Redwood Senior Living Doubles Its Golden State Portfolio
Redwood Senior Living, a growing assisted living provider based in the Bay Area and run by Anthony M. Barbato, announced that it doubled its portfolio in one day, closing escrow on two properties at the start of February to bring its total portfolio to four communities.

The Santa Rosa property was built in the 1970s before being taken over by the current seller in the late-1990s. It features 22 beds in 11 units, including a hospice waiver on five beds. Another mom & pop acquired the 21/unit/41-bed Bakersfield community (also built in the 1970s) in the early 2000s. The... Read More »
