Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Business	Business Overview Healthpeak Properties, Inc., a Standard & Poor’s 500 company, is a Maryland corporation that is organized to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) which, together with its consolidated entities (collectively, “Healthpeak” or the “Company”), invests primarily in real estate serving the healthcare industry in the United States (“U.S.”). HealthpeakTM acquires, develops, leases, owns, and manages healthcare real estate. The Company’s diverse portfolio is comprised of investments in the following reportable healthcare segments: (i) life science; (ii) medical office; and (iii) continuing care retirement community (“CCRC”). The Company’s corporate headquarters are in Denver, Colorado and it has additional offices in Irvine, California and Franklin, Tennessee. Senior Housing Triple-Net and Senior Housing Operating Portfolio Dispositions During 2020, the Company established and began executing a plan to dispose of its senior housing triple-net and Senior Housing Operating (“SHOP”) properties. As of December 31, 2020, the Company concluded the planned dispositions represented a strategic shift that has and will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Therefore, assets meeting the held for sale criteria on or before March 31, 2021 are classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented herein. See Note 5 for further information. COVID-19 Update While the Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) continues to evolve daily and its ultimate outcome is uncertain, it has caused significant disruption to individuals, governments, financial markets, and businesses, including the Company. Global health concerns and increased efforts to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic prompted federal, state, and local governments to restrict normal daily activities, and resulted in travel bans, quarantines, school closings, “shelter-in-place” orders requiring individuals to remain in their homes other than to conduct essential services or activities, as well as business limitations and shutdowns, which resulted in closure of many businesses deemed to be non-essential. Although most of these restrictions have since been lifted or scaled back, certain restrictions remain in place or have been re-imposed and any future surges of COVID-19 may lead to other restrictions being re-implemented in response to efforts to reduce the spread. In addition, the Company’s tenants, operators and borrowers have faced significant cost increases as a result of increased health and safety measures, including increased staffing demands for patient care and sanitation, as well as increased usage and inventory of critical medical supplies and personal protective equipment. These health and safety measures, which have been in place since the onset of the pandemic, continue to place a substantial strain on the business operations of many of the Company’s tenants, operators, and borrowers. The Company evaluated the impacts of COVID-19 on its business thus far and incorporated information concerning the impact of COVID-19 into its assessments of liquidity, impairments, and collectibility from tenants, residents, and borrowers as of March 31, 2021. The Company will continue to monitor such impacts and will adjust its estimates and assumptions based on the best available information.
