About National Healthcare Properties,
About National Healthcare Properties,
National Healthcare Properties owned 167 properties and a land parcel across 29 states as of December 31, 2025, split between 37 senior housing communities totaling 3,615 units and 130 outpatient medical facilities spanning approximately 3.7 million square feet of gross leasable area. Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Iowa each generated 10 percent or more of the company's 2025 consolidated annualized rental income.
The company earns rental income from two segments: Senior Housing Operating Properties (SHOP), structured under the REIT Investment Diversification and Empowerment Act (RIDEA) so third-party operators run day-to-day care while National Healthcare Properties participates in operating upside, and Outpatient Medical Facilities (OMF), leased under net leases requiring tenants to cover most operating expenses. OMF leases carried a weighted average remaining term of 5.6 years as of December 31, 2025, with escalation provisions tied to fixed rates or the Consumer Price Index that the 10-K notes have often trailed recent inflation. The company internalized its advisory and property management functions in September 2024, ending its prior relationship with external advisor Healthcare Trust Advisors, and funds acquisitions and refinancing through a $400.0 million revolving credit facility along with Fannie Mae secured debt held with KeyBank National Association and Capital One Multifamily Finance.
Show full overview
Bad debt expense tied to tenant and resident defaults, including straight-line rent write-offs, totaled $0.7 million in 2025, down from $1.5 million in 2024 and $1.2 million in 2023, suggesting collections stabilized following the September 2024 internalization of advisory and property-management functions. The 10-K cautions that SHOP residents facing declining affordability and OMF tenants facing Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement pressure could reverse that trend, and that lock-out provisions on certain mortgage loans could restrict the company's ability to sell or refinance affected properties even if operating performance deteriorates.
