Sabra Health Care REIT has teamed up with Scottsdale, Arizona-based owner/operator Cadence Living to grow its senior living portfolio with the purchase of an assisted living/memory care community in Poway, California (San Diego MSA). Located adjacent to a 149-bed skilled nursing facility and near the Palomar Hospital, the community is spread out on 32 acres with seven separate buildings.
It is unique in that it offers a horticultural-therapy program that grows more than 20,000 pounds of organic fruits and vegetables on several fields and greenhouses located throughout the property. There are of course many benefits to this program, from the obvious farm-to-table meals to providing excess food to the Poway community in need. We hope Sabra will get a basket of their harvest too.
With the deal, Cadence now has 20 senior living communities in its portfolio in California, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee.
