CareTrust REIT Inc.
Company Overview
History and Background
CareTrust REIT, Inc. was founded in 2014 as a spin-off from Ensign Group. It focuses on investing in healthcare-related properties, primarily skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, and independent living facilities.

Top Products and Market Share
Key Offerings
- Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs): Leasing skilled nursing facilities is CareTrust's core business.

Competitors: Omega Healthcare Investors (OHI), National Health Investors (NHI), Sabra Health Care REIT (SBRA).
- Senior Housing (Assisted Living, Independent Living): CareTrust also leases assisted living and independent living facilities. These represent a smaller portion of their portfolio compared to SNFs. Market Share estimated less than 2%. Competitors: Welltower (WELL), Ventas (VTR), Healthpeak Properties (PEAK).
