Brookdale Has Great Start To Third Quarter Nearly two years ago, we wrote that the first half of every year was a census downer for the industry, but that the third quarter was always a winner. We are making history, or better said, you are making history. The first half of this year has been a winner, which it should have been because of the COVID recovery. But census should have been growing faster, held back in part by the labor supply problems and lingering COVID outbreaks. Month-end occupancy for Brookdale Senior Living increased by 210 basis points in the first half of 2022, and then got a great start for the third quarter with a 50-basis point increase in July.
