National Health Investors Issues Another Update

National Health Investors Issues Another Update

National Health Investors is continuing its steady census progress, but the rent deferrals for Bickford Senior Living just will not end. The silver lining is that the deferral amounts are decreasing, from $3 million in both March and April of this year and $2 million in June. Now, the two parties have agreed to $1.5 million in rent deferrals per month in June and July. That will bring Bickford’s total deferred rents with NHI to $11.75 million for the year, so far, which is expected to be repaid over a period of 18 months commencing on October 1, 2021, at an interest rate of 8% from the date of the deferral. That is on top of the $3.75 million of Bickford deferred rent from Q4:20 and... Read More »

In the REIT world, that kind of tenant concentration is a no-no.   Like most owners across the country, including Atria, the New Senior portfolio has seen its occupancy drop by 690 basis points in the past year. This is much better than the average for assisted living and skilled nursing, but as we... Read More »
