The facilities were sold to a regional owner/operator of assisted living and memory care facilities.

President and CEO, Dave Sedgwick, said, “The sale of these five facilities continues our plan to de-risk the portfolio and I am appreciative of our team’s efforts to facilitate this closing by year end given challenging market circumstances.” With respect to the seniors housing facilities that remain held for sale or re-tenanting, Mr. Sedgwick said, “We continue to move forward towards selling or re-tenanting the remaining facilities held for sale and as with today’s announcement, we will provide updates as definitive progress is made.”
