2021 Outlook: Senior Housing M&A Will Rise, Occupancy Slower to Recover

Casey Moore, managing director for agency finance at Lument, participated in a recent webinar on the financial outlook for senior housing in 2021, hosted by Senior Housing News. With occupancy at all-time low levels, panelists believe it likely will take a year or more for census to recover to pre-pandemic levels. Other key takeaways include that health care real estate investment trusts (REITs) are expected to be major drivers of senior housing merger and acquisition activity in 2021.
