Ahava Healthcare Purchases in Tennessee

Ahava Healthcare Purchases in Tennessee

Evans Senior Investments was brought on by Henry County in its divestment of a skilled nursing facility in Paris, Tennessee.

We are now beyond this year’s muted flu season, and Brookdale Senior Living posted a small increase in occupancy for May, which should be the beginning of the peak summer selling period.
