Post-acute care is the medical and support services people receive after leaving a hospital, such as rehabilitation, nursing facility stays, home health visits, and therapy programs. It matters to investors because it influences how quickly and fully patients recover, affects hospital readmission rates and ongoing treatment costs, and represents a steady revenue area in healthcare—like routine maintenance after a major repair that determines long-term performance and expense.

Skilled nursing is a higher level of medical care provided in a facility for people who need daily, professional clinical services—such as wound care, intravenous treatments, medication management, or physical therapy—rather than only basic assistance with daily tasks. For investors, it matters because skilled nursing services are typically billed at higher rates, subject to specific insurance and government reimbursement rules, and drive a facility’s revenue, occupancy and regulatory risk much like a specialized department does for a hospital.
SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
PACS Group, Inc. (NYSE: PACS) (“PACS” or the “Company”) today announced that independently operated subsidiaries of the Company have acquired the operations of three post-acute care facilities, two located in Alaska and one in Idaho, representing a total of 230 beds.
The facilities are located in the Kenai Peninsula region of Alaska and the Boise metropolitan area of Idaho. The Company acquired the real estate associated with the two Alaska facilities, while the Idaho facility will operate under a lease arrangement with a third-party landlord. In addition, PACS recently acquired the real estate for two existing skilled nursing operations: Sierra Valley Rehab Center in Porterville, California, and Apache Junction Health Center near Phoenix, Arizona.
“We remain focused on disciplined growth within the post-acute care sector as the foundation of our operating and investment strategy,” said Jason Murray, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PACS. “These acquisitions align with our core platform and expand our presence in markets with strong fundamentals that support higher-acuity care delivery and long-term performance.”
Josh Jergensen, Chief Operating Officer of PACS, added: “Expanding our operational footprint and selectively increasing real estate ownership are key elements of our growth strategy. We’re eager to operate these communities and work alongside their teams, bringing the PACS operating model into markets where we believe it can perform at a high level and make a meaningful impact.”
This expansion brings PACS’ portfolio to 324 communities in 17 states, with nearly 36,000 beds, and is an example of how PACS’ mission to revolutionize post-acute care nationally continues.
