Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Events [Text Block] | NOTE 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In November 2015, Fitch Ratings issued to us a private monitored credit rating of BBB- with a ‘Stable’ rating outlook. In December 2018 and again on October 31, 2019, Fitch Ratings affirmed their BBB- rating and ‘Stable’ rating outlook. NHI has elected to make this rating public and to that effect, on November 4, 2019, Fitch Ratings announced a public issuer credit rating of BBB- with an outlook of ‘Stable.’ On the same day, S&P Global Ratings announced our public issuer credit rating of BBB- with an outlook of ‘Stable.’ The ratings from both agencies were provided on NHI as an issuer as well as on our senior unsecured debt. Our unsecured bank credit facility discussed more fully at Note 5, includes an option to shift from a leverage-based LIBOR margin schedule to a ratings-based LIBOR margin schedule.
