About Diversified Healthcare Trust
About Diversified Healthcare Trust
Diversified Healthcare Trust's 298 properties across 33 states include 212 senior living communities — independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing facilities — alongside medical office and life science properties and wellness centers. Two unconsolidated joint ventures contribute approximately 2.2 million rentable square feet of medical office and life science space that were 99% leased with an average remaining lease term of 14.2 years as of December 31, 2025.
DHC generates revenue through two channels: rental income from medical office and life science properties under NNN, net, modified gross, and full-service leases, and operating income from senior living communities managed through a taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS) structure. Under the TRS model, communities are leased to DHC's TRS entities, which contract with third-party operators who receive management fees as a percentage of gross revenues plus annual incentive fees tied to EBITDA targets. Following AlerisLife's wind-down in 2025, DHC completed the transition of 116 communities to seven new managers; as of December 31, 2025, 14 total managers operate the 212-community SHOP segment. The five largest managers by gross real estate value are Sinceri Senior Living (30.8%), Discovery Senior Living (23.7%), Tutera Senior Living (8.9%), Charter Senior Living (7.0%), and Phoenix Senior Living (5.7%). Lease structures for wellness centers and senior living communities are NNN, while medical office arrangements include gross and modified gross formats.

DHC's $2.4 billion in consolidated principal debt as of December 31, 2025, with $150.0 million available under the revolving credit facility, may constrain capital investment and acquisition activity. Debt covenants restrict additional secured borrowings and require maintenance of financial ratios; cross-default provisions across the credit agreement and senior notes indentures subject the balance sheet to compounding risk if any single covenant is breached. High interest rates, which the 10-K notes have significantly increased borrowing costs, add pressure on refinancing economics and expose future debt service to rate movements.
