Evans Senior Investments Sells Dayton Senior Care Facility

Evans Senior Investments Sells Dayton Senior Care Facility

A newly renovated senior care facility in Dayton, Ohio that was struggling with census issues sold to a Midwest-based owner/operator with the help of the team at Evans Senior Investments. Featuring 60 skilled nursing beds and 30 assisted living units, the facility was previously owned by an independent owner/operator looking to exit the long-term care industry.
