Mom & Pop Exits SNF Business in Iowa

Mom & Pop Exits SNF Business in Iowa

A mom & pop sold their only skilled nursing facility in Anita, Iowa (between Omaha, Nebraska and Des Moines, Iowa), after 10 years of ownership.

So we’ll be opportunistic about our CCRC position.” That prompted a question from Stephen Sakwa from Evercore ISI: “…does that mean that you could potentially exit CCRCs over time if the pricing was right?” To which, Mr. Brinker responded, “Yes, I think you heard exactly...
