Sienna Senior Living Inc (LWSCF) is an owner of seniors' housing, a licensed long-term care operator in Ontario, and a provider of services across the full continuum of care.

The firm operates solely within Canada.

The company is comprised of three main business segments, LTC, Retirement, and Other.

LTC business division consists of approximately 34 LTC residences in the Province of Ontario, eight seniors' living residences located in the Province of British Columbia and an LTC management services business.

The group derives a majority of its revenue from the LTC segment.

The company was formerly known as Leisureworld Senior Care Corporation and changed its name to Sienna Senior Living Inc. in May 2015.

Sienna Senior Living Inc. was founded in 1972 and is headquartered in Markham, Canada.

Three key data points gauge Sienna Senior Living or any dividend-paying firm.

The key three are:

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

Those three keys also best tell whether any company has made, is making, and will make money.

LWSCF Price

Sienna’s price inclined about 15.75% in the past year from $9.81 to $11.27 as of Monday’s market close.

In the past 5 years, the company’s share price has ranged from $6.34 to $13.57.

However, the all-time high price of 15.43 reached back on July 9th, 2019.

Should Sienna conform to a little over the $1.00 average of one-year price gains made over the past five years, Sienna's share price could grow to $12.30 in the coming year.

LWSCF Dividends

Sienna has paid variable Monthly dividends since June 15, 2011.

The company’s most recent M dividend of $0.0543 was declared on March 14th for shareholders of record prior to March  31st, and the payout is due April 15th.

A forward-looking annual dividend of $0.65 yields 5.78% per Monday’s $11.27 closing price.

LWSCF Returns

Putting it all together, a $1.68 estimated gross gain per share shows up by adding Sienna’s annual $0.65 dividend to the estimated $1.03 estimated annual gross price gain, totaling that $1.68 amount.

A little over $1000 buys 89 shares at Monday’s $11.27 share price.

A $10 broker fee (if charged), collected half at purchase and half at sale, might take about $0.1125 per share out of the $1.68 gross gain to give us a $1.56 net amount per share to multiply by 89 shares.

That result comes to $139.15 for about a 14% estimated net gain in the coming year.

Furthermore, $57.80 in annual dividend income from your $1,000 investment in Sienna Senior Living is over 5 times greater than the $11.27 single-share price.

By these numbers, LWSCF could be considered to be an ideal dividend dog by my dogcatcher standards.

Therefore, you may choose to pounce on Sienna Snior Living as a 53-year-old monthly dividend-paying Canadian Long Term Care facilities company with an 11-year dividend payment record.

The exact track of LWSCF's future price and dividend will entirely be determined by market action and company finances.

Remember the best way to track stock performance and dividend payments is through direct ownership of company shares.
