Pamela Shelley-Kessler, co-chief executive officer and co-president of LTC Properties, discussed the company’s 2025 priorities during Nareit’s REITweek conference in June 2025. She stated that growth is the top priority, particularly through expanding the senior housing operating portfolio (SHOP) and the newly launched IDEA platform. Kessler noted that LTC had converted $176 million of existing assets from triple-net leases to this structure and had hired a new chief investment officer to support a $300 million pipeline. She described the demographic trend of aging baby boomers as a "silver tsunami" and said the company views the current period as a favorable time to launch its senior housing operating platform, with the portfolio split evenly between skilled nursing and private-pay senior housing. In earlier appearances from 2020, Kessler discussed LTC’s approach to working with operators during the COVID-19 pandemic, saying the company first tries to support operators by assessing market conditions and offering temporary rent resets or restructuring when improvements are seen. She also described LTC’s philosophy as viewing relationships with operators as long-term partnerships rather than inflexible contracts, and noted that the company had closed two transactions in the prior quarter, focusing on shorter-term structured finance investments such as mezzanine and preferred equity due to reduced traditional lending. Kessler also addressed industry challenges, including affordability for future seniors and the need to integrate senior living education into university business programs.
