Bill Sheriff, Brookdale’s CEO, said, "We saw the continuation of positive trends in key drivers of the business during the third quarter. We built occupancy every month for the last seven months and ended with all segments increasing for the quarter. Our senior housing rate per unit continued modest recovery and ancillary service revenue continued to experience solid growth. Entry fee sales were strong and, for the first time in two years, we had more move-ins than move-outs in entry fee independent living. We are pleased with the positive results this quarter and the improving trends."
