And, quarter-end occupancy in the third quarter increased...
