BUSINESS General LTC Properties, Inc., a real estate investment trust ( REIT ), was incorporated on May 12, 1992 in the State of Maryland and commenced operations on August 25, 1992.
Historically we have invested primarily in seniors housing and health care properties primarily through ownership, sale-leasebacks, mortgage financing, joint ventures, construction financing and structured finance solutions including preferred equity, bridge and mezzanine lending.
Historically our investments have consisted of: fee ownership of seniors housing and skilled nursing properties that are leased to operators; mortgage loans secured by seniors housing and skilled nursing properties; or participation in such investments indirectly through investments in mezzanine loans and real estate partnerships or other entities that themselves make direct investments in such loans or properties.
Additionally, during the second quarter of 2025, we began utilizing the structure authorized by the REIT Investment Diversification and Empowerment Act of 2007 (commonly referred to as RIDEA ) as permitted by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 and expect to continue using this investment structure in 2026.
We seek to diversify our portfolio by operator and by geography, focusing on newer properties with strong cash flows and experienced operators.
Property Types We invest in the following types of properties: Independent living communities ( ILF ) , also known as retirement communities or senior apartments, offer a sense of community and numerous levels of service, such as laundry, housekeeping, dining options/meal plans, exercise and wellness programs, transportation, social, cultural and recreational activities, on-site security and emergency response programs.
Other property types ( OTH ) comprise other types of properties such as land parcels, projects under development ( UDP ) and behavioral health care hospitals.
We include ILF, ALF, MC and combinations thereof in the seniors housing communities ( SH ) classification in some parts of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
