You have to hand it to Jonathan Litt of Land & Buildings, he has not given up on the senior care sector. After going after a few provider companies in the pre-COVID past, he recently set his sights on Ventas. But, Big Deb did not quake in her heels. She never does. As is his way, Litt tried to get a position on the Ventas Board, and after meeting with two separate groups of directors, he apparently thought that he made a good impression and had swayed them. Wrong. Right after his March 7 letter to Ventas shareholders, Ventas announced the appointment of a new board member, but his name was not Litt. Extremely qualified, yes, but not Litt. In Litt’s letter, he indicated his “tremendous... Read More »A Conversation on the Bridge Lending Market with Oxford Finance

Ben Swett sat down with Kevin Harbour and Tracy Maziek of Oxford Finance to discuss the state of the bridge lending market in a rising interest rate environment. Read More »Brookdale Provides Update
Brookdale Senior Living just released its occupancy update for February, and our first take was that things need to be better than that. Then, we remembered our late 2020 analysis which showed that assisted living occupancy has never increased in the first quarter for each of the past 10 years. Therefore, we should not expect too much this quarter. In this light, Brookdale’s census outlook is not too bad. From January to February, the weighted average occupancy dropped just 10 basis points to 73.3%. Even better, the month-end occupancy increased by 20 basis points from the end of January to 74.4%. The problem is that census at the end of September was 74.2%, so we have seen little overall... Read More »Behavioral Health Provider Buys Hometown Senior Living
A national behavioral health provider acquired a Minnesota-based assisted living/memory care provider and its seven locations in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area. Yet again, we are seeing a combination of these healthcare service sectors, as several of the senior care REITs announced plans to grow their behavioral health holdings in their recent earnings announcements. The target was Hometown Senior Living, a family-owned and operated provider that has grown over the past 10 years to be one of the largest memory care operators in the Minneapolis area. It was acquired by Beacon Specialized Living, one of the biggest behavioral health providers in the country with over 190 locations.... Read More »Schedule a demo
