$1.3 Billion in Sales Give Welltower Options as Business Stabilizes Once shelter-in-place orders are relaxed and communities begin to re-open, Welltower Chairman and CEO Tom DeRosa believes the REIT’s operators will be poised to tap into pent-up demand. He noted that 80% of an individual’s health and wellness is predicated by social determinants such as where the person lives, nutrition, social interaction, transportation and safety. Health care, clinical services, procedures, and pharmaceuticals account for the remaining 20%. “For many seniors who live alone and are isolated, maintaining these elements of daily living are challenging under the best of circumstances and have been exacerbated by Covid-19,” he said. |
