These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.At Senior Life Support, the number of smiles increased as organisational issues were addressed and employees hired in the previous fiscal year and new managers became fully operational. At Senior Home Consulting, however, owners' willingness to develop properties declined because of persistently high construction material costs and rising interest rates, leaving conventional support for new openings weak.
