2019 Sets Senior Care M&A Record
What a year it was. We have now recorded 447 publicly announced seniors housing and care transactions in 2019, which is not only a record, but is also still just a preliminary number. Coming off of another record-breaking year in 2018, with 430 deals, the industry has amazingly surpassed that level of activity, by a whopping 5%. That’s what a lot of cheap capital can do. A busy fourth quarter pushed the sector to that unprecedented total, with 110 deals announced. As has historically been the case, private senior care providers made up the majority of buyers, accounting for nearly 50% of all Q4 acquisitions. REITs and real estate investment... Read More »

There was a bid for 4,000 shares at $3.48 per share, while a seller was asking for $3.98 per share for a smaller number of shares. I had not seen such a large difference between what a buyer wanted and a seller. I checked Brookdale Senior Living, and the spread was two cents. So, I re-looked at Capital Senior Living’s third quarter earnings to see what shareholders might be concerned... Read More »
The Brookdale CCRC Selling Spree Continues
Brookdale Senior Living keeps shedding its CCRC holdings. Just a month after the provider agreed to sell its 51% interest in 13 CCRCs owned jointly with HCP, Inc. (now HealthPeak Properties) for $541 million, or $84,800 per unit, Brookdale is selling three more to a joint venture between Frontline Management and Onelife Investments.
