Oxford Finance Funds Sterling Senior Care Acquisition
Maryland-based operator of senior care facilities across the Mid-Atlantic, Sterling Senior Care, acquired another Maryland skilled nursing facility, following its 2018 acquisition of a 129-bed Boonsboro facility for $15.55 million.

The first transaction featured a 64-unit assisted living/memory care community in Sandy Springs, an affluent suburb north of Atlanta, a notoriously overdeveloped market.
