It wasn’t a complete exit, but a local owner/operator in Portland, Oregon sold its assisted living community with the help of Brad Goodsell, Jason Punzel and Vince Viverito of Senior Living Investment Brokerage.

Originally built in 2012 and expanded in 2018, the 47-unit/50-bed community catered to a high-acuity population.

Greystone Takes Over Rosewood Care Centers Portfolio
