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.

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 »
