Mom & Pop Divests SNF to Publicly Traded Company in Iowa
Senior Care Realty was brought on by a mom & pop in their divestment of a skilled nursing facility in northwest Iowa.

Beth Mace New Director at Brookdale
Brookdale Senior Living recently held its annual meeting of shareholders, and Beth Mace was voted in as a new member of its Board of Directors. Not only that, but she received more votes than any other nominee (157,658,156), and fewer “against” votes than any other nominee. As readers know, we have complained that for many years Brookdale’s board has lacked any outside directors with any real knowledge of the seniors housing business, and now they have one. Beth recently retired as the head of research at NIC, and had been responsible for providing financial data to the industry to try to help investors and lenders understand certain dynamics, and how those dynamics...
