The Night Before Christmas 2022

The Night Before Christmas 2022

‘Twas the night before Christmas,And all through the community,Not a resident was stirring,As they took all their meds early.The offerings were hung by the chimney with care,In hopes that a PE firm or REIT would still dare,The lenders were nestled all snug in their bed,With visions of term sheets that would not leave them for dead,And Cindy Baier in her kerchief and I with my pen,Had just settled down to discuss, but when?When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,She sprang from the board room to see what was the matter,Away to the window we flew like a flash,And tore open the shutters to see who brought the cash.The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,Gave a lustre of...

A Ventas-Priority Life Care Turnaround Success

A Ventas-Priority Life Care Turnaround Success

We all know that seniors housing census has pretty much increased across the board since the bottom was hit in March 2021, nearly two years ago. But the pace of that increase has been slowing. A case in point is Brookdale Senior Living’s stall in October and November, and we have not even hit the worst flu months yet, and this one is supposed to be a doozy. Late last year, after Ventas removed the operator for its Eclipse Senior Living portfolio (the former Elmcroft Senior Living portfolio) and basically shut down the management company, the REIT dispersed the management of the roughly 90 communities in 20 states across eight other operators. Maybe some old-fashioned TLC from smaller... Read More »
