Sabra Health Care REIT Acquisition of Willowbrook Skilled Nursing Facility
Deal value: $32,000,000
Acquisition of a 120-bed skilled nursing facility in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Sabra’s acquisition of the Willowbrook Skilled Nursing Facility is driven by a strategy to selectively expand its skilled nursing portfolio with high-yield, manageable assets under $100 million. The core motivation is to maintain a balanced asset mix between skilled nursing and senior housing, capitalizing on demographic tailwinds and improving operational fundamentals such as rising occupancy and moderating labor costs. The timing reflects recovering post-COVID performance in skilled nursing, favorable Medicaid rate adjustments, and a market where private equity sellers are motivated to exit, creating attractive buying opportunities.
