The Aging Boomer Landlords: 5 Senior Housing REITs and What Their Yields Are Telling You
24/7 Wall St compares Welltower, Ventas, CareTrust REIT, Sabra Health Care REIT and LTC Properties as different forms of exposure to aging-related housing demand. The article contrasts private-pay senior housing with portfolios more dependent on skilled nursing operators and public health-care reimbursement. It also describes LTC's ongoing shift toward operating senior housing communities.
The comparison argues that dividend yield should be examined alongside distribution coverage, leverage and property operations. It uses company measures such as funds from operations and funds available for distribution, which are distinct from GAAP net income. Labor costs, operator credit and reimbursement policy feature among the risks discussed; the article's assessment is an investment opinion.
