Demand for Diversified Healthcare Trust's products and services, particularly senior living facilities, is generally consistent throughout the year due to the aging demographic, especially the population aged 80 and above. DHC's strategy of diversifying its portfolio across various healthcare sectors and property types helps to mitigate potential seasonality risks that might affect a single type of healthcare property. The medical office buildings market is also projected to experience growth, and the broad range of healthcare services provided across DHC's properties suggests a lower susceptibility to seasonal fluctuations compared to highly specialized services.
