But this bad boy is the worst of the group. We are referring to the just announced pardon of criminal Joseph Schwartz, the former owner of Skyline Health. Several months... Read More »

Evans Senior Investments Shows Variety In Latest Closings

Evans Senior Investments displayed some variety in its two latest transactions. First, the firm closed the sale of a 30-unit/60-bed memory care community located about five miles southwest of Las Vegas, Nevada.

Rents are currently below market rates at nearby competitors, and with nearly all semi-private units... Read More »
