CareTrust REIT, Inc.

CareTrust REIT, Inc. is a self-administered, publicly traded REIT focused on owning, acquiring, financing, developing, and leasing healthcare real estate. Its portfolio is concentrated in skilled nursing facilities, senior housing communities, and other healthcare-related properties, with operations spanning the United States and the United Kingdom. The company also holds real estate-related debt and preferred equity investments, which broaden its exposure beyond pure property ownership. In late 2025, CareTrust expanded into a senior housing operating portfolio structure, adding direct operating exposure through managed senior housing communities.
