About LTC Properties
LTC Properties invests in real estate used for senior housing and health care, holding properties rather than operating them directly. It is best known for working with operators who run these facilities under long-term arrangements, giving it exposure to the senior living space without managing day-to-day care.
The company organizes its holdings into two groups. One covers properties leased out under triple-net arrangements, meaning tenants take on most operating costs and responsibilities tied to the real estate. The other covers senior housing communities that stay under LTC's ownership but are run by independent operators through separate management agreements, giving the company a stake in how those properties perform rather than a fixed lease payment alone.
LTC Properties was founded on May 12, 1992 by Andre C. Dimitriadis and is based in Westlake Village, California. Its shares trade under the ticker LTC.
