Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]

We participate in a number of joint ventures, which generally invest in seniors housing and health care real estate. The results of operations for these entities have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition by the joint ventures and are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income as income or loss from unconsolidated entities. The following is a summary of our investments in unconsolidated entities (dollars in thousands):



	Percentage Ownership⁽¹⁾	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Seniors Housing Operating	10% to 50%	$	379,886	$	344,982
Triple-net	10% to 49%	9,459		34,284
Outpatient Medical	43% to 50%	130,042		103,648
Total		$	519,387	$	482,914

⁽¹⁾ Excludes ownership of in-substance real estate.

At June 30, 2019, the aggregate unamortized basis difference of our joint venture investments of $101,571,000 is primarily attributable to the difference between the amount for which we purchase our interest in the entity, including transaction costs, and the historical carrying value of the net assets of the joint venture. This difference is being amortized over the remaining useful life of the related properties and included in the reported amount of income from unconsolidated entities.
