Sabra Health Care REIT is a real estate investment trust that owns and leases healthcare properties in the United States and Canada. Its portfolio is built around skilled nursing facilities, senior housing communities, assisted living properties, and other healthcare-related real estate. Sabra does not run hospitals or care homes itself; it owns the buildings and earns rental income from the operators who use them.

Its main customers are healthcare operators such as nursing home companies, senior living providers, and rehabilitation facility managers. Those tenants pay Sabra under long-term lease and mortgage arrangements, which gives the company a steady fee-like income stream tied to property use rather than direct patient care. Sabra also has investments in some joint ventures and other healthcare real estate interests, but the core business is still owning specialized buildings and leasing them to operators.

What makes Sabra’s business different is that it sits between healthcare and real estate. It depends on the health of its tenants and the demand for senior care, but its own revenue comes from property contracts, not medical services. That makes it a landlord to an industry where the buildings are specialized, expensive to replace, and closely linked to aging populations and long-term care needs.
