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. Our share of the results of operations for these properties has 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)	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Seniors Housing Operating	10% to 65%	$	897,769	$	830,647
Triple-net	10% to 88%	68,643		44,814
Outpatient Medical	15% to 50%	172,114		163,582
Total		$	1,138,526	$	1,039,043

(1) Includes ownership of investments classified as liabilities and excludes ownership of in substance real estate.

At March 31, 2022, the aggregate unamortized basis difference of our joint venture investments of $147,598,000 is primarily attributable to the difference between the amount for which we purchased 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.

We have made loans related to 16 properties as of March 31, 2022 for the development and construction of certain properties which are classified as in substance real estate investments and have a carrying value of $371,061,000. We believe that such borrowers typically represent variable interest entities ("VIE" or "VIEs") in accordance with ASC 810 Consolidation. VIEs are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary which is the enterprise that has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts the entity's economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the entity. We have concluded that we are not the primary beneficiary of such borrowers, therefore, the loan arrangements were assessed based on among other factors, the amount and timing of expected residual profits, the estimated fair value of the collateral and the significance of the borrower's equity in the project. Based on these assessments, the arrangements have been classified as in substance real estate investments. We expect to fund an additional $184,926,000 related to these investments.
