Brookdale’s Occupancy Keeps Improving

Brookdale’s Occupancy Keeps Improving

It is a shame that Brookdale Senior Living did not do two years ago what it has been doing for the past nine months or so.

Month-end occupancy in August was 83.2%, up 60 basis points sequentially and up 280 basis points from a year ago. That represents the ninth month in a row of an increase. The proof will be in the third quarter results and whether these increases are profitable or just increases in census for the sake of growth. It will all depend on the level of discounting as well as expense control. Time will tell. Read More »

SLIB Handles Minnesota Receivership Sale
