Sentio Healthcare Buys Senior Living Property for $38 Million

Healthcare real estate investment trust Sentio Healthcare Properties closed the $38.1 million acquisition of Woodbury Mews from affiliates of Capital Health Group and Westport Capital Partners LLC for $38.1 million, plus closing costs and expenses.

“We are pleased to add the Woodbury campus to our portfolio and believe this facility brings an added dimension and diversification to the REIT,” said John Mark Ramsey, president and CEO of Sentio. “Additionally, this transaction represents a new relationship for us with Addit. Their national platform and proven commitment to care matches with our strategic goals for growing the REIT.” —AG
