11. HEALTHCARE SECTOR OVERVIEW
SENIOR HOUSING - TYPES
Independent Living Community
• Seniors that can take care of themselves and need high degree of
independence
• Few amenities such as meals, maid service for additional monthly fee
Assisted Living Community
• Typically one bedroom with efficiency kitchen and bathroom
• More amenities such as laundry, dressing/bathing bundled in charges
Nursing Homes
• Extensive nursing and healthcare services similar to hospitals
• Staffed with licensed nursing professionals 24-hrs

16. HEALTHCARE SECTOR OVERVIEW
MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDINGS (MOB)
• MOBs lease space to doctors hence somewhat exposed to Medicare
reimbursements
• Expected to climb if Affordable Care Act passes
• Same store NOI increased 2.4% on average
• Vacancy down from 13.5% in 2009 to 12.4%; new supply slow at 1.1%
16
17. HEALTHCARE SECTOR OVERVIEW
RIDEA – REIT Industry Diversification and Empowerment Act
• Adopted in 2008. Represent 15% of NOI on industry average
• REIT leases property to TRS and TRS enters in to management
contract for operating the asset receiving a management fee
• Acts as bridge for collaboration between REITs and operators
• Opportunity for REIT to redevelop/expand and improve
operations of properties owned
• Allows REIT to keep part of building’s operating income using
Taxable REIT Subsidiary (TRS). Presents exposure to operational
risk
• ‘TRS 25% test’ limits a REIT to own upto 25% asset value in TRS
• Example: Ventas purchased Atria Senior Living in October 2010
under RIDEA structure. SNH intends to put most new
acquisitions into this structure
