Senior Housing Properties Trust

Senior Housing Properties Trust (SNH) is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, which owns independent living and assisted living communities, continuing care retirement communities, nursing homes, wellness centers, and medical office, clinic and biotech laboratory buildings located throughout the United States. All of our properties are triple net leased, meaning that each tenant pays us rent, and also is responsible to pay all operating costs, taxes, insurance and maintenance costs that arise from the ownership and use of our property.

SNH was created by CommonWealth REIT (NYSE: CWH) in 1998 and spun out to CWH's shareholders in 1999 as a separate publicly traded REIT on the New York Stock Exchange. We have been investment grade rated since 2010 and we are included in a number of financial indices, including the Russell Index 1000®, the MSCI US REIT Index, the S&P REIT Composite Index, the S&P 400 and the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT United States Index.
