Mr. Dimant joins Lument after working as a managing director at Greystone for eight years, where he originated multifamily and healthcare loans, specializing in HUD, agency and bridge loans. He brings experience in conventional, seniors, and multifamily production, and Lument’s expansive financing platform should serve his client base well. He will report to Aaron Becker, Lument’s head of seniors housing and healthcare production. Notably, Dimant also served in the Israeli Defense Forces for four years, including time as a member of an elite paratrooper unit. He is...

About the webinar: The pandemic shook the seniors housing and care industry like no crisis possibly has before. Average census plunged across the country, as did profits, and it took several iterations of government aid to keep many facilities afloat. In the first full year after the pandemic, occupancy has rebounded, albeit slower than needed, and operating margins have taken a hit from rising costs, particularly from labor. So how have the fundamentals of owning and operating seniors housing and care properties changed as a result of the pandemic? And when should investors value a property’s pre-pandemic performance versus its current or projected operations? Also, which subsectors have... Read More »
Welltower: Riding Out The Storm
There were no surprises in Welltower’s fourth quarter and full-year 2021 earnings report, which we suppose is a good thing. Could the seniors housing portfolio be performing better? Yes, but so could everyone else’s portfolio. The U.S. seniors housing owned portfolio (SHOP) has seen a slowdown in census increase, with no change in December, which followed a 50-bp rise in November and 30-bp increase in October. That results in 80 basis points of census increase in three months, compared with 260 bp in the third quarter previous and 280 bps in the second quarter. While there is some seasonality in that fourth quarter number, we also may have seen the end of the “post-lockdown” boost, or the...

SLIB Sells Portfolio in Arkansas
Nick Cacciabando and Patrick Burke of Senior Living Investment Brokerage sold a portfolio of three properties located in Arkansas. Consisting of 175 units of private pay assisted living, the properties average 6 acres and 52,000 square feet each and were built in the late 1990s. The seller, a local family owner/operator, developed the three properties and retired from the seniors housing industry with this divestiture. The buyer is a private national company based in New York who will enlist an operating partner to manage the property. This is their first acquisition in the state of Arkansas, but they own and operate communities in several neighboring states. No purchase price was... Read More »
Oregon Owner/Operator Sells Seven Sites
An Oregon owner/operator has exited the industry with the sale of their seven-property portfolio. Built between 1999 and 2014, each building has 15 units, and all are in secondary markets along the I-5 Interstate. The purchase price was $15.875 million, or roughly $178,000 per unit. While historically operating near stabilized levels generating gross revenue of $6 million, performance declined in late 2021. Although, occupancy at closing was approximately 85%, which a number of operators across the country would probably love to achieve right now. The buyer is a regional operator with a focus on serving memory care residents which intends to invest in operational systems to drive... Read More »

Brookdale Reports and Provides Guidance
Not since the pandemic hit has Brookdale Senior Living provided guidance on adjusted EBITDA and RevPAR growth. It is something that has been missing for investors and analysts, but Brookdale was not alone in suspending guidance. It just became too difficult for anyone in the senior care business to predict with any amount of certainty what the next quarter or year would bring. Full year adjusted EBITDA is projected to be between $240 million and $260 million, while RevPAR is expected to grow by 10% to 12% in 2022. Adjusted EBITDA in 2021 was $138.5 million, but $283.6 million in 2020. The good news is that this means management has more confidence with where their operations are going. We...
