The Ensign Group

The Ensign Group is a provider of post-acute healthcare services in the United States, operating 103 skilled nursing and rehabilitative care facilities, as well as five home health and three hospice operations across multiple states, including Arizona, California, and Texas. The company's offerings include skilled nursing, assisted living, home health, and hospice services, primarily funded through Medicare and Medicaid programs. Ensign operates through two main segments: Skilled Services, which focuses on skilled nursing facilities and rehabilitation therapy, and Standard Bearer, which involves properties owned through a captive real estate investment trust (REIT) and leased to skilled nursing and assisted living operations. In 2014, Ensign further expanded its reach by acquiring Life's Doors Hospice and related services in Boise, Idaho.
