Michigan — A Michigan-based skilled nursing and senior living company is trying to expand its reach throughout the country.

Optalis Healthcare, currently a 15-facility company, announced in November plans to either build or acquire more facilities in Michigan, Ohio and Florida, according to CEO Raj Patel. 

The executive declined to specify the number of facilities in play or give any details about future acquisitions. 

The company also recently purchased five Detroit-area, Beaumont-affiliated properties in September.
