Five Star Senior Living Exits the SNF Business
Five Star Senior Living has completed its planned exit from the skilled nursing business by transitioning the operations of 107 properties owned by Diversified Healthcare Trust. Originally, there were 108 properties in the transition, but the parties decided to close one. Five Star will also work with Diversified to close one more property in Delaware. The RMR Group, an alternative asset management company, provides management services to both Diversified and Five Star. The amended management arrangement with Diversified, first announced this April, will leave Five Star with 140 senior living communities (120 of which are owned by Diversified) and approximately 20,000 units under...

After announcing their agreement to provide Recovery Centers of America with a $325 million mortgage loan this week, Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc. reported occupancy gains across several of their portfolios. Among their top eight skilled nursing operators, they have seen a 554-basis point increase between late December 2020 to... Read More »
Five Star Exits Skilled Nursing Sector in Portfolio Restructuring
Five Star Senior Living is making a complete exit from the skilled nursing sector and restructuring its portfolio to focus more on larger, lower acuity seniors housing properties. It looks like an acknowledgement of the company’s weakness, and its strengths, to focus on what it does best, at a smaller, more manageable size. Its landlord, Diversified Healthcare Trust, agreed to amend its management agreements and transition 108 smaller senior living communities totaling approximately 7,500 units to other operators by the end of the year. DHC will not have to pay a termination fee and will also no longer have the right to sell up to $682 million worth of senior living communities... Read More »Schedule a demo
