What CareTrust REIT does

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.

What could go right

  • Aging population raising skilled-nursing demand
