Active Adult: Is Now The Time
The active adult market may fill a lot of voids in seniors housing, including price points and attracting younger “seniors.” Join our webinar as we dissect the market with industry leaders and see how these new properties are trading in the market. First of all, Happy New Year. It has got to be better than the last one. The coronavirus pandemic has certainly disrupted the senior living industry, at least for now. Are consumers going to be afraid of moving into a senior living community once the vaccine is widely distributed? Will cost become a more important factor for choosing the type of community to move into? How about paying for what you only want or need? These will... Read More »

LTC Properties Provides Rent Relief
How do you spell relief in the pandemic? Reducing the rent escalators that REITs charge their tenants. That is precisely what LTC Properties has decided to do in 2021, and we wonder if a few other REITs may follow suit.

Will Brookdale Sell Its Home Health Business?
Rumors were afloat this week that Brookdale Senior Living might be running a sales process for its home health and hospice business. Quietly, it became one of the largest home health providers in the country, with revenues of $447 million in 2019, inclusive of hospice and a very small therapy business. We happen to think home health and hospice is a natural for large senior living providers with a built-in customer base off of which to leverage growth outside their communities. It is also a nice lead-in for full time residence into some of their communities. Today, about 50% of the home health and hospice revenues are “in-house,” while 50% are outside of Brookdale’s...
