Better Senior Housing REIT: Sabra Health Care or Welltower?

Senior housing REITs Sabra Health Care and Welltower are bouncing back from pandemic lows, benefiting from strong demographic tailwinds and supply constraints. While Sabra offers a higher dividend yield of 6.14%, Welltower demonstrates superior financial performance with stronger growth metrics, lower debt levels, and a more profitable operating structure that captures operational upside. Welltower's total returns significantly outpace Sabra's over both short and long-term periods.
