Brookdale Continues to Roll, But Maybe not Rock
Brookdale Senior Living just announced its August occupancy results, and it continues to rollon with the increases, but not quite rockin’. The third quarter for the industry has always, and wemean always, been the one quarter with decent occupancy gains year after year, so if Brookdaledid not post gains for the first two months, we would be concerned. The provider posted its seventh straight month of an increase in month-ending occupancy.August ended at 77.9%, up 80 basis points from the end of July, which itself was 50 basis pointshigher than the end of June. This is not too shabby, but the absolute levels are still way too lowfor a solid financial recovery. Month-end occupancy year over... Read More »Will They Never Learn?
First it was the Class Act, that part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that was, in actuality, a Ponzi scheme where “long-term care” premiums were going to be used to fund other aspects of the ACA, but they did not come clean on this little fact. The money was never going to be there when it would be needed. It was eventually removed a few years after the ACA was passed when even the Democrats pushing through the ACA admitted the Class Act was not going to work as originally touted. Then came the WA Cares Fund in 2019, with its payroll tax of 58 cents on every $100 earned. It doesn’t sound like too much, but the benefits were not too much either, if any funds were there when you needed... Read More »MidCap Financial Closes Acquisition Loan

Next week is NIC’s Fall Conference in Washington, D.C., and we are curious to see just how inflation, rising interest rates and general economic uncertainty will affect the mood of the many dealmakers in attendance. We are on track to break a record for total transactions announced in a year, and only an especially slow fourth quarter would prevent that from happening. Given how much capital is out there for higher yielding assets (compared to multifamily that is), and the fact that rates are still historically low for now, we think we’ll break that record. There will just be a little more conservatism in most buyer’s bids and from their lending partners, which is not a bad thing. The... Read More »Spotlight on Senior Care M&A
