What ENSIGN GROUP, INC does

In the company’s own words

The Ensign Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENSG) operates as a holding company providing skilled nursing, senior living, and rehabilitative services through independent subsidiaries across 17 states. The company's website is located at www.ensigngroup.net.

As of December 31, 2025, Ensign operates 373 skilled nursing and senior living facilities, comprising 37,911 operational skilled nursing beds and 3,402 senior living units. The company generates approximately 95.6 percent of revenue from skilled nursing facilities, with the remainder derived from real estate properties, senior living services, and ancillary operations including mobile diagnostics and medical transportation.

Ensign operates through two reportable segments: Skilled Services, which includes skilled nursing facilities and rehabilitation therapy services, and Standard Bearer, the company's captive real estate investment trust that owns and manages healthcare properties. The Skilled Services segment operates 357 skilled nursing facilities across Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin. Standard Bearer maintains a portfolio of 158 owned real estate properties, with 116 leased to Ensign's independent subsidiaries and 37 leased to third-party operators under triple-net lease arrangements.

Revenue sources are diversified across government and private payors. Medicaid represents approximately 46.6 percent of skilled services revenue, Medicare comprises 24.7 percent, with managed care, commercial insurance, and private pay sources making up the remainder. Senior living operations derive approximately 55.5 percent of revenue from private pay sources.

The company's organizational structure emphasizes local leadership empowerment and operational independence. Rather than maintaining a traditional corporate headquarters, Ensign operates service centers providing centralized accounting, payroll, human resources, information technology, legal, and risk management support. This structure enables individual operations to function with economies of scale while maintaining local decision-making authority and community focus.

Ensign has demonstrated significant growth through acquisition and integration expertise. From January 2021 through December 31, 2025, the company acquired 145 facilities, adding 14,739 operational skilled nursing beds and 1,148 senior living units. The company maintains a reputation for rapidly improving quality metrics in acquired facilities, with 153 facilities achieving four or five-star ratings as of December 31, 2025.
