The team at IPA Seniors Housing including Mark Myers, Josh Jandris and Ryan Fleming announced a couple of public-to-private senior care sales, something the IPA team has seen a lot of in the past several years.

Alternative Living Acquires Auglaize County-Owned SNF
Drawing on plenty of experience selling county-owned skilled nursing facilities, Joshua Jandris, Mark Myers and Alex Vice of IPA Seniors Housing just sold their first in the state of Ohio.
