Impairment
Impairment	5. Impairment         No impairment charges on our real estate investments held and used and on our mortgage loans receivable were recorded during 2013, 2012 or 2011. However in past years, the long term care industry experienced significant adverse changes which resulted in operating losses by certain of our lessees and borrowers and in some instances the filing by certain lessees and borrowers for bankruptcy protection. Thus, we cannot predict what, if any, impairment charges may be needed in the future.
