In the senior housing business, the gross carrying amount of the in-place resident lease intangibles is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average length of stay of the residents: 24 months for assisted living and memory care facilities and 33 months for independent living facilities. If the in-place resident lease is terminated prior to the lease expiration, the unamortized costs are written off at that time. The gross carrying amount of the non-compete intangibles is amortized on a straight-line basis of 5 years as stated within the respective agreements. The gross carrying amount of the land lease intangibles is amortized over the stated term within the respective agreements, 74 years and 82 years.  The gross carrying amount of the PILOT intangible is amortized over the stated term within the agreement of 13 years. Other intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis of 13 to 40 years.
 
In the golf business, the weighted average amortization periods for amortizable intangible assets are 29.5 years for trade name, 7.8 years for leasehold intangibles, 7.7 years for management contracts, 4.5 years for internally-developed software, and 6.5 years for membership base.
