The Utah-based skilled nursing operator Eduro Healthcare last week announced its expansion into Texas with a four-building pickup.
Eduro signed a long-term lease to manage the quartet of buildings in Beeville, Cleburn, Hurst, and Lockhart, Texas, with a total of 434 beds.
“We are excited about the opportunity to enter the Texas market,” Eduro managing partner Michael Bewsey said in a statement announcing the deal. “We have an outstanding leadership team with years of operating experience in Texas and this portfolio gives us a scalable footprint to grow in the Lone Star State.”
Founded in 2008, Eduro operates 23 facilities across 10 states, including eight added since July 2020.
“Our capital partners are confident in our ability to take on challenging opportunities and I think we have shown we have the local and corporate leadership to manage through difficult times,” Eduro vice president of investments Sam Bechthold said in the statement.
