More Shareholder Activism
Fresh from its success in getting two people voted onto the Ventas Board of Directors, Land & Buildings is at it again, this time with National Health Investors. Like all the REITs, NHI’s managers and tenants had their share of problems during the pandemic. Who didn’t? Most of these issues are behind it, but the REIT could be in even stronger financial shape with just a few changes, which is what L&B wants to do. National Health Investors went public in 1991 and has had a long-term relationship with publicly traded National HealthCare Corporation (NHC), which leases several of its nursing homes from NHI. These 35 nursing facilities provide a solid foundation for NHI, and NHC has... Read More »

The last company in our sector, Sonida Senior Living, finally reported fourth quarter and full-year 2023 earnings, and while pretty good, that was not even the story. The story started four weeks ago.

60 Seconds with Swett: Private Equity Ownership in Health Care
We have long been tired of the often-inaccurate claims of “private equity’s takeover of the nursing home industry” and the too-simplistic or misleading correlations between PE ownership and quality of care. Of course there are never any mentions of the need for SNF owners to make a profit or the benefits of fresh capital injections into the industry and into aging physical plants. We have also written several times that, according to our data, PE firms have only been the buyers in about 5% of SNF deals, a share that has actually shrunk in the last couple of years. Seniors housing was higher, above 10% of acquisitions, but a study done by our sister site LevinPro HC shows that several... Read More »
Fast-Growing SNF Operator Files for IPO
There may be a new publicly traded senior care company on the horizon, as PACS Group, a Utah-based skilled nursing operator with more than 200 facilities in its current portfolio, filed for an initial public offering with the SEC on March 13. It plans to list on the NYSE under the symbol PACS. The company is barely 10 years old but has grown its reach to nine states, serves more than 20,000 patients daily and reported $3.1 billion of total revenue in 2023. NOI in 2023 reached $112.9 million, while adjusted EBITDA was $276.5 million. It also has about $732 million of debt on its books. As recently as 2020, the company only had 65 facilities in its portfolio, so the bulk of its acquisitions... Read More »Schedule a demo
