Brookdale’s Occupancy Keeps Improving

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. The proof will be in the third quarter results and whether these increases are profitable or just increases in census for the sake of growth. It will all depend on the level of discounting as well as expense control. Time will tell. Read More »

In Memoriam: Doug Korey

In Memoriam: Doug Korey

We just heard the unfortunate news that our friend and colleague Doug Korey passed away last week. He had been battling cancer for a while but always put a brave face on his journey. We have known Doug since he got into the senior care industry more than 25 years ago. We served on panels with him and had many off-the-record conversations about some of the transactions he was working on. We even had to sub him on stage at the last minute at an NIC conference due to a scheduling mix up. It was our pleasure. We enjoyed his dry sense of humor, and we know that his friends and colleagues at LTC Properties will miss him dearly. Read More »
