• Senior living revenue for the fourth quarter of 2016 decreased 0.8% to $279.0 million from $281.2 million for 2015. The decline in senior living revenue is a result of decreases in occupancy, partially offset by an increase in average monthly rates to residents who pay privately for services. Management fee revenue for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased 21.7% to $3.4 million from $2.8 million for 2015. Growth in management fees was primarily due to the previously disclosed modifications to Five Star\'s management and pooling arrangements with Senior Housing Properties Trust, or SNH, that became effective on July 1, 2016 and to an increase in the number of Five Star\'s managed communities compared to 2015.
