Net-lease REIT owning skilled nursing and senior housing properties leased to healthcare operators.
Net-lease REIT owning skilled nursing and senior housing properties leased to healthcare operators.
Collects rent under long triple-net leases, where the tenant pays taxes, insurance and upkeep, so it carries property risk but not day-to-day operating risk, and rents usually step up each year. Spun off from Ensign Group in 2014; Ensign remains a significant tenant alongside many other operators.
Moat: narrow (switching costs, customer qualification). Long-term triple-net leases and operator underwriting make relocating a licensed facility costly.
Headquarters: San Clemente, California, United States · Founded: 2014 · Employees: 43
