Frederic, REIT's that specialize in medical include OHI, MT, HCP, AHE, NHP, CCT, GLR, NHI, HR, HRP, NHC & UHT.  Some or all of these have a portion in nursing homes, hospitals, medical offices, etc. I don't know what percent are in assisted living. One word of advice. If assisted living is effected by medicare reimbursements, be prepared for 15-20% pull-backs (buying opportunities) whenever congress tries to trim medicare by lowering reimbursement rates. Usually 2-4 months after one of these scares, the medical REIT's all rebound to their prior highs. Richard |
