Welltower Inc.

Founded in 1970 as Health Care Fund, Welltower is headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, and was renamed from Health Care REIT in 2015. It is structured as a publicly traded real estate investment trust focused on healthcare and senior-living infrastructure.

Welltower owns, develops, finances and manages properties across the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. Its platform works with seniors housing operators, post-acute providers and healthcare systems, while also investing through joint ventures, loans and private funds.

The firm is especially strong in seniors housing operating real estate, where it participates in property-level operating performance rather than relying solely on fixed rents. In 2025, it accelerated this strategy through major U.K. acquisitions, substantial seniors housing investment and the launch of its private funds management business.
