About CareTrust REIT
CareTrust REIT owns and leases healthcare-related real estate, with a focus on skilled nursing facilities and seniors' housing, along with other medical properties. It is best known for building a nationwide collection of these properties, which it places under long-term net lease arrangements with the operators who run them.
The company is self-managed and structured as a real estate investment trust, meaning it earns income primarily through the rents paid under these leases. Its customer base consists of a growing set of operators across the healthcare property space, and it continues to add properties through both new acquisitions and development of existing holdings. Growth is pursued broadly across the United States rather than in one particular region.
No details on CareTrust REIT's founding date or headquarters location are available. Its shares trade under the ticker CTRE.
