Senior care facilities are not catching a break. Labor costs have soared, even when not accounting for staffing agency costs, and won’t come back down. Occupancy is slowly recovering, but a long winter and a bad flu season will set the sector back. Food and other supply costs are high. Plus, inflation, higher interest rates, a weaker housing market and potential recession all make it harder for seniors to afford senior care services and certainly to cover another year of 8-12% rental rate increases necessary for communities to even maintain their operating margins. But another thorn in the sector’s side has been insurance costs, both property and liability, which are rising and eating into... Read More »Proveer Purchases Alabama AL/MC Portfolio
