It also evaluates acquisitions, dispositions, and joint ventures to keep the portfolio aligned with its investment criteria and operator relationships.
Reduces dependence on any single operator, property type, or region.
Long-term leases and loans depend on operator stability and renewal.
Asset sales, acquisitions, and transitions help keep assets within criteria.

Geography
Omega invests in healthcare real estate in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, with the U.K. representing a meaningful share of its investment concentration. Its portfolio is also exposed to state-level and local operating conditions, especially in markets such as Texas and Indiana, where reimbursement, staffing, and real estate dynamics can affect operators.
Risks
Omega is exposed to operator credit risk, because rent and loan payments depend on healthcare operators that it does not control. The portfolio is also concentrated in long-term care and in certain geographies, so reimbursement pressure, staffing shortages, local economic weakness, and regulatory changes can affect cash flows and asset values.
