Brookdale’s Portfolio Stumbles in February
Brookdale Senior Living reported its February 2026 occupancy numbers, and if the remaining cold weather months even closely resemble what the company has posted so far this winter, they will need to do some serious heavy lifting this summer to progress in its census rebound. All of its reported occupancy figures, including consolidated and same-community weighted average and month-end occupancy, posted year-over-year increases, but each also reported declines in recent months. Focusing on its same-community portfolio for now, February’s weighted average occupancy came in at 82.6%, a 160-basis-point increase year over year, but it has now declined for four consecutive months, dropping...

60 Seconds with Swett: The State of the Healthcare M&A Market
I attended the McDermott Will & Schulte Healthcare Private Equity Conference in Miami Beach last week, and the buzz mostly centered around increased investment in outpatient care, AI in healthcare and a persistent bid-ask spread that has kept healthcare M&A relatively steady, and down when comparing it to the seniors housing and care market.

The trip was good timing, because next week on Thursday March 19th, I’ll be... Read More »
