SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif., July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Ensign Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: ENSG), the parent company of the Ensign™ group of companies, which invest in and provide skilled nursing and senior living services, physical, occupational and speech therapies, other rehabilitative and healthcare services, and real estate, announced today that it acquired the real estate and operations of Timber Springs Transitional Care, a 120-bed skilled nursing facility located in Boise, Idaho.
