Brookdale Continues To Grow Census

by | Jul 13, 2022 9:59 am | Uncategorized | 0 comments

Brookdale Senior Living continues to see census growth, posting its best second quarter sequential weighted average occupancy growth in more than 10 years. And remember, the second quarter has not been the industry’s friend for the past decade or so, so this is a great set up for the rest of the year. Weighted average occupancy in June was 75.2%, up 60 basis points from May and up 400 basis points from June in 2021. Before we pop the corks, occupancy in the mid 70 percent range is still quite low, and a far cry from Brookdale’s 84.5% in the fourth quarter of 2019, or 89.0% in the fourth quarter of 2013. But it is a step in the right direction. It is just that we need to see a lot of these... Read More »
