EXPLANATORY NOTE

We are filing this amendment to our Current Report on Form 8-K, or Form 8-K/A, to amend Item 9.01, which was originally included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2008, or the Original Form 8-K.

We are amending and restating Item 9.01 of the Original Form 8-K to include the audited combined statements of revenues and certain operating expenses for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 of eight additional medical properties proposed to be acquired from HRPT Properties Trust, for a total of 14 properties, as well as the related unaudited pro forma financial statements for us which have been amended from the Original Form 8-K to reflect these additional audited results.

This amendment is limited in scope to the audited financial information and unaudited pro forma financial statements described above and a new consent of Ernst & Young LLP and does not amend, update, or change any other items or disclosures contained in the Original Form 8-K.  Accordingly, other items that remain unaffected are omitted in this filing.  Except as described in the preceding paragraphs, we do not purport by this Form 8-K/A to update any of the information contained in the Original Form 8-K.

Item 9.01  Financial Statements and Exhibits.

Pursuant to the requirements of Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X, this Current Report on Form 8-K includes (i) Combined Statements of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses for fourteen medical properties proposed to be acquired from HRPT Properties Trust, or HRPT, collectively referred to as HRPT Medical Properties, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (unaudited) and for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, and (ii) pro forma financial data for us, which includes the 48 medical office, clinic and biotech laboratory buildings proposed to be acquired from HRPT as well as other acquisitions we have completed since January 1, 2008 (balance sheet) and January 1, 2007 (statements of income).  Because changes will likely occur in occupancy, rents and expenses with respect to the properties to be acquired and because some or all of the acquisitions may not be completed, the historical financial statements and pro forma financial data presented should not be considered as a projection of future results.  Differences could also result from, among other considerations, changes in our portfolio of investments, in interest rates and in our capital structure.

Between January 1, 2008 and April 30, 2008, we acquired the following additional senior living properties from five unaffiliated parties (dollars in thousands):

(1) Includes closing costs.

2

We funded these acquisitions using cash on hand, proceeds from equity issuances and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Certain properties acquired by us, or proposed to be acquired from HRPT, are leased to various tenants, including Five Star Quality Care, Inc., or Five Star, on a long term basis under net leases that transfer substantially all of the properties’ non financial operating and holding costs to the tenants. We have previously provided summary financial data and other information for Five Star in our Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The remaining tenants with net leases are engaged in a range of industries including health services, insurance, biotechnology research, and pharmaceutical with no significant concentration within any particular industry.  The majority of these net lease tenants are privately owned.  Certain leases are guaranteed by affiliates of the tenants, and each tenant generally pays its rent currently to HRPT.  Three of the most significant net lease tenants, excluding Five Star, include Fallon Clinic, Health Insurance Plan of New York, and EPIX Pharmaceuticals, Inc.  Fallon Clinic is one of the largest medical group practices in Central Massachusetts providing healthcare services in more than 20 medical facilities throughout the greater Worcester community.  Health Insurance Plan of New York is one of the largest health care companies providing health care services to approximately 1.4 million individuals.  EPIX Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or EPIX, is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing novel therapeutics. EPIX also has collaborations with leading organizations, including GlaxoSmithKline, Amgen, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics, and Bayer Schering Pharma. EPIX is listed on NASDAQ under the symbol “EPIX.”

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees of Senior Housing Properties Trust

We have audited the accompanying combined statements of revenues and certain operating expenses of HRPT Medical Properties, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These statements are the responsibility of HRPT Medical Properties’ management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the statements. An audit also includes assessing the basis of accounting used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall statements presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statements were prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Current Report on Form 8-K/A of Senior Housing Properties Trust, as described in Note 1, and are not intended to be a complete presentation of HRPT Medical Properties’ revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined revenues and certain operating expenses described in Note 1 of HRPT Medical Properties for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO COMBINED STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN OPERATING EXPENSES

1.                         General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

HRPT Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust, (“HRPT”) owns and operates fourteen medical office properties containing 940,352 square feet of space located in San Diego, CA, Washington, DC, Decatur, GA, Pikesville, MD, East Syracuse, NY, Pittsburgh, PA, Austin, TX, and Fairfax and Norfolk, VA (the “HRPT Medical Properties”).  The HRPT Medical Properties are managed by Reit Management & Research, LLC, or RMR.  On May 5, 2008, Senior Housing Properties Trust (“SNH”) agreed to acquire the HRPT Medical Properties.

The accompanying combined statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Current Report on Form 8-K of SNH.  Accordingly, certain historical expenses that may not be comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred in the future have been excluded.  Excluded expenses consist of depreciation and amortization, interest expense and other costs not directly related to the future operations.

Use of Estimates.  Preparation of the statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires HRPT management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts reported in the statements and related notes.  The actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition.  Tenant leases are accounted for as operating leases.  Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease agreements.  Straight-line rent adjustments included in rental income on the combined statements of revenues and certain operating expenses totaled $1,588,557, $2,472,112 and $4,833,170, for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Reimbursement from Tenants.  Reimbursements from tenants, principally for increases in operating expenses and real estate taxes over base year amounts, are recognized when they become billable to the tenants.

2.                          Leases

HRPT, as lessor, has entered into non-cancelable operating leases at the HRPT Medical Properties.  These leases will be assumed by SNH when the HRPT Medical Properties are acquired.  Future minimum rentals under the leases in effect at December 31, 2007, are summarized as follows:

Leases are generally for terms greater than one year and for no more than 25 years and provide for operating expenses and real estate tax escalations and renewal options.

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, one tenant, The Scripps Research Institute, comprised 30%, 28% and 30% of rental income, respectively.

3.                          Related Person Transactions

HRPT paid certain fees to RMR in connection with its management of the HRPT Medical Properties, including property management fees equal to 3% of gross rents and construction management fees equal to 5% of certain construction costs.  HRPT also reimbursed RMR for certain administrative services.  Total fees and reimbursements paid to RMR by HRPT were $1,906,884, $1,725,985 and $1,643,225, for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  RMR also leases approximately 3,200 square feet of office space at one of the HRPT Medical Properties at rental rates which HRPT believes to be commercially reasonable.  Rental income received from RMR totaled $119,416, $114,752 and $109,334, for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Introduction to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2008, reflects our financial position as if the transactions described in the footnotes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were completed on March 31, 2008.  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2008, and the year ended December 31, 2007, present our results of operations as if the transactions described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were completed on January 1, 2007. The transactions described in the footnotes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements include our pending acquisitions, our acquisitions of 19 properties in the first quarter of 2008, our acquisition of six wellness centers in 2007, and the related assumed and actual financings of the acquisitions. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2008, included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the financial statements included in Item 9.01(a) of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The unaudited pro forma financial statements assume the acquisitions of 48 medical office, clinic and biotech laboratory buildings from HRPT Properties Trust, or HRPT, are financed with borrowings under our revolving credit facility, obtaining a mortgage for $150 million at 7.9% per annum and assuming three mortgage debts totaling $11 million on two of the properties.  We expect to eventually fund these acquisitions with a mix of long term capital determined based upon market conditions.  These unaudited pro forma financial statements are provided for information purposes only and upon completion of the planned long term financing for these acquisitions our financial position and results of our operations will be significantly different than what is presented in these unaudited pro forma financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of the transactions described above have been included in the pro forma financial statements.

The allocation of the purchase prices of the acquisitions of 48 medical office, clinic and biotech laboratory buildings from HRPT and the assets reflected in these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been based upon preliminary estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  A final determination of the fair values of the 48 medical office, clinic and biotech laboratory buildings to be acquired, which cannot be made prior to the completion of the transactions, will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets that exist as of the dates of the completion of the transactions.  Consequently, amounts preliminarily allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed could change significantly from those used in the unaudited pro forma financial statements.

These unaudited pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the expected results of operations for any future period.  Differences will result if the acquisitions of any of the 48 medical office, clinic and biotech laboratory buildings from HRPT are not completed as planned.  Differences could also result from, among other considerations, future changes in our

F-5

portfolio of investments, changes in interest rates, changes in our capital structure, changes in property level operating expenses, and changes in property level revenues including rents expected to be received on leases in place or signed during and after 2008.  Consequently, amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma financial statements related to these transactions are likely to be different than actual future results.

(G)       During the first quarter of 2008, we purchased 19 senior living properties with a total of 1,692 units for approximately $272,391 from five unaffiliated parties.  We leased these properties for initial rent of $21,800.  Such properties are leased to Five Star Quality Care, Inc., or Five Star, on a long term basis under net leases that transfer substantially all of the properties’ non financial operating and holding costs to the tenant. We funded these acquisitions using cash on hand, proceeds from equity issuances in December 2007 and February 2008 and borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $115,000.  The adjustment to rental income represents the full quarter impact assuming we acquired these 19 senior living properties on January 1, 2008.
