Brookdale Occupancy Stumbles
Last month’s capital raise caused Brookdale Senior Living’s shares to plunge 40%, and now November occupancy is on a downward path as well. Perhaps that is why they needed the new capital, and we are just barely in the flu season. Weighted average occupancy dropped by 20 basis points in November to 77.0%, and month-end census fell by a smaller 10 basis points to 78.1%. But month-end occupancy has now dropped two months in a row. These are small declines, but symptomatic of problems. The company needs some help. It has been offered in terms of refreshing the Board, but to no avail…. Perhaps it is time that Brookdale finally hires Second Act Financial Services to help its customers move... Read More »
Welltower Controversy?
Back when Welltower announced its agreement to let health system ProMedica Senior Care off the hook with its leases for 147 nursing facilities, leases that were drowning in red ink for ProMedica, we joked about it because, 1) we had just written that not-for-profit ProMedica’s board could not let the red ink flow for much longer, and 2) the new joint venture partner called Integra was not one of the commonly known “Integras” in senior living or health care, and there are many of them. But we did discover the relationship between Welltower’s Integra and an entity called Perigrove, which claimed to be an institutional investor with years and billions of dollars of investments under its belt....

After selling two other vacant Mainstreet-built transitional care facilities in Amarillo and Temple, Texas, earlier this year, Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors’ Amy Sitzman and Giancarlo Riso sold the third and final property of the group. Located in Beaumont, the partially-built facility has 70 units but was never completed before being foreclosed upon. Like the other Mainstreet facilities. Ms. Sitzman and Mr. Riso positioned the asset as a state-of-the-art building that could be acquired at an attractive basis. A Texas-based real estate investor emerged from a competitive bidding process, paying $8.7 million, or $124,000 per unit. They will lease the facility to an East...
