Evans Senior Investments Announces a Slew of Deals
Evans Senior Investments has announced a slew of closings, including a three-transaction portfolio deal and a separate assisted living community.

Helios Healthcare Advisors Facilitates Acquisition in Oregon
Samaritan Health Services, an Oregon-based not-for-profit integrated health system, sold a seniors housing community in Sweet Home, Oregon that it had picked up in a merger but has since deemed to be non-core.
