Long-Time Lessee Acquires SNF Portfolio

To say that the buyer of a portfolio of nine skilled nursing facilities located across the eastern United States was familiar with the properties may be an understatement.

Located in Florida, Maryland, Michigan, Tennessee and Virginia, the portfolio totals 1,167 operating beds with an average occupancy of 85.8%.
