NIC Data Shows Slow Occupancy Recovery
According to most recent aggregated NIC data, occupancy in the third quarter rose to 80.1%, after having stagnated in the previous two quarters at 78.7%. It’s great to see this positive movement, but we are still a long way away from pre-pandemic occupancy levels, and we would have hoped to see more growth heading into the holiday and flu season. This average is also not an indicator of how other institutional operators and REITs are performing, or the industry as a whole, but there are just no other comprehensive sector-wide statistics out there. As we reported last month, Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc. disclosed a 716-basis point increase in occupancy between February and July 2021. Senior... Read More »

Winterpast Capital Partners, its affiliate Vitality Living and Broadview Real Estate Partners acquired the property, with... Read More »
The Battle Continues for Capital Senior Living
The saga continues for Capital Senior Living. Days after CSU announced that it had entered into an amended and restated agreement with Conversant Capital, a vocal opponent to the deal (and 12.7% stockholder of CSU) Ortelius Advisors, L.P. issued a letter to stockholders urging them to vote against the amended transactions at the October 22 special meeting. Ortelius made it clear that they thought the CSU Board’s deals with Conversant have been flawed from Day One. They called it exceedingly costly, highly dilutive, and only stood to benefit a few parties, including management, two large investors (Arbiter and Silk) and Conversant. Let’s get to the details. First, Ortelius made clear that... Read More »Schedule a demo
