FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., June 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. (NYSE: SKH) today announced that one of its subsidiaries has agreed to acquire the real property and related operations of Willow Creek Memory Care at San Martin in Las Vegas, Nevada. The facility, which is located in southwest Las Vegas adjacent to the unaffiliated St. Rose Dominican Hospital - San Martin Campus, was constructed in 2009 and is currently licensed for 62 memory care assisted living beds. We anticipate that the closing will occur in the third quarter of 2011, subject to customary closing conditions. Following the closing, the facility will operate as Vintage Park at San Martin.
"We are excited to expand our presence in Las Vegas," said Boyd Hendrickson, Chairman and CEO of Skilled Healthcare Group. "The acquisition is a great opportunity for us to extend the breadth of our companies and the services they offer in the Las Vegas market, and we believe that it will be complementary to our existing skilled nursing, hospice and home health care businesses in the area. We anticipate that shortly following the closing Vintage Park will begin making modifications to the property to offer additional services at the facility."
