Commitments and Contingencies
As of December 31, 2025, we had contractual commitments of $6.9 million related to future renovations and technology enhancements to our communities.
The Company has claims incurred in the normal course of its business. Most of these claims are believed by management to be covered by insurance, subject to deductibles, normal reservations of rights by the insurance companies and possibly subject to certain exclusions in the applicable insurance policies. Where appropriate, these matters have been submitted to the Company’s insurance carrier. The Company determines whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. It is not possible to quantify the ultimate liability, if any, in these matters. Loss contingencies are reviewed quarterly, and estimates are adjusted to reflect the impact of all known information. As more information becomes available, including from potential claimants as litigation or resolution efforts progress, management estimates and assumptions regarding the potential financial impacts may change.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company was the prospective defendant in a pre-suit claim of negligence and wrongful death relating to a former resident at one of the Company’s senior living communities. While, to the Company’s knowledge, no complaint has been filed with respect to such claim as of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has deemed it to be probable that such claim will result in a loss. The Company maintains insurance coverage for this claim, subject to meeting certain deductibles, applicable policy limits, customary reservations of rights by the insurance company, and the other terms and conditions thereof. Estimating an amount or range of possible losses from claims of this nature is inherently difficult, particularly where litigation has not commenced, and the final timing and outcome of such claim is dependent on many factors that are difficult to predict. Accordingly the Company’s ultimate cost related to this matter may be materially different than the amount of the Company’s current estimate and accruals.
The Company has accrued a total of $6.5 million as of December 31, 2025 for all loss contingencies that are probable to result in a loss and reasonably estimated which is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, insurance receivables for these claims have been recorded totaling $5.2 million as of December 31, 2025, which is included in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets.

About Commitments Disclosures

Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.

Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
