    Recently, we have seen stories circulating about the connection between REIT ownership and the way skilled nursing facilities provide care, stemming from a study written by the nonprofit journalism outlet KFF Health News. We’ve seen this before, headlines like “real estate investors profit while patients suffer,” usually with graphic cases of... Read More »

2025 Seniors Housing and Care M&A Activity Smashes Multiple Records

Seniors housing and care M&A activity in 2025 smashed the previous annual record of publicly disclosed transaction volume set in 2024, based on new acquisition data from LevinPro LTC. There were 871 publicly disclosed transactions in 2025, surpassing the previous record of 721 deals set in 2024 by 20.8%.   The number of publicly announced seniors housing and care acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2025 rose to 285 deals, a new quarterly record.

60 Seconds with Swett: Annual M&A Activity Shatters Records

60 Seconds with Swett: Annual M&A Activity Shatters Records

We may sound like a broken record, but the M&A market keeps setting records and reaching new heights in the seniors housing and care industry. And it is smashing the previous records. In 2025, LevinPro LTC recorded 871 publicly announced transactions, which broke the previous annual record set in 2024 by 21%. Not only that, 2024’s total had beaten the previous annual record by 28.5%. So we have been on a proverbial rocket ship in the last two years. Much of the activity has centered around the seniors housing market, as despite intense buyer demand for skilled nursing facilities, there has been a relative dearth of facilities available for sale. Seniors housing deals, meanwhile, have... Read More »
60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: Record M&A Year, Again

60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: Record M&A Year, Again

You may start to get tired of hearing us talk about all the records being set, but we will never tire of it. As of November 11, we have passed last year’s record of total acquisitions in the seniors housing and care sector, now standing at over 720 deals, according to LevinPro LTC. And we thought last year was an amazing year! The good news is that pricing has been relatively reasonable so far, mostly because of still-high interest rates and lenders not getting too aggressive. What we don’t know is how long this will last. “Stupid” money that has appeared in previous rising markets has not yet reared its ugly head, but that will probably change. Everyone is looking for a growing market,... Read More »
