We have been inundated with deals since January 1st, with more than 30 already made public, and the activity is coming on the heels of a record-breaking 2025 when we recorded more than 870 separate transactions.

We are talking about Brookdale Senior Living’s occupancy recovery, and why the previous leadership seemed unable to move the needle, but as soon as they were gone, everything has been on an upward trend. Hmmmmm. Things are not perfect at Brookdale, but they never were. However, same-community occupancy is up by 260 basis points year over year to 82.3%.
