"We are pleased to complete this financing with the strong support of our lending partners," said Barry Port, Chief Executive Officer.

This facility positions us well to continue pursuing opportunities that create long-term value for our stakeholders while maintaining our conservative approach to capital management."

"Our balance sheet remains a significant competitive advantage," added Chad Keetch, Chief Investment Officer. "The amended facility provides substantial liquidity and flexibility as we continue to invest in both healthcare operations and real estate opportunities throughout the post-acute care continuum."
