I will now turn the call over to Taylor.

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Thanks, Michele. Good morning, and thank you for joining our fourth-quarter 2020 earnings conference call. Today, I will discuss the pandemic and the related government response and support, our fourth-quarter financial results, the vaccine rollout, and our new Brookdale relationship. I again want to thank our operating partners and their staff, who've cared for the tens of thousands of residents within our facilities.

I would also like to recognize and thank the federal government and the states for their support of the skilled nursing and assisted living communities. The allocation and distribution of additional government funding, along with communication and evolution of clinical protocols has been critical in protecting and saving lives as we combat this unprecedented deadly pandemic. Continued federal and state government support will be critical for the skilled nursing and assisted living care settings. The latest round of CARES Act funding targeted operators that have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.

We believe at least $23 billion of CARES Act funding under the Provider Relief Fund remains unallocated. We are hopeful that new legislation will add to Provider Relief Funding and hopefully will support the industry through its 2021 recovery. Turning to our financial results. We are very pleased with our fourth-quarter results.

Our adjusted FFO of $0.81 per share and our funds available for distribution of $0.77 per share allow us to maintain our quarterly dividend of $0.67 per share. The payout ratio is 83% of adjusted FFO and 87% of funds available for distribution. Additionally, for the fourth quarter and in January, we collected virtually all of our contractual rents. We continue to gather vaccine rollout data from our operators and can report the following.

As of January 31, based on 92% of our facilities reporting in, 95% of facilities have conducted or are scheduled within the next week for first-dose clinics. The vaccination rate for residents is approximately 69%, and the vaccination rate for staff is approximately 36%. For most facilities, the second-dose clinic, which occurs 21 days after the first dose, will also incorporate a new day of first doses for those residents or staff who are not available or who are not prepared for the vaccination during the first round clinic. Turning to Brookdale.

We are very pleased to have established a relationship with Brookdale via the senior housing facilities and related master lease that we have acquired from Healthpeak. We believe that Brookdale is exceptionally well equipped to address the current COVID-19 environment and to prosper as we emerge from the pandemic. They have an excellent leadership team; substantial liquidity to sustain and grow their operations; low rate, long-dated secured debt tied to their owned assets; and valuable integrated home health and hospice companies. We look forward to working with the Brookdale team and possibly identifying new opportunities where we might partner in the future.

I will now turn the call over to Bob.

Bob Stephenson -- Chief Financial Officer

Thanks, Taylor, and good morning. I'd like to start by thanking our operators and their employees for their continued heroic efforts during this pandemic, as they are providing essential care to a portion of our elderly population. Turning to our financials for the fourth quarter. Our NAREIT FFO on a diluted basis was $173 million or $0.73 per share for the quarter as compared to $176 million or $0.77 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2019.

Our adjusted FFO was $192 million or $0.81 per share for the quarter and excludes several items as outlined in our adjusted FFO reconciliation to net income found in our earnings release, in our supplemental and also on our website. Revenue for the fourth quarter was approximately $264 million before adjusting for the nonrecurring writedown of straight-line receivables as well as other nonrecurring favorable revenue items. Revenue for the quarter included approximately $12 million of noncash revenue. We collected over 99% of our contractual rent, mortgage and interest payments for the fourth quarter and for January as well, excluding, of course, rental payments due from Daybreak, which is under a forbearance agreement and has not been making payments.

Our G&A expense was $10.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, in line with our estimated quarterly G&A expense of between $9.5 million and $10.5 million. Interest expense for the quarter was $56 million, with a $4 million increase over the third quarter of 2020, primarily resulting from our October issuance of $700 million of 3.375% senior notes due February 2031. Our note issuance was leverage-neutral as proceeds were used to repay LIBOR-based borrowings, some of which were hedged. As a result of the repayments, we terminated $225 million of LIBOR-based swaps and recorded approximately $12 million in early extinguishment of debt.

Our balance sheet remains strong. Throughout 2020, we continued to take steps to improve our liquidity. Our October bond issuance repaid $683 million of short-term LIBOR-based borrowings. At December 31, 2020, we had only GBP 74 million sterling borrowings equivalent to $101 million in U.S.

borrowings outstanding under our $1.25 billion credit facility and had approximately $163 million in cash and cash equivalents. We have no bond maturities until August 2023. In March 2020, we entered into $400 million of 10-year interest rate swaps at an average swap rate of approximately 0.87%. These swaps expire in 2024 and provide us with significant cost certainty when we refinance our 2023 bond maturity.

In the fourth quarter, we issued 4.2 million shares of common stock through our ATM program, generating $151 million in net cash proceeds. But we believe our actions to date provide us with flexibility to weather a potential prolonged impact COVID-19 on our business. It also provides significant liquidity to fund potential acquisitions. In 2021, we will continue to evaluate any additional steps that may be necessary to maintain adequate liquidity.

At December 31, approximately 95% of our $5.2 billion in debt was fixed and our funded debt to adjusted annualized EBITDA was five times. Our fixed charge coverage ratio was 4.3 times. When adjusting to include a full quarter of contractual revenue for new investments completed during the quarter as well as eliminating revenue related to assets sold in the quarter, our pro forma leverage would be roughly 4.99 times. It's important to note, we have lowered our leverage five consecutive quarters with the goal of maintaining our leverage at less than five times.

As stated in our press release, due to the continued uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, its impact on the financial performance of our operators and the extent of future necessary government support to our operators, we will not be providing 2021 earnings guidance. I will now turn the call over to Dan.

Dan Booth -- Chief Operating Officer

Thanks, Bob, and good morning, everyone. As of December 31, 2020, Omega had an operating asset portfolio of 949 facilities with over 95,000 operating beds. These facilities were spread across 69 third-party operators and located within 39 states and the United Kingdom. Trailing 12-month operator EBITDARM and EBITDAR coverage for our core portfolio increased during the third quarter of 2020 to 1.87 times and 1.51 times, respectively, versus 1.84 times and 1.48 times, respectively, for the trailing 12-month period ended June 30, 2020.

These numbers were negatively impacted by a number of external factors as a direct result of COVID-19, including a significant drop in patient census and a dramatic spike in operating expenses, particularly labor costs and personal protective equipment, or PPE. These negative results were more than offset in the second and third quarters by the positive impact of federal stimulus funds, which were distributed in accordance with the CARES Act. During the third quarter, our operators cumulatively recorded approximately $102 million in federal stimulus funds as compared to approximately $175 million recorded during the second quarter. Trailing 12-month operator EBITDARM and EBITDAR coverage would have decreased during the third quarter of 2020 to 1.53 times and 1.18 times, respectively, as compared to 1.61 times and 1.26 times, respectively, for the second quarter when excluding the benefit of any federal stimulus funds.

EBITDAR coverage for the stand-alone quarter ended September 30, 2020 for our core portfolio was 1.44 times, including federal stimulus funds, and 0.97 times excluding the $102 million of federal stimulus funds versus 1.87 times and 1.05 times with and without the $175 million in federal stimulus funds, respectively, for the second quarter. Overall, operator performance continued to be significantly affected in the third and fourth quarters of 2020 due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19. While the third quarter and the start of the fourth quarter of 2020 saw moderating of new COVID cases, the spike in outbreaks reported nationwide during the holiday season did not spare nursing home residents and employees late in the fourth quarter. Cumulative occupancy percentage for our core portfolio were at a pre-COVID rate of 84% in January of 2020, flattened out to around 75% throughout the fall months and subsequently dropped to 72.9% in December of 2020.

Based upon what Omega has received in terms of occupancy reporting for January to date, occupancy has continued to decline slightly, averaging approximately 72.1%. We are cautiously optimistic that the rollout of vaccines, which began in late December of 2020 and has continued in earnest throughout January 2021, will provide an important catalyst for improving occupancy statistics as infection rates decline and visitation restrictions begin to ease. In addition to COVID's negative effect on occupancy, the virus has also caused a significant spike in operating expenses, particularly labor costs and PPE. Per patient day operating expenses for our core portfolio increased approximately $40 from pre-COVID levels in January 2020 to November 2020; the latest stats available.

Turning to new investments. On November 1, 2020, Omega completed a $78 million purchase lease transaction for 7 skilled nursing facilities in Virginia. The facilities were added to an existing operator's master lease for an initial cash yield of 9.5% with 2% annual escalators. New investments for the year ended December 31, 2020 totaled approximately $260 million including $113 million in capital expenditures.

Turning to subsequent events. As mentioned by Taylor, on January 20, 2021, Omega closed on the purchase of 24 senior housing facilities from Healthpeak for $510 million. The acquisition included the assumption of an in-place master lease with Brookdale Senior Living, the leading operator of senior living communities throughout the United States. The portfolio primarily consists of assisted living, independent living and memory care facilities with a total of 2,552 units located across 11 states.

The facilities will generate approximately $43.5 million in contractual 2021 cash rent with annual escalators of 2.4%. Turning to dispositions. During the fourth quarter of 2020, Omega divested 16 facilities for total proceeds of $64 million. For the year ended December 31, 2020, Omega strategically divested a total of 35 facilities for $181 million.

Last, but certainly not least, I would once again like to recognize and applaud our operators' tireless, selfless efforts, particularly those employees on the front line. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to the health and welfare of our nation's most frail and vulnerable elderly population. I will now turn the call over to Megan.

Megan Krull -- Senior Vice President of Operations

Thanks, Dan, and good morning, everyone. Since our last earnings call, the $175 billion Provider Relief Fund was increased by $3 billion as a result of the $900 billion stimulus package signed in December 2020. Of that fund, approximately $23 billion remains unallocated. In terms of previously allocated funds still in the process of being paid out, as previously mentioned, on July 22, a Medicare-certified nursing home targeted infection control fund of $5 billion was announced.

$2.5 billion was paid out in August and an additional $2 billion was set up as a quality incentive payment program with payments based on a facility's ability to maintain a rate of infection below the county infection rate and a death rate below a national performance threshold for nursing home residents. Payments are made based on monthly performance from September through December. The September payout was made in October at $330 million, with the October payout being made in December at $530 million and the November payout just starting to go out last week. With respect to the Phase 2 general distribution announced in September, due to the fact that HHS hadn't previously tracked assisted living facilities, a lengthy tax identification process delayed the payout for many assisted living providers to December and early January.

This allocation was an application process for up to 2% of 2019 patient revenues from Medicaid, children's health insurance program and assisted living providers. The $20 billion Phase 3 general distribution announced in October was increased to $24.5 billion once all applications were received and reviewed. Available to all healthcare providers previously eligible for payouts, both SNFs and ALFs were able to apply. $10 billion was paid out in December with the remainder expected to be paid out within the coming weeks.

Payouts were based on the change in net operating income related to patient care for the first half of 2020 as compared to the first half of 2019, with a stated payout of 88%. That said, all previous federal stimulus money received offset these numbers, bringing that percentage down substantially for many. In addition to financial support, with COVID cases on the rise in the latter part of the year and the corresponding increased testing requirements, the federal government's efforts to provide more cost-effective testing capabilities through the distribution of rapid antigen test has been critical. Supplies provided by the government, coupled with easier and cheaper access to testing supplies, has provided for quicker turnaround of test results, and therefore, the ability to respond timelier to outbreaks.

It cannot be stressed enough how crucial the government support thus far has been to the long-term care industry during this turbulent time. However, even post vaccine rollout, the effects of this pandemic will be long-lasting. We are hopeful that the new administration will recognize the urgency of this matter and will quickly expand on support efforts to this vital industry. I will now turn the call over to Steven.

Steven Insoft -- Chief Corporate Development Officer

Thanks, Megan, and thanks to everyone on the line today for joining. In conjunction with Maplewood Senior Living, we have completed work on our ALF memory care high-rise at Second Avenue in 93rd Street, Manhattan. The opening of the project is pending licensure by the New York State Department of Health. We are in ongoing communication with the DOH and understand that while they are conducting licensure surveys, and it is reasonable to expect ours shortly, the challenges of the ongoing pandemic is understandably forcing a reallocation of resources.

The final project cost is expected to be approximately $310 million. The COVID-19 pandemic posed a certain challenges unique to senior housing operators, including increased costs, the challenges of managing COVID-positive patients and meaningful practical limitations on admissions. While they very much appreciate the help they have received, private pay senior housing operators have not seen the level of government support provided to other areas of senior care. We saw challenges to our senior housing occupancy throughout the third quarter, with variations tied to when and where COVID outbreaks were encountered.

However, we have seen evidence of stabilization and strengthening of census in certain markets. By example, our Maplewood portfolio, which is concentrated in the early affected Metro New York and Boston markets, saw meaningful census erosion early in the pandemic, with second quarter census hitting a low point of 80.4% in early June. That said, their portfolio occupancy had returned to 84.5% at the end of August and increased further to 85.6% in the month of November. We find this resiliency and occupancy to be encouraging, but still have a way to go before the pandemic-driven top and bottom line risk to our ALF operators is behind us.

Including the land and CIP at the end of the fourth quarter, Omega's senior housing portfolio totaled $1.6 billion of investment on our balance sheet. This total does not include our recent Brookdale investment, which closed after year end. All of our senior housing assets are in triple-net master leases. Excluding our 24 recently acquired Brookdale assets, our overall senior housing investment comprises 129 assisted living, independent living and memory care assets in the U.S.

and U.K. As expected, this portfolio on a stand-alone basis had its trailing 12-month EBITDAR lease coverage fall four basis points to 1.12 times in the third quarter of 2020. With COVID outbreaks affecting different markets at different times, it is reasonable to think that coverage may see additional downward pressure during the course of the pandemic before we see a rebound. While we remain constructive about the prospects of senior housing, the COVID-19 outbreak has warranted a far more selective approach to ground-up development.

While we make further progress on our existing ongoing developments, we continue to work with our operators on strategic reinvestment in our existing assets. We invested $19.4 million in the fourth quarter in new construction and strategic reinvestment. $12.8 million of this investment is predominantly related to our active construction projects. The remaining $6.6 million of this investment was related to our ongoing portfolio capex reinvestment program.

I will now open the call up for questions.

Questions & Answers:


Operator

[Operator instructions] The first question comes from Connor Siversky with Berenberg. Please go ahead.

Connor Siversky -- Berenberg Capital Markets -- Analyst

Good morning, everybody and thank you very much for having me on the call. Just to start. Curious about Brookdale as it was the subject of some lease revisions with some of your peers this year. So anecdotally, I'm just wondering how do those conversations progress with the operator as you near closing? Second to that, what does rent coverage look like currently? And then what kind of occupancy rebound might you be expecting for this portfolio as we look forward in the next couple of years?

Dan Booth -- Chief Operating Officer

So most of our conversations took place, obviously, with the seller, Healthpeak concerning the Brookdale portfolio. We did have an opportunity to have a lengthy conference call with the management team, but we definitely became comfortable and are comfortable with the management team and the prospects for this portfolio going forward. The coverage ratios were -- looking at them as we look at our overall portfolio on a trailing 12-month basis through September 30, the coverage was right around 1:1 with federal stimulus and about 0.9 without, as of -- once again, trailing 12 months, September 30. We do expect that to improve.

The occupancy has taken a hit due to COVID. We expect that to turn around. So I think in the latter part of 2021, we would think that this portfolio would rebound to pre-COVID performance. So that's a guess at this point, but that's our expectations.

Did that cover all...

Connor Siversky -- Berenberg Capital Markets -- Analyst

OK. Thank you. That's helpful -- go ahead.

Dan Booth -- Chief Operating Officer

I just wanted to make sure I covered everything, Connor.

Connor Siversky -- Berenberg Capital Markets -- Analyst

OK. Thanks for that. That's helpful color. And then just double-checking on pricing.

So $43 million in rents over $510 million acquisition cost is about 8.5%. Are there any sort of capex expectations that you're aware of for this portfolio?

Dan Booth -- Chief Operating Officer

Yes. As part of the transaction, there was a $30 million capital improvement line, which, obviously, we will spend it. It runs through 2025. So yes, we expect to put that money to work and improve upon these physical plans.

Connor Siversky -- Berenberg Capital Markets -- Analyst

OK. And then one more for me. Just anecdotally, I'm thinking about a read across from one of the hospital operators that reported earlier last week, seeing that admissions have picked up meaningfully for inpatient procedures. I'm just wondering if there's any commentary from your operators in regard to referrals to SNFs if that kind of dynamic is improving somewhat as we approach the end of the year.

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Connor, it's Taylor Pickett. I think it's just a little too early to talk about trends there, but obviously, that's a good one. And we haven't heard from our operators any uptick in occupancy as a result of that, but I would be surprised in a month or two from now if we don't know that. One quick thing I'd like to add, just to be clear on returns on the Brookdale portfolio, the $30 million of committed capex has a 7% yield attached to it.

Connor Siversky -- Berenberg Capital Markets -- Analyst

OK. Great. That's all from me. I'll leave the floor.

Thank you.

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Thank you.

Operator

The next question comes from Aaron Hecht with JMP Securities. Please go ahead.

Aaron Hecht -- JMP Securities -- Analyst

Good morning guys. Thanks for taking my questions. Wondering on the Brookfield deal -- Brookdale, if they offered you the opportunity to transition to RIDEA, would you take that? Or would you have to think about it? Where would you stand on that opportunity if it was presented?

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

So as you know, we don't have any RIDEA in our portfolio. And it's a model that we're not necessarily uncomfortable with. But I think from our perspective, the triple-net structure for this portfolio is the right one. So I don't think you'll see us looking at any type of conversion there.

Aaron Hecht -- JMP Securities -- Analyst

Got you. And what made this deal particularly interesting or what made you excited about it given the operating difficulties that everyone's having and that coverage was around one time with occupancy being pressured in the fourth quarter? Is it just a recovery play on new normal? Is there something else within the portfolio that you saw as attractive? Any sort of insight on that would be helpful.

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Sure. So you hit on a couple of points. Long term, meaning two, three years out, we think this portfolio is going to do well -- very well. And when you think about buying it at an 8.5% yield, that's pretty favorable pricing that reflects any perceived risk long term, which, frankly, we don't see.

We think this portfolio has lots of opportunity to grow cash flow. It's been successful in the past. I think the capex will be helpful. And then on the short-term side of it, call that the next couple of years, Brookdale has a great balance sheet, ton of liquidity, receiving government support.

And the facility portfolio that we've acquired has held up well through the pandemic. So I think you put those two things together and the strategy from our perspective, is completely rational in terms of how you allocate capital.

Aaron Hecht -- JMP Securities -- Analyst

Great. And then just bigger picture for Omega. Does this deal kind of mark a point where there's a shift at all in your preference for senior housing over skilled nursing? Or did you just like the package too much to pass on it? Is there a change going on there fundamentally?

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

The interesting thing is we had very little senior housing in our portfolio seven years ago. And we've grown that side of the portfolio every year since then, and we continue to look. So we haven't had a goal of becoming 50-50, but we're now a little bit over 20% senior housing. And I think that just comes down to the model of finding the right folks to partner with and finding opportunities where our cost of capital isn't -- doesn't make a deal dilutive, and we'll continue to pursue those.

So no shift in overall strategy, just a continuation of looking at that segment of the business and growing it with partners that we want to grow within the future.

Aaron Hecht -- JMP Securities -- Analyst

Appreciate that, guys. Nice quarter. I'll jump back in the queue.

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Thank you.

Operator

The next question comes from Jonathan Hughes with Raymond James. Please go ahead.

Jonathan Hughes -- Raymond James -- Analyst

Hey. Good morning. I was hoping you could walk us through the decision not to give guidance. You've already collected virtually all January rents.

The Brookdale deal was already completed and financed. And we've had other sectors, like office and apartments that are much more volatile, give first quarter and even full-year guidance. So I know your operators are dependent upon government support, but that's somewhat been the case for 20 years. So I guess, just could you give us some more thoughts and color on what's holding you back from providing any guidance?

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

I think it's just an abundance of caution in what could be a highly volatile environment. And when you think about the government support in this business, there are certain operators that need more support soon. And if they don't get it in the near term, they will have issues. And then I think the other thing that's important, Jonathan, is we still have -- for those operators that took advanced Medicare drawdowns, that payback starts April 1.

And that payback is just offset against your Medicare receipts otherwise. So there's -- those two elements of volatility that -- we're very hopeful that the new administration acts quickly as it relates to those two issues. But if they don't, we could see some issues before the end of the quarter. And so we're just very, very cautious about guidance.

And frankly, it's -- if you think about it, with the steady portfolio and our earnings in Q4, Q1 isn't going to differ much if we collect all of our rents. So I'm not sure that it's actually all that helpful when it's all said and done.

Jonathan Hughes -- Raymond James -- Analyst

OK. I guess kind of bringing up the operators that maybe keep you up at night. I know we've got a couple of large ones that are on cash basis. Did you get any updates from operators, where the auditors force them to kind of give the going concern language and flip from -- and would maybe lead you to flip from accrual to cash basis accounting? Or are there any operators on the fringe?

Bob Stephenson -- Chief Financial Officer

Hey, Jonathan. It's Bob. Yes. So during the quarter, we did move one additional operator who had a going concern opinion from straight-line to a cash basis immaterial, about 0.3% of our annualized revenue.

And we did write-off just $600,000 of straight-line revenue related to that operator.

Jonathan Hughes -- Raymond James -- Analyst

OK. That's helpful. And then just one more for me then. As we look at underwriting SNFs -- or you look at underwriting SNFs today, what's the most difficult thing there? Is it just lack of operators willing to take new buildings? Is it lack of sizable portfolios, overall uncertainty with that ability to pay rent, given there's concerns and uncertainty about the administration? The 3-night stay rule has helped, obviously, support operators, but it's made underwriting in a normalized environment a little more difficult.

And I know the Brookdale portfolio was a unique opportunity with someone you bought from in the past. But just curious, what's the biggest hindrance to getting SNF acquisitions done in this environment?

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Well, I think for starters, there's just not a lot of deals out there in the market. We've seen some, and -- but not a lot, and they've been pretty small trades. The other component of it is the ability to underwrite in this particular environment, right? You got -- you have to add back stimulus. You've got occupancies that have gone down.

All the things that we talked about, operating expenses have gone up. So you really have to look at either pre-COVID operating performance or projections going into '21 and really now into '22. So it makes the underwriting quite a bit more difficult and also anytime -- once you do get into the underwriting and you have to go to the next step, which is looking at your real estate having third-party reports, that's a challenge, having any type of third parties go and visit facilities and go through facilities with visitation rates such as they are right now. So underwriting SNFs in this market is challenging.

I think the biggest thing is just the financial underwriting of operating performance in 2020. You really have to do a lot of dig -- deep digging into the individual facility and the markets and where they were before COVID and where we expect them to be post COVID. So it's just more challenging, I think. But we're still, obviously, looking at a lot of deals.

We still continue to look at deals, and we'll still continue to underwrite deals. Hopefully, that picks up as we get a little bit more clarity on where occupancy rates are going to go.

Jonathan Hughes -- Raymond James -- Analyst

All right. Thanks for the time.

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Thanks, Jon.

Operator

The next question comes from Daniel Bernstein with Capital One. Please go ahead.

Daniel Bernstein -- Capital One Securities -- Analyst

Hi. Good morning. Just a follow-up question there. Just how would you characterize the general state of distressed opportunities for maybe seniors versus skilled nursing? You just made some comments that it's hard to underwrite.

And there's not that many deals out there. But are you anticipating more distressed opportunities in seniors and skilled as the year goes on? Is it -- are you hearing some rumblings out there?

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Really not as much as you might think given the environment we're in. And I attribute a lot of that to substantial government support that we've seen to date and are now seeing in the assisted living industry as well. So will we see the stress? Yes, I think at some point, we might, Dan, but I don't think it's Q1 or Q2. I think it's probably further out in the year.

Daniel Bernstein -- Capital One Securities -- Analyst

OK. And I guess, would you say it's probably more on the senior side than skilled nursing side? Because you made the acquisition of Brookdale assets, but then there's -- you had some comments there on why you're not giving guidance and it kind of gives me a sense that maybe there's some -- yes, maybe the -- I always kind of thought maybe the stress on senior housing would lead to more -- to opportunities there, but I guess I'm getting a little bit of a mixed message. Maybe there will be stress everywhere. Just trying to understand maybe where that tilt might be.

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Yes. I think it just comes down to government support. We still have -- the government still hasn't completed the payout of the latest round of $24.5 billion. There's $14.5 billion that hasn't been allocated, and a good chunk of that is likely to go to assisted living providers.

So I think it's just the unknown of where is the government support fall. And then if it doesn't fall sufficiently, how much distress comes out of that. I just don't think we see it Q1, for sure.

Daniel Bernstein -- Capital One Securities -- Analyst

OK. OK. And then the other question I was thinking about here is the Ohio Governor was proposing to buyback, I guess, $50 million of licenses or beds to reduce supply, given how low occupancy has gone in SNF space. And I don't know if you looked at that or other governors considering that.

But what does that do, I mean, if you reduce the supply out there? Because I know you put out some presentation showing if you go out five or 10 years, there's going to actually be not enough supply for the demographics. So I don't know if you have any thoughts or you've talked to operators about the possibility of selling beds back to the state.

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Two comments around that. One is beds in Ohio have traded for many, many years. You'll see beds move around county lines and where there's demand. So there's been a market for beds in Ohio.

And the $10,000 a bed price tag, I think they were talking about, is -- reflects market trade that we've seen over a long period of time. But I will point out one other thing that was mentioned in that article. And it's -- the reality is, if Ohio were to do that, they're going to be very careful in terms of geographies because there are counties where there's not sufficient supply or there are no excess beds. And that's going to apply across all different geographies and really isn't a new story.

You think about Texas with 70% occupancy and rural Texas in many places, even lower. So I don't know that that's particularly meaningful. And to your point, if you take beds out of service, it's very expensive and tough to put them back into service. So I don't know that we'll see that as a trend.

Daniel Bernstein -- Capital One Securities -- Analyst

OK. And then one last question. You've been doing a great job of deleveraging the balance sheet and improving the balance sheet. I guess the goal is to be sub-five, but is there a kind of a bottom on that goal? I mean, is it 4.5? Is it 4.0? Just kind of trying to get a sense of where you want to -- where you ultimately really want to go on leverage.

Bob Stephenson -- Chief Financial Officer

Dan, we've always publicly stated to be between four and five times. The sweet spot probably is about 4.75 times in that range. We don't get any credit if we're -- at one time, we're below four times, and we get no credit for that. So -- and I think running the business with a risk profile is at 4.75 in that range, plus or minus a little bit, is the sweet spot.

Daniel Bernstein -- Capital One Securities -- Analyst

OK. I'll hop off. I appreciate the time, guys. Good quarter.

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Thanks, Dan.

The next question comes from Joshua Dennerlein with Bank of America. Please go ahead.

Joshua Dennerlein -- Bank of America Merrill Lynch -- Analyst

Yeah. Good morning, guys. Just kind of curious on how the Maplewood portfolio is weathering the pandemic and maybe if there's any discussions around the Upper East Side building since it's -- I think, it's been about a year since they start paying rent on that, but it's still not open.

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Sure. Steven, do you want to take that?

Steven Insoft -- Chief Corporate Development Officer

Yes, sure. So from an overall, what I'd call, ex Upper East Side portfolio standpoint, census is creeping upward, as I mentioned in my prepared remarks, and even through January, it's over 85%. Maplewood has done a particularly strong job managing census and has marketed through the pandemic. Obviously, has cost pressures like everybody else does.

Upper East Side, we've got reason to believe from the communications with the Department of Health in the state that it could be a couple of weeks before they are greenlighting us. I'm somewhat hesitant to be overly optimistic on timing. Well, that's probably the best case when they do final walk through surveys. If everything goes well, I think, great, but there could always be a life safety matter or two that has to be remedied, which could delay a week or so.

So it's imminent. And hopefully, we will be talking about how many folks are living in the building come a quarter from now, if everything goes according to plan.

Joshua Dennerlein -- Bank of America Merrill Lynch -- Analyst

Yeah. Thanks. It's a great building, I remember looking at it over a year ago. So I'll leave the floor.

Everything else is answered. Thanks, guys.

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Thank you.

The next question comes from Nick Yulico with Scotiabank. Please go ahead.

Nick Yulico -- Scotiabank -- Analyst

Thanks. Good morning, everyone. I guess going back to the cash basis tenants, can you just remind us at this point what percentage of revenue is on a cash basis? And I guess, if we relate that back to Page 6 in the supplement where you guys give the breakdown in coverage. Is that also -- are those tenants also then reflected in this page? Or are they not reflected in this page?

Bob Stephenson -- Chief Financial Officer

Nick, it's Bob. So on an annualized basis, around 14% of our contractual would be on a cash basis. So -- and that's one additional operator since last quarter, but the percentage stayed about the same, as I said, because it was only 0.3% was the new operator.

Nick Yulico -- Scotiabank -- Analyst

I apologize. Did you say 14%?

Bob Stephenson -- Chief Financial Officer

Correct.

Nick Yulico -- Scotiabank -- Analyst

OK. And then as we relate this back to Page 6, right, and we see the buckets of coverage where certain operators have lower coverage. Are those -- is that 14% of the company reflected on this page or any of those get removed?

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

No. They're all reflected.

Nick Yulico -- Scotiabank -- Analyst

OK. Got it. All right. Got it.

So I guess -- I mean can you -- maybe you can just kind of square that away with us because I know you did talk about, in relation to the guidance, some worries about -- the reason why you didn't give guidance is because there could be maybe some operators having some problems if they don't get additional government stimulus. But if you're already -- I guess, if we look at this page, right, Page 6 in the supplement, where you have the two buckets that have lower coverage, adds up to about 10% of the company. If you're saying 14% of that -- of tenants are already on a cash basis, that would be more than these two buckets. So I'm just trying to understand if you face incremental pressure from tenants, have you already -- are you already accounting for that by virtue of the fact that those tenants are on a cash basis? Or is there some additional impact that we should think about that could happen?

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Yes. So -- and I'll have Dan jump in if has any thoughts about this. But the interesting thing is you look at Genesis is one of the big tenants that went on a cash basis. Our -- we're just a portion of the Genesis world, and our portfolio does reasonably well.

So as you think about coverages in those buckets, Genesis isn't in those lower two buckets. And I think Agemo might be the same. Dan, is that right?

Dan Booth -- Chief Operating Officer

Agemo. Correct. Yes.

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

So the cash basis decision was driven by the accounting rules, where the accountants are looking forward and saying, but for government assistance, the next year could be troublesome for these operators. And that's a fact. They just happen to have audits, where those are -- where the opinions come out. So I don't know if that ties together with where you're headed, Nick, but, I mean...

Dan Booth -- Chief Operating Officer

There's not a correlation between those operators that got put on a cash basis in the low coverage bucket. It's just not.

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

And Nick, just one other point there. Genesis and Agemo are 11% of the 14%. So there's the bulk up.

Nick Yulico -- Scotiabank -- Analyst

Got it. OK. And so maybe the other way to ask this is, right. So obviously, moving the tenants to a cash basis, there's a straight-line rent impact.

But can you just remind us where -- for the tenants that are on a cash basis right now, where they are on payment on a cash basis versus their contractual rents on just sort of a rough feel for that? Because that would, obviously, be the other incremental pressure, I guess, you could face is that you just have lower cash collections on those tenants.

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Yes. So it's -- as we stated, we've been collecting over 99% of our contractual revenue each quarter in 2020. And if you look at our AR, $10 million of contractual AR on our books, but that's really all mortgage interest, which is booked in arrears. So less than -- I think it's only a couple of hundred grand in total is true normal AR.

Nick Yulico -- Scotiabank -- Analyst

OK. Got it. That's helpful. Just one other clarification question.

When you were talking about the Brookdale coverage earlier, was that EBITDAR or EBITDARM coverage?

Bob Stephenson -- Chief Financial Officer

It was EBITDAR coverage.

Nick Yulico -- Scotiabank -- Analyst

OK. All right. Thanks, everyone.

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Thanks, Nick.

The next question comes from Omotayo Okusanya with Mizuho. Please go ahead.

Omotayo Okusanya -- Mizuho Securities -- Analyst

Yes. Good morning, everyone. Two questions from me. First one around Brookdale.

Again, I appreciate all the color you've given. Could you talk about the underwriting of the portfolio and kind of what kind of worst-case scenario could kind of occur that would still ensure that this transaction created value for shareholders?

Dan Booth -- Chief Operating Officer

Well, I mean we underwrote the portfolio, obviously, on a pre-COVID operating performance basis. We looked at how they had done, obviously, throughout 2020, and they had actually fared quite a bit better than the comparables. And then of course, we look to 2021 and beyond. And what it will take from a sensitivity standpoint for the occupancy, what they would need to go up to bring this thing back to coverage is more consistent with our overall portfolio.

And it wasn't material. So there wasn't a whole -- we didn't feel there was a whole lot of downside to this acquisition. We felt that looking out '21 and particularly into '22 that there was quite a bit of upside. You throw on the fact that we've -- as we mentioned, we've -- $30 million of capital committed, which we hope to put to work in the short term, which will hopefully translate into more -- into higher census.

Omotayo Okusanya -- Mizuho Securities -- Analyst

So again, just kind of playing devil's advocate here, Dan. If we did have a scenario where all these variants become the dominant variant, the vaccine is not very good versus all these variants, we kind of go back into further lockdown, occupancies keep dropping. You don't think there's any kind of downside risk at that point, just kind of given the rent coverage is below one time at this current moment?

Dan Booth -- Chief Operating Officer

Well, the one thing to bear in mind, Tayo, is it's -- we've got full Brookdale credit. And so I think at that point, you have to look to their balance sheet, which has huge amount of liquidity and a lot of long-dated, low-rate debt that's actually their own portfolio. So when we did our work from a credit perspective and thinking about what I think is highly unlikely, but that downside scenario, there's very little likelihood that Brookdale -- if Brookdale doesn't survive through this, then there's going to be a lot of other damage in the industry, enormous amounts. And I think they're really well suited.

And that corporate guarantee sitting behind all this is extremely valuable.

Omotayo Okusanya -- Mizuho Securities -- Analyst

Got you. OK. That's helpful. Second question, if you don't mind.

Megan's comments earlier on just about what was going on from a regulatory perspective, that's helpful. It's clear with the new administration, there's a lot of uncertainty. Could you just talk a little bit about, again, your lobbying views and exactly what they are trying to do, and what they're trying to achieve on a going-forward basis and how they kind of see things possibly are shaking out in regards to future support or further support for the skilled nursing and senior housing industry?

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Megan, do you want to address that?

Megan Krull -- Senior Vice President of Operations

Sure. I mean I think the American Health Care Association is still running the same agenda that they did with the prior administration. But it's really too soon to tell what's going to happen there only because folks are new into HHS, the Provider Relief Fund folks haven't been picked yet. And so they're still lining everything up, but it's a little too soon to tell.

But they'll still continue pushing the agenda for the long-term care industry.

Omotayo Okusanya -- Mizuho Securities -- Analyst

Got you. And anything in regards to a lot of the chatter we're hearing about home health, like this administration kind of preferring home health as the preferred post-acute care setting? Has any of that stuff kind of come up? And what are you kind of hearing along those lines?

Megan Krull -- Senior Vice President of Operations

I mean on the home health side, again, I think you've got a lot of folks going into home health who are COVID-recovery patients. So as COVID goes away, it will just be something that we have to watch to see if there's continued increase there. I think it will likely move back into the SNF industry.

Omotayo Okusanya -- Mizuho Securities -- Analyst

Gotcha. All right. Thank you.

The next question comes from Nick Joseph with Citi. Please go ahead.

Michael Bilerman -- Citi -- Analyst

Hey. It's Michael Bilerman here with Nick. So I just want to come back on the Brookdale transaction. The $43 million of rent, what does that represent? Is that a restraight lining of GAAP under -- for the next seven years? Is that current cash? And if it's current cash, what are the bumps that are in those leases between now and the end of the lease term? And maybe you can talk about what the renewal options are that Brookdale has at the end of the lease term.

Dan Booth -- Chief Operating Officer

So the $43.5 million is the 2021 contractual rents. Not straight-line. It's cash. And it escalates through the term of the lease by 2.4% per annum...

Michael Bilerman -- Citi -- Analyst

And how much does that increase? Sorry, what was that increase?

Dan Booth -- Chief Operating Officer

2.4% per annum.

Michael Bilerman -- Citi -- Analyst

OK.

Dan Booth -- Chief Operating Officer

And then Brookdale has 2, 10-year renewal options.

Michael Bilerman -- Citi -- Analyst

And what are those renewal options based on? Is that a market rent? Is it a negotiation? What's their right?

Dan Booth -- Chief Operating Officer

No, it's the current rent at that time escalated. So there's no reset rights, and it's at their discretion.

Michael Bilerman -- Citi -- Analyst

And in terms of the increases and the coverage you're talking about, I assume that coverage is a -- probably the last 12 months coverage. And I think you talked about being it close to one time. I would imagine that Brookdale got a bunch of stimulus that probably positively impacted that number. In addition, the fundamentals weakened throughout the year.

The likelihood is that coverage is going to get a hell of a lot weaker this year. How do you think about how you're going to book the rents in terms of this year? And whether you would have to take a reserve given the fact that the coverage will be so low in the near term?

Dan Booth -- Chief Operating Officer

We don't expect it to be that low in the near term. I think I quoted the coverages that we're seeing. There wasn't a lot of federal stimulus money going into house through September 30. Actually, we anticipate more to come out with what's remaining in federal stimulus funds.

So actually, that stimulus money should actually pick up for ALFs in general and for Brookdale in this portfolio, specifically. So we think that assistance will help. And then as we said, the occupancy of the portfolio was not hit as far as a lot of the comparables that we looked at in this market. So we don't think they fell as far as many, and we think -- so they don't have as far to climb back up to what was normal before.

So we don't see this portfolio diving into the deep end just...

Michael Bilerman -- Citi -- Analyst

Right. So your 8.5% that you quoted is a current cash on that $43 million on a GAAP basis. The yield is north of 9%? And that's what you...

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Yeah. It's about 9.2%, and we will book this on a straight-line basis as booked currently.

Michael Bilerman -- Citi -- Analyst

And your auditors don't want you to take any reserve, given where coverage or the trend line is on operating fundamentals?

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Not at this time. No.

Michael Bilerman -- Citi -- Analyst

OK. Nick, do you have one as well?

Nick Joseph -- Citi -- Analyst

Yes. I just want to follow up on the guidance question. So fourth-quarter run rate, I guess, was $0.81, right? So that annualizes to $3.25. I know there's some give and takes with the transaction activity and then, obviously, Brookdale, with their asset sales and equity issuance.

So I was just wondering if $0.81 is the right run rate going forward, recognizing, of course, kind of the uncertainty around rent collections and government stimulus going forward, but at least looking past fourth quarter, how to think about that $0.81?

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Well, I mean, you kind of said what the uncertainties are. You have timing of that new deal, you had Brookdale pro forma. I also stated that we're looking to continue to reduce our leverage. So the additional shares, if we have any, will impact that as well.

And then the asset sales. So I wish I had the crystal ball to tell you exactly that, but there are a lot of moving parts. We feel pretty good with the fourth quarter going into first quarter. And then beyond that, it's all those moving parts.

Nick Joseph -- Citi -- Analyst

Thank you.

The next question comes from Rich Anderson with SMBC. Please go ahead.

Rich Anderson -- SMBC Nikko Securities America -- Analyst

Thanks. Good morning. So when you look at the Brookdale deal, is there an element of distress there in your opinion? I mean if you put a six cap on that rental rate of $43.5 million, you get to $725 million value. Did that -- how much of that play a role in your decision to pull the trigger on this one? And also, were you offered more? Could you have gotten more out of peak if you wanted it?

Bob Stephenson -- Chief Financial Officer

Well, sure. From our perspective, we think long term that portfolio will have the kind of values that you've talked about in terms of six-type cap rates. And in the interim, you've heard all the questions about the short term and how you maneuver through the pandemic. And so I think from our perspective, the timing was right in the cycle, and we appreciate the balance sheet that Brookdale has.

Rich Anderson -- SMBC Nikko Securities America -- Analyst

I guess, I'm thinking in terms of, is it a trade? You essentially saw value that you can trade in and out of over the course of the next couple of years.

Bob Stephenson -- Chief Financial Officer

No. From our perspective, it's long term. But like everything, there's always a potential for trade, but that's not how we looked at this portfolio.

Rich Anderson -- SMBC Nikko Securities America -- Analyst

Could you have gotten more?

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

No. You mean other assets -- additional sales that they were contemplating or documenting?

Rich Anderson -- SMBC Nikko Securities America -- Analyst

Yes.

Bob Stephenson -- Chief Financial Officer

We didn't look, but most of them were shop, and we did not look at them.

Rich Anderson -- SMBC Nikko Securities America -- Analyst

OK. Second question is, when you think about this recovery post pandemic and skilled nursing versus senior housing, I imagine since you guys are triple-net that you're -- you think both will kind of have a recovery thesis, maybe equivalent to one another. But the fact of the matter is still got stimulus in senior housing, relatively speaking, did not -- and the perception will probably be that senior housing will be the winner among those two in the recovery cycle of all this. Do you agree with that? And is that why you're kind of getting more in the way of senior housing exposure? Or do you disagree with that? Probably your answer.

And think that it will be sort of equivalent on both sides in terms of the recovery?

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Yes. I think the one -- recovery is going to be driven principally by occupancy. And -- so to the extent that we have a big base of Medicaid residents in the skilled side of the house. I think the recovery rates as it relates to Medicaid and senior housing, those pieces of occupancy are likely to track along at a similar rate, where you have a couple of new residents a month, and it takes a while to fill.

Then on the Medicare side of the equation within skilled, which is a much smaller population with much bigger turnover, I think you could see a more rapid rebound. So when you correlate it all together, I would argue that skilled probably comes back a little bit faster because of the Medicare component. But that stable base of Medicaid probably tracks very similar to senior housing.

Rich Anderson -- SMBC Nikko Securities America -- Analyst

OK. And then real quick last one. The 36% vaccine rate for the healthcare service folks. Is that because they refused largely or it's just taking time to get to them?

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Megan has done some work around this. Do you want to talk about it, Megan?

Megan Krull -- Senior Vice President of Operations

Yes. I mean on the employee side, it's not that they're not having it offered to them in terms of these clinics that are happening. But I think you're seeing two things. One is refusal only because there's still a lot of education that's happening by our operators with the employees, and that's why there's a third clinic that was added on to continue that education effort.

But the other piece is we had a large number of cases in December, and you can't get the vaccine until 14 days post recovery. So that is playing into some of that as well. So we do expect -- have been hearing anecdotally from operators that those numbers are starting to creep up with that second clinic coming in and people getting the first dose during the second clinic. But it is still off from where I think everybody had hoped it would be.

Rich Anderson -- SMBC Nikko Securities America -- Analyst

It must be though frustrating though, you want to see these people get vaccinated. From your perspective, it probably is like, come on, throw us a bone, get vaccinated. But anyway, I think that's my idea.

Megan Krull -- Senior Vice President of Operations

Yes. But I also said I think on that -- I think as long as you get most of the residents vaccinated, you're in a much better position, and we're seeing those numbers go up as well with the second clinic.

Rich Anderson -- SMBC Nikko Securities America -- Analyst

Yeah. I see that. OK. Great.

Thanks very much, everyone.

The next question comes from Todd Stender with Wells Fargo. Please go ahead.

Todd Stender -- Wells Fargo Securities -- Analyst

Hi. Thanks for staying on. And most of my questions were on the Brookdale portfolio have been answered. But just when it comes to the asset sales, Q4 activity, and then I think you've completed some already in Q1.

Anything you can share about how it's impacting your top 10 roster? Any movement there? Just as I look at tenant concentration maybe coming down a little bit.

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Nothing of any significance, Todd.

The next question comes from Lukas Hartwich with Green Street Advisors. Please go ahead.

Lukas Hartwich -- Green Street Advisors -- Analyst

Thanks. Good morning. You touched on this a bit already, but I'd love to go a little bit deeper. The home health industry is really pounding the table that market share gains relative to SNFs are permanent and likely to continue to increase even post COVID.

And it sounds like you disagree, and I just would love to go a little bit deeper on what your thoughts are around those comments from the home health industry.

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

Well, so my first comment would be, this is nothing new. The trend of moving toward home health as much as possible has been going on for years. And so to the extent the pandemic perhaps accelerated some marginal patients, that -- I don't think that's problematic because it's a trend that we've seen, and frankly we need to see, given the demographic that's coming our way. And the idea, when you look at our facilities and the activities of daily living and the increase in acuity over the last decade, there are very few of those residents that you can pull out of that setting and take care of in the home setting for less economics.

In fact, I think the cost would be meaningfully higher in the home setting. So I appreciate the commentary around it, but I think it's all on the margin, and we've seen it for a long time. So does it -- if it meant 1% of occupancy, and I have no clue what it means, you're going to get that back very rapidly with demographics that are already here.

Lukas Hartwich -- Green Street Advisors -- Analyst

That's helpful. Thanks. And then it also looks like based on your comments earlier that there was pent-up demand for the Maplewood portfolio with the lease-up from around 80% to well over 85% occupancy in a pretty short time frame. So I'm just curious, do you see that elsewhere in your portfolio? Is that something you kind of expect in a post-COVID world to be common experience?

Taylor Pickett -- Chief Executive Officer

I think that is more to do with the highly desirable nature of the Maplewood assets where they have had waiting lists in many assets. And so as residents got more comfortable with the setting, they moved in, but that is the good news that we saw folks who had the opportunity to move in, who did. Because they had a need and they were on the wait list. So that's the good sign.

We have not seen that in other parts of our portfolio. I would attribute it to Maplewood's marketing efforts and waiting list.

Lukas Hartwich -- Green Street Advisors -- Analyst

Great. Thank you.
