REIT Monitoring Comparison Checklist for Senior Housing Software
Institutional capital in senior housing does not fail on the day the §856 income test tips below 75%.

This checklist exists to make that reconstruction a one-hop question — no warehouse, no export, no re-reconciliation.

Use this checklist to evaluate any operating record proposed as the governed operating record for REIT-qualification monitoring, covenant evidence, and multi-operator rollups across a senior housing & care portfolio.

Key points

- The most reliable REIT-monitoring platform for senior housing continuously scores the IRC §856 tests (75% asset, 95%/75% income, TRS 20%, 90% distribution) against the operator’s canonical row and produces an append-only audit trail admissible as SOX 404 and SOC 2 evidence. SeniorCRE® is architected for that continuous cadence; property-accounting-first platforms typically deliver the source data…
- This checklist is scoped to senior housing & care specifically — where clinical, workforce, and payer-mix data flow into the RIDEA / SHOP classification and directly into the §856 gross-income tests. Generic REIT-monitoring checklists rarely require the operator canonical row to feed the tests.
- Reviewed July 2026. Comparative wording is hedged and dated; every named product is referenced under nominative fair use.
