The Ensign Group started off 2019 with a skilled nursing acquisition right in its wheelhouse. Located in southwest Utah, in the town of Cedar City, this 120-bed skilled nursing facility was just 50% occupied at the time of sale.
That kind of turnaround opportunity seems to be Ensign’s specialty. Indeed, occupancy at its last couple of skilled nursing acquisitions ranged from 67% to 70%. So, they’ll hope to use that experience turning operations around at the Utah facility.
