Company Overview

CareTrust REIT, Inc. is a healthcare-focused real estate investment trust that owns, acquires, and manages properties used by healthcare providers. Its portfolio primarily includes skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, independent living facilities, and other senior housing and healthcare-related properties.

The company generally leases its properties to healthcare operators under long-term, often triple-net lease agreements. Under these arrangements, tenants typically assume responsibility for property-level expenses such as taxes, insurance, and maintenance, while CareTrust focuses on owning and managing the underlying real estate and supporting its operating partners.

CareTrust was formed in 2014 through the spin-off of healthcare properties from The Ensign Group. The company serves healthcare markets across numerous U.S. states and works with a range of regional and national operators. CareTrust is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Dave Sedgwick.
