Mainstreet’s latest IN property

Trilogy Health Services recently announced the opening of its latest Mainstreet-built facility in Richmond, Indiana, but the facility is different than any other the developer has built in recent years.

We have to assume the Richmond facility will cost about the same, but will feature just 70 beds of skilled nursing/transitional care, though with all... Read More »
