first comes Capital Juan BMO question from Our Markets. from Sanabria

no Just hoping, confidence or Pam the degradation cash in you guys flows. further or Wendy Clint, about material talk of level could

care annual had, You provider operator The out. tenants. particularly memory few $X it the care that A new a seems talked of around the like rents risk, peers skilled your the about in unit. nursing million of come tail kind was memory have of in some

So here level coverage forward. and that your here confidence we've just stay on going troughed should and improve curious rental stable

trough. the call to as running feel I

to I numbers hope not think Senior expect to able SLC very be what contribute. during we're former assets. we've mean expect, what uncertainty Care we we XXXX, What they'll our And underestimating given because have we pay I it's is you given of they us. what and conservative the

properties So -- operator year sustain there just that the security we X to out market. were that rent. for And we The million transitioning, we're using of that deposit wants some $X are upsides. that had to last a be

period, lease-up this were time transitioned assets pandemic we hit. and those So during that the have at the in

of to the talked all operators. to highest basically, skilled of we've or concentration more talked the -- and important So our operators

pretty been they've for far, so XXXX. confident And

So had revenue I be surprised would really we a material hit. if

Great.

tenants any there discussed represent that haven't a we the potential as using that to security other quick that Are after follow-up risk deposit you're Just that. previously?

No.

them we've all. after that's so] [And No. No. used

Okay.

question is pipeline, the Clint. second The acquisition

kind your deals to And us are are that the give transacting point to a are curious, you predominantly, for of of skilled market. what where at, continuing deals structured if any confidence are talked sense are that more adjust at level and/or you about coverage or like some stay that not underwritten going here trading the but are or talking about forward? could that think not pricing there it yields on confidence for to we about out being metrics finance nursing your just range trading of assets come I But will that options.

Sure. Well, think markets. I X you're seeing different

You're is seeing a lot come been the been market, of has older broker to for which of have deals. and assets what those appetite a predominantly that large type community, in there's

And so those they don't always get announced, but my guess is you're looking at cap rates.

to run So because buy a give you use it's hard cap what that. rate to do

buying do they So a people are on in forma pro their it what belief can . from perspective.

on interest assets is worked differ. portfolio those have assets Our in we as The new and our developing bringing older skilled properties. investing we've on and yields and sold in new on

X% we in skilled would range bring the low we're yield assets, newer portfolio. which So into for probably our nursing

comes Our next from question Rich Anderson SMBC. of

hear you me, Can everybody?

We can.

All right.

Sorry about that.

sort point but you Do from of that guess back line fighting that the where of you're -- time? business, talk And getting that? a and sense to is fine wave and saying, life when the force state and always that able constant people on, aren't I getting you you about you world back business in was getting COVID of the was do support get around declining And same Federal feeling is -- but this is that that have kind guess at we the fighting guys don't just tape I? I about to luxury. to sort there's I so sources. better as kind So you're of your continued and and perhaps

are. Well, at we're fighting but operators office, not corporate it the definitely our

the about... theme I think Rich, important

funds, them difficult get the to point? more is my making it hands saying, on I'm What environment for their is

get Well, Yes. They're like in check. our government their to that. the doing, looking into we've government additional be to they're in But as manage out as funds couple for Yes. they to their this. hands the on through not talked next check they'll labor be seem believe their years. And supplies to go last things government subsidy or that food they it operators put the can and looking they but and inflation not for have of It that is. really and related business for don't the check were concerned they're to overpriced

too, as assistance belief, inflation have rent Rich, government subsides, to mean, groceries. are the far going and there's as to that to look I think work going I is back as at people

as think to so at is, of through the the is come hopefully, a workforce, people belief looking how motivation And for go into are XXXX, we it. there's lot I back -- think the operators the I

expense more. if rate pay private the the and side And standpoint, muted side, this momentum occupancy there's of effects, side the on people on the increases good assisted been the labor in this been side, on I year I quarter work, little there's living a should fairly momentum And far quarter are the think to with first increases. have when think market. a the said rationalize get from back of the the mean, little Omicron was so so year I accepted increased costs. But you as, fourth which that and because primarily Clinton, a then the

or rate a costs residents increased increase. understand of think cost and they understand labor the across I and residents and increased families the board,

agency I And agency as that of cost which usage of well, the that forward, agency will think and help the reduce usage, has hopefully moderate staffing Rich. will going of hopefully, usage plus skyrocketed,

it pace And then there's of momentum, have the put variant kind start But get It's same they been of on some elected and been time in sources not housing. senior on they've seems pause. upstarts, There occupancy, which too. every of a like to increases side, boom. referrals lot the there's are at a in have had, as traditional been skill been postponed

one experience the side X little there's housing. same And behind that a that to us, been occupancy hopefully, and will have not Omicron has to a we So senior now new fits start that gains more starts. that and

XXXX, Unfortunately, I'm that in the that stealth how for funds? billion Or a flash it's hearing source thing The hopefully, you're out. see is Or that? in pan. well, about this what $XX of combination? plays Federal? that Is are the we'll that new state But a Omicron that's -- hopeful

Both and Yes. Federal government states.

Yes.

Yes.

is a part directly. and second first The add then the And have have yes. the and on, the the, pushed Federal kind out the the states it's of of lot government states of money COVID, allocated, it's sates as pushed to part

Right, right.

So pass-through, say. would I of guess, it's sort a I

Right.

it's has I quite that lot. important in that's because emergency a think though, health helped nurses to April the skilled continued,

around doing was is in world A some operators being you staffing bit staffing mentioned guys the What Can efforts more the of obviously, little shortages, around specific? -- question, a are narrative it. are you finding the address to mentioned are ways to undertaken it for country portfolio? address that be the least. your shortages And you at

looking they -- increases, it's at wage to inhaled. let's obviously, Well, compete, are

in can into consecutive Because big operators through attract do been how that to that item initiatives something and just have accommodate labor is I trying really listen they in schedules, we interest providers as as looking an flexible workers we've be as flexibility heard be state understand for operators accommodating they caregivers, that specifically how translate buildings trying focused add-on trying step how more that helpful. talk skilled big as to Michigan wage at, a split, direct whether is other lot attract and scheduling Michigan, is to schedules. it, can increases, which have far through they a providing You about. on such and would how staff flexibility to benefit beyond it's know to expand is is a which days, their

and moved for talk activity Last just It's point of is some maybe the also of simple a the to finance there. on real buy building some opportunity reflection a of opportunity as fruitful bricks-and-mortar I'm me. that fee the But well today. and is asset Clint, Okay. of is curious loan guys loan expertise good. all or that the if estate you have about interesting business up less you kind business view? just because not picking structured

has operators been that more challenge. been has our -- rent a challenge the further go to been acquire of to assistance, value-add. we've And rent -- date, to Well, of had some assistance provide something needs opportunities as to and buy have the

in finance just we because most us, reasonable to acquisitions So stack, it's at loan-to-value for ahead of case be now. into we're my date, generate loans. return we which risk-adjusted where But very active in that think we -- that. I meet there's we the hopefully, us to prepared mean to mentioned otherwise the a from turn Because in acquisitions. going for on or a if lot remarks. focused we're be companies for structured able equity way slipping for to mortgage wouldn't part, looking a for better able that's I it's And on and We're capital the a of there'll market. business the the opportunities

got out us development a active. looking so And just broker business And for opportunities. it community, with that's we've team makes more working the

next of comes Jordan Our question Sadler from KeyBanc.

the Just items a of couple some wanted surrounding to circle the of properties. on up transition other

about scheduled I Randall expectations first, basis. those. believe the guys bumps surrounding think so I those So first quarter. But -- anticipate like recognized Should still properties the on those SLC, are what a on X we portfolios? being guys and cash Encore, touched and to there are the you on

So bumps push expect if will you those that. first And that then quarter? should we through second, could the in confirm

they Jordan, be pay are able we they're are on that no to payments going scheduled. to their not a basis, they to and believe rent have yes, cash as and Yes, -- reason

entire initially that rents, hopefully I Jordan, as occupancy time seeing -- increases, for Randall. number was intentionally And are which we over to we increases. set Occupancy to gave, includes increases that occupancy it to we Encore, when that's the track associated

portfolios and they're mean XX%, I occupied. halfway year. now in low close stabilization. to transitioned the great They're are XX% this Those made Yes. strides to they've

trajectory the good. very is So

they I of good. think seem heard I numbers, Clint, stat? right to XX%, up those pretty end said the Can -- the Is you XX% that January. by you

That's correct.

as when And of? was XX% the

as XX/XX/XXXX. of It's

Okay.

pretty So up okay. good Any and -- they -- picked some occupancy.

to that come the I sense then be of other What California. million sort was sale? Why So And think we've X a separate repurchased, are of question. often repurchase slated situation one the Those in. was that least $XX.X sold? on in the supporting at got the a bumps should the assets

the And there our want of during may growing you just looking this and a don't It be at grow. portfolio operator, years intent come we course of number ago the investment was to the not with we're just an as pandemic. looking fruition see with that it growth hasn't and made operators opportunities, where mentioned, evaluating growth and for Wendy we're of to

And this on yield. and effectively selling X% so was we initial X.X%, a have an we're opportunity to yield sell that at our investment

don't premium, a of situation little operator redeploy capital. to we're we with an where it bit gain, that and sell getting growth see yield for opportunistic we a have recognize an can effectively a we the better it's a and So

the That timing one sense. And makes that on is?

end California. By X as second the in the quarter, the of same

are sort and there's the first Okay. us March, through just happening little what on type bit what sort many type the the tenants How already you and that the And then facilities of end that continuing of into that is? to? those And deferrals basis? a of tunnel quarter tenant of sense abatements light a agreements or deferral it is? can lastly, Or of if pertains give on of at the

can say, would completed of probably HMG, quarter-over-quarter to And operators to find we've subset XXXX. to as I as course of of resolution during you try it's some subset and same focused in as senior of private all on Well, imagine, care transition we've pay. a operators, the we're this our mentioned, capacity

of this resolution of ours in type some So forward. bring it to is now move focus and a

have those we assets. no revenue for Because

for revenue those our We no in assets have projections.

upside... So that's an

Okay.

you are and all deferring abating -- the rent assets, to a not fully You're of portion? related these

Yes.

it's an upside else everybody as recover, for recovering, they as us. is But

I assume mean, should these assets. information like I so are there so pay, all you those from getting -- are you it Is probably seniors housing -- sounds

cooperative. Yes, it's all

Yes.
