What Covid-19 Has Done
The American Seniors Housing Association, together with HealthTrust, contacted over 30 seniors housing operators that operate more than 180,000 units about what has happened to their occupancy levels, revenues, expenses and additional costs pertaining to the pandemic between March 1 and June 30. The results were eye-opening. One interesting result was that despite being the most need-driven, assisted living and memory occupancy dropped by 661 and 651 basis points, respectively, compared with 404 basis points for independent living in the four-month period. In addition, large operators (more than 3,500 units) appeared to fare worse than small (less than 2,000 units) or... Read More »

Having just returned from two different conferences in Florida, the one conclusion I can draw from both of them is that there still is way too much capital looking for yield. One, the Revista-sponsored medical real estate conference, was mostly focused on the medical office building market, which transacted more than $13 billion in investments last year.

One industry veteran told me he was only talking to architects... Read More »
Private Evening in NYC
Members of the American Seniors Housing Association and subscribers to The SeniorCare Investor gathered in New York City on the night of the Rockefeller Center tree lighting in an intimate setting at The Penn Club to hear what Rick Atlas (Atria Senior Living), David Reis (Senior Care Development) and Scott Stewart (Capitol Senior Housing) had to say about investing in seniors housing today. While all three were very bullish on the future of the seniors housing business and long-term investment values, there were certainly differences of opinion as to where they see strength. For example, David Reis stated that not only is the CCRC model alive and well, but several of his CCRCs are... Read More »Schedule a demo
