PROPERTIES

Property Types

Assisted Living Properties

Assisted living facilities are state regulated rental properties that provide the same services as independent living facilities, but also provide supportive care from trained employees to residents who require assistance with activities of daily living, including management of medications, bathing, dressing, toileting, ambulating and eating. Certain assisted living facilities may include state licensed settings that specialize in caring for those afflicted with Alzheimer's disease and/or similar forms of dementia.

Skilled Nursing Properties

Skilled nursing facilities are licensed daily rate or rental properties where the majority of individuals require 24-hour nursing and/or medical care. Generally, these properties are licensed for Medicaid and/or Medicare reimbursement.

Independent Living/Continuing Care Retirement Communities

Independent living facilities are age-restricted multifamily properties with central dining facilities that provide residents access to meals and other services such as housekeeping, linen service, transportation and social and recreational activities. Continuing care retirement communities include a combination of detached homes, an independent living facility, an assisted living facility and/or a skilled nursing facility on one campus. These communities are appealing to residents because there is no need for relocating when health and medical needs change.  Resident payment plans vary, but can include entrance fees, condominium fees and rental fees.  Many of these communities also charge monthly maintenance fees in exchange for a living unit, meals and some health services.  Active adult communities contain primarily for-sale single-family homes, townhomes, cluster homes, mobile homes and/or condominiums with no specialized services.  These communities are typically restricted or targeted to adults at least 55 years of age or older.  Residents generally lead an independent lifestyle.  Communities may include amenities such as a clubhouse, golf course and recreational spaces.

Specialty Care Properties

Specialty care facilities include acute care hospitals, long-term acute care hospitals and other specialty care facilities. Acute care hospitals provide a wide range of inpatient and outpatient services, including, but not limited to, surgery, rehabilitation, therapy and clinical laboratories. Long-term acute care hospitals provide inpatient services for patients with complex medical conditions that require more intensive care, monitoring or emergency support than that available in most skilled nursing facilities. Other specialty care facilities typically provide specialized inpatient and outpatient care for specific illnesses or diseases, including, among others, orthopedic and neurologic care.

Medical Office Buildings

Medical office buildings are office and clinic facilities, often located near hospitals or on hospital campuses, specifically constructed and designed for the use by physicians and other health care personnel to provide services to their patients.  They may also include ambulatory surgery centers that are used for general or specialty surgical procedures not requiring an overnight stay in a hospital.  Medical office buildings typically contain sole and group physician practices and may provide laboratory and other patient services.
