Ensign Group acquires nursing facility real estate in Texas and Idaho

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO - The Ensign Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENSG), a healthcare services provider with a market capitalization of $8.6 billion and strong financial health according to InvestingPro metrics, announced Wednesday it has acquired the real estate of two skilled nursing facilities through its captive real estate company, Standard Bearer Healthcare REIT, Inc.

The company purchased the real estate of Duncanville Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center, a 124-bed skilled nursing facility in Duncanville, Texas. This property will be operated by a third-party operator under a long-term triple net lease.

In a separate transaction on the same day, Ensign acquired both the real estate and operations of Timber Springs Transitional Care, a 120-bed skilled nursing facility in Boise, Idaho. While Standard Bearer acquired the real estate, an Ensign-affiliated tenant will operate the facility.

"We identified this facility and operating partner as tremendous fits for our organization," said Chad Keetch, Ensign’s Chief Investment Officer, referring to the Texas acquisition.

Both transactions became effective July 1, 2025. With these additions, Ensign’s portfolio now encompasses 348 healthcare operations across 17 states, including 44 senior living operations. The company’s real estate subsidiary now owns 146 healthcare properties.

The Ensign Group provides skilled nursing and senior living services, rehabilitation therapies, and other healthcare services through its network of independent operating subsidiaries.
