CareTrust’s buying spree continues

Just before Iowans gathered to caucus and politicians readied to leave the Hawkeye State, CareTrust REIT closed on its major move into Iowa, acquiring a nine-facility skilled nursing portfolio that included 518 operating beds for $32.7 million, or $63,127 per bed.
