Regulatory and Compliance Risks - The company faces potential adverse effects from recent legislative and regulatory actions regarding federal Medicare rates and state Medicaid rates, which could impact tenants' ability to pay rent[69]. - Increased enforcement efforts targeting false claims and fraud in healthcare have led to higher civil monetary penalties and criminal sanctions for noncompliance, affecting the company's operations[71]. - The company is subject to extensive federal and state laws regarding data privacy and security, including HIPAA and state-specific regulations like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)[74]. - Noncompliance with privacy laws such as the CCPA could result in penalties of up to $7,500 per violation[75]. - The company and its tenants are required to comply with various state and local regulations that may impact their ability to expand into new markets[63]. - Regulatory changes could adversely affect the profitability of managed senior living communities and the values of properties owned by the company[62]. - The company has been subject to increasing inspections and audits, which may lead to sanctions if deficiencies are found[64]. - Compliance with federal, state, and local laws is essential for tenants and managers, with potential adverse effects on profitability and rent payments if violations occur[76].
