Brookdale Senior Living Inc. ("Brookdale" or the "Company") is an operator of 685 senior living communities throughout the United States. The Company is committed to its mission of enriching the lives of the people it serves with compassion, respect, excellence, and integrity. The Company operates and manages independent living, assisted living, memory care, and continuing care retirement communities ("CCRCs"). The Company's senior living communities and its comprehensive network of services help to provide seniors with care and services to support their lifestyle in an environment that feels like home.

The Company has five reportable segments: Independent Living; Assisted Living and Memory Care; CCRCs; Health Care Services; and Management Services. On July 1, 2021, the Company sold 80% of its equity in its Health Care Services segment, as described in Note 4. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Health Care Services segment. For periods beginning July 1, 2021, the Company expects that the results and financial position of its Health Care Services segment will be deconsolidated from its consolidated financial statements and its 20% equity interest in the Health Care Services venture will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
