The Ensign Group may have just spun off its senior living assets into a new entity named The Pennant Group, but the firm can’t fully shake the seniors housing business, acquiring a senior care campus with 38 assisted living and 92 independent living units, along with 60 skilled nursing beds. Located in the town of Harlingen, the campus complements five other Ensign operations in south Texas, including another 82-bed skilled nursing facility in Harlingen that the company acquired from The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society in 2009.
Ensign acquired both the operations and real estate in this transaction, bringing its portfolio to 198 skilled nursing operations, 27 of which also include assisted living operations and 56 include assisted living and independent living operations.
