    by | Jan 22, 2026 1:55 pm | Acquisitions

    Genesis HealthCare was once one of the largest and most successful skilled nursing companies.

National Health Investors Growing Yet Again

Continuing its buying streak, National Health Investors added five new memory care communities and a new tenant relationship to its growing portfolio. The LaSalle Group developed these communities, located in Texas and Illinois with 223 total units, under the Autumn Leaves brand of stand-alone memory care communities. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard that name, as Autumn Leaves seemed to open a new community every other week in 2014/2015, concentrating in the Texas and Illinois markets. The openings keep coming too. Just this month, the operator opened its first South Carolina community in Greenville. There are two more projects scheduled to open in that state in the next two years,... Read More »
