Ensign Enhances Presence With 3 New Acquisitions in 2 States
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
ENSG acquired three new facilities in Idaho and California, effective June 1, 2025.
The Idaho centers operate under a triple-net lease to reduce costs and drive revenues.
These deals bring ENSG's total facilities to 347 across 17 states.
A leading post-acute care services provider, The Ensign Group Inc. (ENSG - Free Report) recently broadened its presence by acquiring three skilled nursing facilities in the U.S. healthcare space. The acquisition includes two of the facilities based in Coeur d’Alene, ID, namely Ironwood Rehabilitation and Care Center, and Lakeside Rehabilitation and Care Center, with 80 and 100 beds, respectively. The third facility, a 52-bed center, Toluca Lake Transitional Care, is based in North Hollywood, CA. These acquisitions became effective on June 1, 2025.
This move aligns with ENSG’s strategy of targeted acquisitions and leasing. The triple-net lease agreement for the Idaho properties with a third-party landlord will reduce its capital expense and increase revenue generation. Toluca Lake Transitional Care was part of a bigger deal involving seven other facilities from Providence Home and Community Care. These acquisitions increased the company’s operational count to 347 healthcare facilities across 17 states.
With the rising demand for rehabilitation care, this move of ENSG might be favorable for future growth. In the first quarter of 2025, its skilled services segment’s revenues rose 15.9% year over year to $1.1 billion, driven by increased occupancy rates and improved patient days.
Some of its recent acquisitions were Marianwood Health and Rehabilitation, Emilie Court Assisted Living and Mother Joseph Care Center, based in Washington, and Alamitos West Health and Rehabilitation and Katella Senior Living Community, located in California.
Ensign’s continued interest in both well-performing and underperforming facilities suggests its strong belief in its operational turnaround capabilities. The company aims to acquire more real estate assets and senior living operations in the long term.
