Discontinued Operations [Abstract]

Discontinued Operations

(9)  Discontinued Operations

In the normal course of business, the Company will receive offers for sale of its communities, either solicited or unsolicited. For those offers that are accepted, the prospective buyer will usually require a due diligence period before consummation of the transaction.  It is not unusual for matters to arise that result in the withdrawal or rejection of the offer during this process.  The Company classifies real estate as "held for sale" when the sale is considered to be probable.

The Company sold Woodlawn Colonial, a 159-unit community located in Chula Vista, California for $16.0 million for a gain of $5.3 million net of internal disposition costs.  The property was purchased in 2002 as part of the John M. Sachs, Inc. merger.

The components of discontinued operations are outlined below and include the results of operations for the respective periods that the Company owned such assets, as described above (dollars in thousands).
