Business profile

Updated

Welltower is a real estate investment trust that owns, develops, finances and invests in housing and healthcare properties for older adults. It was founded in 1970, is headquartered in Toledo, and its chief executive is Shankh Mitra.

Its portfolio predominantly comprises 2,500+ seniors and wellness housing communities in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada. These include independent living, assisted living, memory care for residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia, continuing-care retirement communities, U.K. care homes, and age-targeted wellness housing. Wellness housing generally provides self-contained homes for adults usually aged 55+ who can care for themselves, while other communities provide meals, housekeeping, transportation, social activities, and varying levels of personal or nursing care.

From the latest earnings call

Updated

  • Shankh said senior-housing demand and pricing reflected occupancy gains, constrained capacity and a customer base willing to pay for services it perceives as valuable.
  • Tim Johnson said Welltower expected to fund approximately $6 billion of incremental investment activity, with most closings anticipated later in 2026.
