[1]	Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the additional dilutive effect, if any, of common stock equivalents during each period.
[2]	ll outstanding options were excluded from the diluted share calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
ORGANIZATION	ORGANIZATION New Senior is a REIT primarily focused on investing in private pay senior housing properties. As of September 30, 2018 , we owned a diversified portfolio of 133 primarily private pay senior housing properties located across 37 states. We are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “SNR” and are headquartered in New York, New York. We operate in two reportable segments: (1) Managed Properties and (2) Triple Net Lease Properties. Managed Properties – We have engaged property managers to manage 132 of our properties on a day-to-day basis under the Managed Properties segment. These properties consist of 102 independent living (“IL”) facilities and 30 assisted living/memory care (“AL/MC”) facilities. Our managed properties are managed by Holiday Retirement (“Holiday”), a portfolio company that is majority owned by private equity funds managed by an affiliate of FIG LLC (the “Manager”), a subsidiary of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”), FHC Property Management LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “Blue Harbor”), an affiliate of the Manager, Jerry Erwin Associates, Inc. (“JEA”), Thrive Senior Living LLC (“Thrive”), Grace Management, Inc. (“Grace”) and Watermark Retirement Communities, Inc. (“Watermark”) under property management agreements. Pursuant to the property management agreements, the property managers are responsible for the day-to-day operations of our senior housing properties and are entitled to a management fee in accordance with the terms of the property management agreements. Our property management agreements have initial five -year or ten -year terms, with successive, automatic one -year renewal periods. We pay property management fees of 5% to 7% of effective gross income pursuant to our property management agreements with Holiday and, in certain cases, Holiday is eligible to earn an incentive fee based on operating performance. We pay property management fees of 3 % to 7 % of gross revenues and, for certain properties, (i) a property management fee based on a percentage of net operating income (“NOI”) and (ii) when eligible, an incentive fee based on operating performance, pursuant to our property management agreements with other managers. On May 9, 2018, we entered into a lease termination agreement to terminate our triple net leases with affiliates of Holiday relating to 51 IL properties (the “Holiday Portfolio”). The lease termination was effective May 14, 2018 (the “Lease Termination”). Concurrently with the Lease Termination, we entered into property management agreements with Holiday to manage the properties in the Holiday Portfolio following the Lease Termination in exchange for a property management fee. As a result, such properties are now included in the Managed Properties segment. Refer to Note 3 for additional details related to the Lease Termination. Triple Net Lease Properties – We own one Continuing Care Retirement Community (“CCRC”) in the United States and lease this property to a healthcare operating company under a triple net lease agreement. In a triple net lease arrangement, the lessee agrees to operate and maintain the property at its own expense, including maintenance, utilities, taxes, insurance, repairs, capital improvements and the payroll expense of property-level employees. Our triple net lease agreement has an initial term of 15 years and includes a renewal option and annual rent increases ranging from 2.75 % to 3.25 %.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTI

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	9 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP’’) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of New Senior and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. We consolidate those entities in which we have control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 , as filed with the SEC. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. Use of Estimates Management is required to make estimates and assumptions when preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from management’s estimates. Significant Accounting Policies There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 . Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) using the modified retrospective method of adoption. This standard requires revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for those goods or services. The adoption did not result in an adjustment to beginning retained earnings and did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. Substantially all of our revenue has been generated through our triple net lease and managed property leasing arrangements, which are specifically excluded from ASC 606, and are accounted for under other applicable GAAP standards. We account for ancillary revenue under ASC 606. The timing and pattern of revenue recognition of our ancillary revenue under ASC 606 is consistent with that under the prior accounting model. Additionally, real estate sales are within the scope of ASC 606, as amended by ASU 2017-05, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASU 2017-05”). ASU 2017-05 clarifies the scope of subtopic 610-20, Other Income - Gains and Losses from Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, and adds guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. Under these models, income recognition for real estate sales is largely based on the transfer of control versus continuing involvement under the current guidance. As a result, more transactions may qualify as sales of real estate and gains or losses may be recognized earlier. Sales of our real estate are generally not executory across points in time and our performance obligations from these contracts are expected to fall within a single period. On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash , which requires that the statement of cash flows include a reconciliation and explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This standard impacts the presentation of our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as activity between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash is no longer presented in our operating, financing or investing activities. Upon adoption, the changes in classification within the statement of cash flows is applied retrospectively to all periods presented. As a result of the retrospective application, our net cash provided by operating activities increased by $ 6.8 million and our net cash provided by investing activities decreased by $ 4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments , which provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are to be presented and classified on the statement of cash flows. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases . This standard amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The effective date of the standard will be for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We expect to elect the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We continue to assess the guidance and the impact it may have on our consolidated financial statements and have initiated a review to identify embedded leases as well as non-lease components, if any, in our lease agreements. We currently believe the most significant effects relate to (1) the recognition of new right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheets for our operating leases where we are the lessee and (2) providing new disclosures about our leasing activities. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . This standard replaces the current incurred loss methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. Under this methodology, a company would recognize an impairment allowance equal to its current estimate of all contractual cash flows that it does not expect to collect from financial assets measured at amortized cost. The effective date of the standard will be for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted beginning after December 15, 2018. We are assessing the impact this guidance may have on our consolidated financial statements.

LEASE TERMINATION AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH HOLIDAY [Abstract]
Unusual or Infrequent Items, or Both, Disclosure [Text Block]	LEASE TERMINATION On May 9, 2018, we entered into a lease termination agreement with affiliates of Holiday to terminate our triple net leases relating to the Holiday Portfolio. The Lease Termination was effective May 14, 2018. We received total consideration of $115.6 million , including a $70.0 million termination payment and retention of $45.6 million in security deposits held by us. In connection with the Lease Termination, we also assumed ownership of certain furniture, fixtures, equipment and other improvements with a fair market value of $10.1 million . As a result of the Lease Termination, we recognized a gain on lease termination of $40.1 million after adjusting for write-offs of straight-line rent receivables of $84.3 million and net above-market rent lease intangible assets of $1.2 million . Concurrently with the Lease Termination, we entered into property management agreements with Holiday pursuant to which we pay a management fee equal to a monthly base fee in the amount of 5% of effective gross income in the first year of the term and 4.5% of effective gross income for the remainder of the term. In addition, Holiday is eligible to earn an annual incentive fee of up to 2% of effective gross income if the Holiday Portfolio achieves certain performance thresholds. The agreements may be terminated without penalty after the first year of the term.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we sold two AL/MC and two IL properties in the Managed Properties segment for a combined sale price of $ 48.5 million , and recognized a gain on sale of $ 22.5 million , net of selling costs which is included in “Gain on sale of real estate” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In connection with this sale, we repaid $ 28.0 million of debt.

SEGMENT REPORTING

SEGMENT REPORTING	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2018
Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT REPORTING	SEGMENT REPORTING We operate in two reportable business segments: Managed Properties and Triple Net Lease Properties. Under our Managed Properties segment, we invest in senior housing properties throughout the United States and engage property managers to manage those senior housing properties. Under our Triple Net Lease Properties segment, we invest in senior housing and healthcare properties throughout the United States and lease those properties to healthcare operating companies under triple net leases that obligate the tenants to pay all property-related expenses, including maintenance, utilities, taxes, insurance, repairs, capital improvements and the payroll expense of property-level employees. We evaluate performance of the combined properties in each reportable business segment based on segment NOI. We define NOI as total revenues less property-level operating expenses, which include property management fees and travel cost reimbursements. We believe that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measurement. However, we believe that segment NOI serves as a useful supplement to net income because it allows investors, analysts and management to measure unlevered property-level operating results and to compare our operating results between periods and to the operating results of other real estate companies on a consistent basis. Segment NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Effective May 14, 2018, we terminated our triple net leases with respect to the properties in the Holiday Portfolio and concurrently entered into property management agreements with Holiday with respect to such properties. The NOI for such properties following the Lease Termination has been included in the Managed Properties segment. This resulted in a significant increase in the segment NOI of the Managed Properties with a corresponding decrease in the segment NOI of the Triple Net Lease Properties during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 . In addition, assets related to such properties are included in the Managed Properties segment as of September 30, 2018 , resulting in a significant increase in the Managed Properties segment assets, and a corresponding decrease in the Triple Net Lease Properties segment assets as of September 30, 2018 .

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , we wrote-off $254.2 million of fully amortized in-place lease and other intangible assets. We evaluated long-lived assets, primarily consisting of our real estate investments, for impairment indicators. In performing this evaluation, market conditions and our current intentions with respect to holding or disposing of the asset are considered. Where indicators of impairment are present, we evaluated whether the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than book value. Based on such assessment, the future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying operations exceeds the carrying value of such real estate investments, including definite lived intangible assets. Therefore, we did not recognize any impairment loss during the periods presented. Impact of hurricanes The Company has completed an initial assessment of the financial impact of Hurricane Florence. The Company operates six communities in areas impacted by Hurricane Florence. These communities have not sustained material damage to date. During the third quarter of 2018, the Company recognized $0.6 million for damage remediation and other incremental costs which are included in “Other expense” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company does not expect additional remediation costs in subsequent periods to be material. During the third quarter of 2017, the Company recognized $1.5 million for damage remediation and other incremental costs for 25 properties impacted by Hurricane Irma, which are included in “Other expense” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

STRAIGHT-LINE RENT RECEIVABLES [Abstract]
STRAIGHT-LINE RENT RECEIVABLES	STRAIGHT-LINE RENT RECEIVABLES Rental revenue from the Triple Net Lease Properties segment is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable term of the lease when collectability is reasonably assured. Recognizing rental revenue on a straight-line basis typically results in recognizing revenue in excess of cash amounts contractually due from our tenants during the first half of the lease term, creating a straight-line rent receivable. Our straight-line rent receivables were $ 3.3 million and $ 82.4 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. The decrease in straight-line rent receivables is due to the write-off of $84.3 million in conjunction with the Lease Termination, effective as of May 14, 2018, and is included in the “Gain on lease termination” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 3 for additional details related to the Lease Termination. We assess the collectability of straight-line rent receivables on an ongoing basis. This assessment is based on several qualitative and quantitative factors, including and as appropriate, the payment history of the triple net lease tenant, the tenant’s ability to satisfy its lease obligations, the value of the underlying collateral or deposit, if any, and current economic conditions. We considered the timeliness of lease payments, compliance with lease terms, security and other deposits posted by the tenant and collateral provided by the lease guarantor and determined no reserve was necessary for the periods presented.

(D) The amounts as of December 31, 2017 represent loans under previous terms, which were refinanced and replaced in May 2018. See below for further information. (E) We have an option to extend the maturity date to April 2020, subject to a fee of 0.125 % of the then-outstanding principal balance. The carrying value of the collateral relating to the fixed rate and floating rate mortgages was $ 0.6 billion and $ 1.6 billion as of September 30, 2018 and $1.5 billion and $0.8 billion as of December 31, 2017 , respectively. The fair values of mortgage notes payable as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $ 1.9 billion and $ 1.9 billion , respectively. Mortgage notes payable are not measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The disclosed fair value of mortgage notes payable, classified as level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, is based on a discounted cash flow valuation model. Significant inputs in the model include amounts and timing of expected future cash flows and market yields which are constructed based on inputs implied from similar debt offerings. In May 2018, we repaid $663.8 million of secured loans in conjunction with the Lease Termination. We recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $58.5 million , comprised of $51.9 million in prepayment penalties and $6.6 million in the write-off of deferred financing costs on the loans. The repayment was facilitated by a one-year secured term loan of $720.0 million (the “Term Loan”). We incurred a total of $12.3 million in deferred financing costs, which have been capitalized and amortized over the life of the Term Loan and the amortization is included in interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Deferred financing costs are reported as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related mortgage notes payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In February 2018, we exercised an option to extend a balloon payment of $50.7 million from April 2018 to April 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we repaid $ 28.0 million of debt associated with the sale of two AL/MC and two IL properties in the Managed Properties segment and recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $ 0.7 million , which represents the write-off of related unamortized deferred financing costs and other exit fees. Our mortgage notes payable contain various customary financial and other covenants, in some cases including Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Project Yield, as defined in the agreements. We were in compliance with the covenants in our mortgage notes payable agreements as of September 30, 2018 . Interest rate caps In May 2018, we paid $0.1 million to enter into an interest rate cap on the Term Loan, which caps LIBOR at 3.50% , has a notional value of $720.0 million and is effective through May 2019. In March 2018, we paid $0.3 million to renew an interest rate cap on our floating rate debt, which caps LIBOR at 3.66% , has a notional value of $591.2 million and is effective through April 2020. Our interest rate caps are level 2 instruments and we estimate the fair value based on pricing models that consider inputs including forward yield curves, cap strike rates, cap volatility and discount rates. We recognized fair value losses of $ 0.1 million and $ 0.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, and $ 0.3 million and $ 0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, which are included in “Other expense” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and “Other non-cash expense” in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The fair value was $ 0.1 million as of September 30, 2018 and is included in “Receivables and other assets, net” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES	TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Management Agreements We are party to a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Manager, under which the Manager advises us on various aspects of our business and manages our day-to-day operations, subject to the supervision of our board of directors. For its management services, the Manager is entitled to a base management fee of 1.5 % per annum of our gross equity. Gross equity is generally defined as the equity invested by Drive Shack Inc. (“Drive Shack”) (including cash contributed to us) as of the completion of the spin-off from Drive Shack, plus the aggregate offering price from stock offerings, plus certain capital contributions to subsidiaries, less capital distributions (calculated without regard to depreciation and amortization) and repurchases of common stock, calculated and payable monthly in arrears in cash. We incurred management fees of $ 3.7 million and $ 3.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, and $ 11.1 million and $ 11.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, under the Management Agreement, which are included in “Management fees and incentive compensation to affiliate” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , we had a payable for management fees of $ 3.7 million and $ 1.3 million , respectively, which is included in “Due to affiliates” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Manager is entitled to receive, on a quarterly basis, incentive compensation on a cumulative, but not compounding basis, in an amount equal to the product of (A) 25 % of the dollar amount by which (1)(a) funds from operations (as defined in the Management Agreement) before the incentive compensation per share of common stock, plus (b) gains (or losses) from sales of property per share of common stock, plus (c) internal and third party acquisition-related expenses, plus (d) unconsummated transaction expenses, and plus (e) other non-routine items (as defined in the Management Agreement), exceed (2) an amount equal to (a) the weighted average value per share of the equity invested by Drive Shack in the assets of New Senior (including cash contributed to us) as of the completion of the spin-off and the price per share of our common stock in any offerings by us (adjusted for prior capital dividends or capital distributions, which shall be calculated without regard to depreciation and amortization and repurchases of common stock) multiplied by (b) a simple interest rate of 10 % per annum, multiplied by (B) the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The Manager did not earn incentive compensation during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the three months ended September 30, 2017 . The Manager earned incentive compensation of $2.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , which is included in “Management fees and incentive compensation to affiliate” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Manager is also entitled to receive, upon the successful completion of an equity offering, options with respect to 10% of the number of shares sold in the offering with an exercise price equal to the price paid by the purchaser in the offering. Because the Manager’s employees perform certain legal, accounting, due diligence, asset management and other services that outside professionals or outside consultants otherwise would perform, the Manager is paid or reimbursed, pursuant to the Management Agreement, for the cost of performing such tasks, provided that such costs and reimbursements are no greater than those which would be paid to outside professionals or consultants on an arm’s-length basis. We are also required to pay all operating expenses, except those specifically required to be borne by the Manager under the Management Agreement. We are required to pay expenses that include, but are not limited to, issuance and transaction costs incidental to the sourcing, evaluation, acquisition, management, disposition, and financing of our investments, legal, underwriting, sourcing, asset management and accounting and auditing fees and expenses, the compensation and expenses of independent directors, the costs associated with the establishment and maintenance of any credit facilities and other indebtedness (including commitment fees, legal fees, closing costs, etc.), expenses associated with other securities offerings, the costs of printing and mailing proxies and reports to our stockholders, costs incurred by employees or agents of the Manager for travel on our behalf, costs associated with any computer software or hardware that is used by us, costs to obtain liability insurance to indemnify directors and officers and the compensation and expenses of our transfer agent. The following table summarizes our reimbursement to the Manager for costs incurred for tasks and other services performed by the Manager under the Management Agreement: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Included in: General and administrative expense $ 1,463 $ 1,723 $ 4,734 $ 5,630 Acquisition, transaction and integration expense 206 494 1,054 1,144 Total reimbursements to the Manager $ 1,669 $ 2,217 $ 5,788 $ 6,774 As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , we had a payable for Manager reimbursements of $ 2.0 million and $ 1.3 million , respectively, which is included in “Due to affiliates” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Property Management Agreements Within our Managed Properties segment, we are party to property management agreements with Blue Harbor, an affiliate of Fortress, and Holiday, a portfolio company that is majority owned by a private equity fund managed by an affiliate of Fortress, to manage most of its senior housing properties. Pursuant to these property management agreements, we pay monthly property management fees. For AL/MC properties managed by Blue Harbor and Holiday, we pay management fees equal to 6 % of effective gross income for the first two years and 7 % thereafter. For IL properties managed by Blue Harbor and Holiday, we generally pay management fees equal to 5 % of effective gross income. For certain property management agreements, we may also pay an incentive fee based on operating performance of the properties. No incentive fees were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 . Property management fees are included in “Property operating expense” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Other amounts paid to affiliated managers that are included in property operating expense are payroll expense and travel reimbursement costs. The payroll expense is structured as a reimbursement to the property manager, who is the employer of record. In May 2018, concurrently with the Lease Termination, we entered into property management agreements with Holiday, pursuant to which we pay a management fee equal to a monthly base fee in the amount of 5% of effective gross income in the first year and 4.5% of effective gross income for the remainder of the term. In addition, Holiday is eligible to earn an annual incentive fee of up to 2% of effective gross income if the Holiday Portfolio achieves certain performance thresholds. The agreements may be terminated without penalty after the first year of the term. Refer to Note 3 for additional details related to the Lease Termination. The following table summarizes property management fees and reimbursements paid to property managers affiliated with Fortress: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Property management fees $ 5,909 $ 4,523 $ 14,749 $ 14,156 Travel reimbursement costs 56 77 169 242 Property-level payroll expenses 28,526 23,081 71,760 71,692 As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , we had payables for property management fees of $ 2.0 million and $ 1.4 million , respectively, and property-level payroll expenses of $ 7.7 million and $ 5.6 million , respectively, which are included in “Due to affiliates” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The property management agreements with affiliated managers have initial terms of 5 or 10 years and provide for automatic one -year extensions after the initial term, subject to termination rights. Triple Net Lease Agreements On May 9, 2018, we entered into a lease termination agreement to terminate our triple net leases with affiliates of Holiday. The Lease Termination was effective May 14, 2018. We received total consideration of $115.6 million , including a $70.0 million termination payment and retention of $45.6 million in security deposits held by us. Prior to the Lease Termination, we received monthly rent payments in accordance with the terms of the leases. No payments were received during the three months ended September 30, 2018 . We received $ 18.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 , and $ 28.5 million and $ 55.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES New Senior is organized and conducts its operations to qualify as a REIT under the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). However, certain of our activities are conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) and therefore are subject to federal and state income taxes at regular corporate tax rates. The following table presents the provision for income taxes: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Current Federal $ — $ — $ (42 ) $ — State and local 100 67 254 221 Total current provision 100 67 212 221 Deferred Federal (94 ) (60 ) (15 ) 92 State and local 98 (87 ) 106 (40 ) Total deferred provision 4 (147 ) 91 52 Total provision for income taxes $ 104 $ (80 ) $ 303 $ 273 The following table presents the significant components of deferred tax assets: September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Deferred tax assets: Prepaid fees and rent $ 849 $ 790 Net operating losses 4,084 4,050 Deferred rent 328 949 Tax credits — 42 Other 123 99 Total deferred tax assets 5,384 5,930 Less valuation allowance — — Net deferred tax assets 5,384 5,930 Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation and amortization — 455 Total deferred tax liabilities — 455 Total net deferred tax assets $ 5,384 $ 5,475 In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income by the TRS during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible and before the net operating loss carryforward expires. We have not recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017 as management believes that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will be realized. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act includes a number of significant changes to existing U.S. corporate income tax laws, most notably a reduction of the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, effective January 1, 2018. We measure deferred tax assets using enacted tax rates that will apply in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or paid. Accordingly, our deferred tax assets were remeasured to reflect the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate, resulting in a non-recurring $ 3.0 million increase in income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 and a corresponding decrease of the same amount in our deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017.

EQUITY	EQUITY In the first quarter of 2018, strike prices for outstanding options were reduced by $ 1.04 , reflecting the portion of our 2017 dividends which were deemed return of capital. In March 2018, we granted options to a new director relating to 5,000 shares of common stock, the grant date fair value of which was not material. As of September 30, 2018 , approximately 1.3 million shares of our common stock were held by Fortress, through its affiliates, and its principals.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES As of September 30, 2018 , management believes there are no material contingencies that would affect our results of operations, cash flows or financial position. Certain Obligations, Liabilities and Litigation We are and may become subject to various obligations, liabilities, investigations, inquiries and litigation assumed in connection with or arising from our on-going business, as well as acquisitions, sales, leasing and other activities. These obligations and liabilities (including the costs associated with investigations, inquiries and litigation) may be greater than expected or may not be known in advance. Any such obligations or liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows and results of operations, particularly if we are not entitled to indemnification, or if a responsible third party fails to indemnify us. Certain Tax-Related Covenants If we are treated as a successor to Drive Shack under applicable U.S. federal income tax rules, and if Drive Shack failed to qualify as a REIT for a taxable year ending on or before December 31, 2015, we could be prohibited from electing to be a REIT. Accordingly, in the separation and distribution agreement entered into to effect our spin-off from Drive Shack (“Separation and Distribution Agreement”), Drive Shack (i) represented that it had no knowledge of any fact or circumstance that would cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT, (ii) covenanted to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with New Senior as necessary to enable us to qualify for taxation as a REIT and receive customary legal opinions concerning REIT status, including providing information and representations to us and our tax counsel with respect to the composition of Drive Shack’s income and assets, the composition of its stockholders and its operation as a REIT, and (iii) covenanted to use its reasonable best efforts to maintain its REIT status for each of Drive Shack’s taxable years ending on or before December 31, 2015 (unless Drive Shack obtains an opinion from a nationally recognized tax counsel or a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to the effect that Drive Shack’s failure to maintain its REIT status will not cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT under the successor REIT rule referred to above). Proceedings Indemnified and Defended by Third Parties From time to time, we are party to certain legal actions, regulatory investigations and claims for which third parties are contractually obligated to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless. While we are presently not being defended by any tenant and other obligated third parties in these types of matters, there is no assurance that our tenants, their affiliates or other obligated third parties will defend us in these matters in the future, or that such parties will have sufficient assets, income and access to financing to enable them to satisfy their defense and indemnification obligations to us. Environmental Costs As a commercial real estate owner, we are subject to potential environmental costs. As of September 30, 2018 , management is not aware of any environmental concerns that would have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. Capital Improvement and Repair Commitments We have agreed to make $ 1.0 million available for capital improvements during the 15 year lease period to the triple net lease property under Watermark, none of which has been funded as of September 30, 2018 . Upon funding these capital improvements, we will be entitled to a rent increase.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS These consolidated financial statements include a discussion of material events, if any, which have occurred subsequent to September 30, 2018 (referred to as subsequent events) through the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. On October 29, 2018, the Company’s board of directors declared a cash dividend on its common stock of $0.13 per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 . The dividend is payable on December 21, 2018 to shareholders of record on December 7, 2018. On October 10, 2018, we refinanced the Term Loan with a seven-year secured loan of $720.0 million bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.32% . We incurred approximately $11.6 million of expenses related to the refinancing, which will be capitalized and amortized over the life of the loan. We expect to write off approximately $6.2 million of deferred financing costs associated with the Term Loan. In October 2018, we paid $2.5 million to enter into an interest rate cap on the refinancing of the Term Loan, which caps LIBOR at 3.68%, has a notional value of $720.0 million and is effective through November 1, 2021.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN_2

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2018
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP’’) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of New Senior and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. We consolidate those entities in which we have control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 , as filed with the SEC.
Reclassifications	Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates Management is required to make estimates and assumptions when preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from management’s estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) using the modified retrospective method of adoption. This standard requires revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for those goods or services. The adoption did not result in an adjustment to beginning retained earnings and did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. Substantially all of our revenue has been generated through our triple net lease and managed property leasing arrangements, which are specifically excluded from ASC 606, and are accounted for under other applicable GAAP standards. We account for ancillary revenue under ASC 606. The timing and pattern of revenue recognition of our ancillary revenue under ASC 606 is consistent with that under the prior accounting model. Additionally, real estate sales are within the scope of ASC 606, as amended by ASU 2017-05, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASU 2017-05”). ASU 2017-05 clarifies the scope of subtopic 610-20, Other Income - Gains and Losses from Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, and adds guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. Under these models, income recognition for real estate sales is largely based on the transfer of control versus continuing involvement under the current guidance. As a result, more transactions may qualify as sales of real estate and gains or losses may be recognized earlier. Sales of our real estate are generally not executory across points in time and our performance obligations from these contracts are expected to fall within a single period. On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash , which requires that the statement of cash flows include a reconciliation and explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This standard impacts the presentation of our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as activity between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash is no longer presented in our operating, financing or investing activities. Upon adoption, the changes in classification within the statement of cash flows is applied retrospectively to all periods presented. As a result of the retrospective application, our net cash provided by operating activities increased by $ 6.8 million and our net cash provided by investing activities decreased by $ 4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments , which provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are to be presented and classified on the statement of cash flows. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases . This standard amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The effective date of the standard will be for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We expect to elect the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We continue to assess the guidance and the impact it may have on our consolidated financial statements and have initiated a review to identify embedded leases as well as non-lease components, if any, in our lease agreements. We currently believe the most significant effects relate to (1) the recognition of new right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheets for our operating leases where we are the lessee and (2) providing new disclosures about our leasing activities. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . This standard replaces the current incurred loss methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. Under this methodology, a company would recognize an impairment allowance equal to its current estimate of all contractual cash flows that it does not expect to collect from financial assets measured at amortized cost. The effective date of the standard will be for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted beginning after December 15, 2018. We are assessing the impact this guidance may have on our consolidated financial statements.
