Cain Brothers advised on a trio of senior care transactions involving health systems as sellers, which could be a growing trend, particularly among any resource-constrained systems.

The first deal involved Bristol Health, a small health system in central Connecticut, selling Ingraham Manor, a skilled nursing facility in Bristol, near Hartford.
