60 Seconds with Swett: Healthcare M&A Totals

We know that seniors housing and care dealmakers pushed M&A activity to its second-highest total ever in 2023, with around 490 transactions, and counting. But what about the whole healthcare industry, which our sister publication LevinPro HC tracks? For the year, the 12 other healthcare sectors we cover, from Behavioral Health and Home Health to Hospitals and Physician Medical Groups, a total of 2,154 transactions were publicly announced, a 12% decline from the 2,443 transactions disclosed in 2022, which was a record-high.

LTC Properties Completes Brookdale Portfolio Restructuring

LTC Properties Completes Brookdale Portfolio Restructuring

Even though it took a year, the 35 assisted living communities that had been leased by LTC Properties to Brookdale Senior Living have now found homes, with some being new. The leases were set to expire at the end of 2023, and in early 2023 discussions began in earnest. It appeared that Brookdale did not want to renew at the then existing lease rate, at least not for all 35, so it looked like they were going to walk. What is often forgotten in these negotiations is how much overhead these portfolios cover, especially when concentrated in areas where the tenant already has many other properties. After looking like Brookdale was putting them in the rearview mirror, they came back to the table... Read More »
