Ensign Acquires Colorado SNF Portfolio
The Ensign Group made its second acquisition of the year, adding the operations of three skilled nursing facilities in Colorado to its growing portfolio.

The SLIB team then sold a 67-unit independent living/assisted living community in Wayzata, Minnesota (Minneapolis MSA), that had been vacant since the early days of the pandemic. A number of COVID-19 illnesses caused... Read More »
Henry Ford Village Gets Stalking Horse Bidder

MED agreed to acquire substantially all of the community’s assets for $69 million, or $66,500 per unit/bed, unless a higher or better offer in accordance with the bid procedures and deadlines (and approved by the court) is accepted.
