Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Nature of Business	Organization and Nature of Business National Health Investors, Inc. (“NHI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), established in 1991 as a Maryland corporation, is a self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing in sale-leaseback, joint venture and mortgage and mezzanine financing of need-driven and discretionary senior housing and medical facility investments. We operate through two reportable segments: Real Estate Investments and Senior Housing Operating Portfolio (“SHOP”). Our Real Estate Investments segment consists of real estate investments and leases, and mortgage and other notes receivables in independent living facilities (“ILF”), assisted living facilities (“ALF”), entrance-fee communities (“EFC”), senior living campuses (“SLC”), skilled nursing facilities (“SNF”) and a hospital (“HOSP”). As of March 31, 2024, we had gross investments of approximately $2.4 billion in 163 healthcare real estate properties located in 31 states and leased pursuant primarily to triple-net leases to 25 tenants consisting of 97 senior housing communities, 65 SNFs and one HOSP, excluding one property classified as an asset held for sale. Our portfolio of nine mortgages along with other notes receivable totaled $274.3 million, excluding an allowance for expected credit losses of $15.5 million, as of March 31, 2024. Our SHOP segment is comprised of two ventures that own the operations of ILFs. For this segment, as of March 31, 2024, we had gross investments of approximately $348.7 million in 15 ILFs located in eight states with a combined 1,732 units that are operated on behalf of the Company by independent managers pursuant to the terms of separate management agreements. The third-party managers, or related parties of the managers, own equity interests in the respective ventures. Units, beds and property count disclosures in these footnotes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are outside the scope of our independent registered accounting firm’s review.
