The first property is Apple Rehab Cooney, an 80-bed facility located on the campus of the St. Peter’s Health Regional Medical Center in Helena.

The transaction was CareTrust’s first to be initiated and closed in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Underwriting assets involves some added challenges in these somewhat unusual times, but these buildings were well-run and the parties were pragmatic in dealing with those uncertainties,” says Dave Sedgwick, CareTrust’s chief operating officer. CareTrust’s total initial investment for the two assets was $16.5 million, inclusive of transaction costs and $500,000 of funding to Eduro to improve the facilities.
