SLIB Handles SNF Sale in Connecticut

No skilled nursing deal comes easily these days, and one facility in Connecticut went over a few hurdles to find a new owner.

It had historically run at high occupancy (at 90% before the pandemic), with a strong quality mix. Also, the facility had managed to stay COVID-free throughout much of 2020, a feat for any SNF in the... Read More »
