Brookdale Senior Living: Slow and Steady

Brookdale Senior Living: Slow and Steady

Brookdale Senior Living released its fourth quarter and full-year earnings results this week, and all we can say is that the improvements, while welcomed, are slow and steady. Management has had a lot on its plate the past 18 months or so in a post-pandemic environment, but things like occupancy are moving up, but not as fast as for others. The problem as we have seen and vocalized for several years, is that it takes a long time to move a battleship in a new direction. And as the largest senior living provider in the country, it was a very large battleship to move. Management has successfully put in motion most of the necessary changes for the future, but now comes the execution part, and... Read More »

Joint Venture Acquires High-Quality Asset Near Philly

Alex Florea, Steve Thomes, Kevin Lukehart and Kory Buzin of Blueprint were engaged by a national private equity investor in its divestment of a Class-A, newer-vintage seniors housing community in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.
