MedProperties Holdings LLC and Equity Inc. will be building a replacement skilled nursing facility in Gainesville, FL.

The 97,000 square-foot, 180-bed facility will be jointly owned by MedProperties and Equity, and leased by the non-profit Gainesville Council on Aging.

The new Gainesville Health Care Center will occupy 13.3 acres of a previously undeveloped 28-acre site near Interstate 75. It will offer short-term rehabilitation in addition to long-term care, memory care, palliative care and hospice care.

“The current facility is older and all services and rooms are spread out on four floors. We’re going to provide a beautiful, modern, efficient facility with all of the rooms on one convenient level to help the Gainesville Council on Aging continue to provide the highest level of nursing care to local residents,” said MedProperties Managing Principal Darryl E. Freling.
