PACS Group is trying to right the ship as it works to restate its prior financial statements amid an investigation into its Medicare billing practices, and return to providing regular quarterly earnings statements.

Brookdale’s Occupancy Keeps Improving
It is a shame that Brookdale Senior Living did not do two years ago what it has been doing for the past nine months or so. Weighted average occupancy in August 2025 was 81.8%, up 70 basis points sequentially. This was the seventh month in a row the company posted an increase. Month-end occupancy in August was 83.2%, up 60 basis points sequentially and up 280 basis points from a year ago. That represents the ninth month in a row of an increase.
