The facility, built in 1969, will remain a nursing home. It will continue to be leased by Health Care and Retirement Corp. of America, a division of Manor Care. This purpose-built facility has gone through several rounds of upgrades, including interior remodeling, HVAC replacement, and conversion of one floor into a specialized care unit focusing on respiratory and tracheotomy patients with an advanced oxygen supply system.

"This Allentown, PA, investment fit nicely with the desire of our client to move his investment dollars from his intensive, self-managed properties, to a lower impact real estate investment, backed by a well executed 20+ year lease with a high quality tenant," said Moore.
