No.&nbsp;1 (this &#147;Amendment&#148;) amends the Schedule 13D filed on March&nbsp;3, 2014 (the &#147;Statement&#148;) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;). On July&nbsp;31, 2014, Brookdale Senior Living Inc., a
Delaware corporation (&#147;Parent&#148;), completed the merger contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the &#147;Merger Agreement&#148;), dated as of February&nbsp;20, 2014, by and among Parent, Broadway Merger Sub Corporation, a Delaware
corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (&#147;Merger Sub&#148;), and Emeritus Corporation, a Washington corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the
&#147;Merger&#148;), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the &#147;Surviving Corporation&#148;). As a result, the Surviving Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and the
limited proxy granted to Parent pursuant to the Voting Agreement, dated as of February&nbsp;20, 2014 (the &#147;Voting Agreement&#148;), by and among Parent and certain shareholders of the Company, has been terminated in accordance with its terms.
Accordingly, this Amendment is the final amendment to the Statement and is an exit filing. Where disclosure made in one Item in the Statement prior to this amendment was incorporated by reference into another Item, amendments made herein to any such
first Item are incorporated into each such second Item of the Statement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Statement. Except as amended and supplemented hereby, the Statement remains in full force
and effect. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><U>Item&nbsp;2. Identity and Background </U></B></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The total consideration paid by Parent in connection with the Merger and other transactions described in Item&nbsp;4 consisted of
approximately 47,583,887 newly-issued shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Parent. Each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the
&#147;Effective Time&#148;) was exchanged for 0.95 of a share of Parent common stock, with cash paid in lieu of issuing fractional shares. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Merger Effectiveness / Voting Agreement Termination</U> </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At the Effective Time, the parties to the Merger Agreement consummated the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement. As a result of the effectiveness of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, the shares of Company common stock ceased to be traded on the New York Stock
Exchange, the registration of such shares will be terminated pursuant to Sections 12(b) and 12(g) of the Act, and the Company will no longer be required to file periodic reports with the SEC. Pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement, the Voting
Agreement, other than Section&nbsp;3.4 (pursuant to which certain former shareholders of the Company have agreed to certain limitations on their ability to sell shares of common stock of Parent received by them in the Merger for a specified period
following the effective time of the Merger), were terminated at the Effective Time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Reporting Person beneficially owns 1,000 issued
