The demand for services offered by properties in Strawberry Fields REIT's portfolio exhibits some seasonality. Senior housing occupancy generally tends to increase during the summer months and after the holidays, particularly in the third and fourth quarters. Conversely, winter months can present challenges for senior living providers due to factors like flu season and unfavorable weather conditions. Skilled nursing providers, which constitute the majority of STRW's portfolio, are generally less negatively impacted by winter months. Demographic trends, particularly the aging Baby Boomer population, are expected to drive increased demand for skilled nursing and assisted living through 2030.
