What Diversified Healthcare Trust does

Owns senior living communities and medical office/life-science buildings, with senior living run by third-party operators.

Rents out medical offices and life-science labs for lease income, while in senior living it keeps the resident fees and pays operators a management fee, so occupancy and care costs flow to the owner. Day-to-day management is outsourced to The RMR Group under a management contract.
