PACS Group to Buy 34 Skilled Nursing Facilities Across Six States
PACS Group is acquiring 34 skilled nursing facilities from Eduro Healthcare, expanding its footprint across Texas, Montana, and four other western states.
If you've been watching the senior care space, here's a deal worth paying attention to.

Montana adds six more to the haul, South Dakota brings three, and New Mexico, North Dakota, and Utah each contribute one facility. That's a sizeable geographic leap for PACS, essentially planting flags across a broad swath of the American West in a single transaction.

Buying an established operator's facilities typically means inheriting experienced staff, existing patient relationships, and infrastructure — reducing some of the friction that comes with greenfield development.
