Subsequent Events [Abstract]
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company evaluates subsequent events in accordance with ASC 855, Subsequent Events. The Company evaluates subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. Recent Investments On January 1, 2026, the Company acquired six SNFs in the Mid-Atlantic for $141.9 million, which includes estimated capitalized acquisition costs. In connection with the acquisition of the facilities, the Company entered into a new master lease with a skilled nursing operator. The master lease has a term of 15 years, with two five-year renewal options and CPI-based rent escalators. Annual cash rent under the lease is $12.8 million. On January 20, 2026, the Company extended a mortgage loan of £20.0 million, to an existing operator. The mortgage loan is secured by one U.K. Care Home and bears interest at a rate of 8.7%. The mortgage loan is set to mature on January 19, 2027, and includes a put and call option, subject to certain conditions, to purchase the real estate. Upon receipt by the operator of certain regulatory approvals, the Company intends to exercise its option to accelerate the mortgage loan, acquire the underlying real estate securing the mortgage loan, and enter into a new long-term lease with the same operator. On January 20, 2026, the Company acquired one senior housing community for approximately £31.5 million, which excludes estimated acquisition costs In connection with the acquisition of the senior housing community, the Company entered into a new lease with an existing senior housing operator. The lease has a term of 21 years, with one 10‑year renewal option and RPI‑based rent escalators, subject to a floor of 2% and a ceiling of 4%. Annual cash rent under the lease is £2.7 million. Equity Awards Granted On December 11, 2025, the Company, as the special limited partner of the Operating Partnership, and CareTrust GP, LLC, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, entered into the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership (the “Amended Operating Partnership Agreement”). The amendments set forth in the Amended Operating Partnership Agreement established a new general class of units of limited partnership in the Operating Partnership designated as “LTIP Units” and designate four specific sub-classes of LTIP Units, including “Basic LTIP Units” and “Performance LTIP Units”, as defined and further set forth in the Amended Operating Partnership Agreement. LTIP Units are structured in a manner intended to qualify as “profits interests” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which means they cannot have any value on the date of grant were the Operating Partnership to be liquidated on that date. As profit interests, LTIP Units only have value, other than with respect to the right to receive distributions, if the value of the assets of the Operating Partnership increases between the time of issuance of the LTIP Units and the date of a book-up event for partnership tax purposes. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, approximately 0.2 million Basic LTIP Units, which are subject to time and service-based vesting requirements, and approximately 0.6 million Performance LTIP Units, which are subject to performance-based vesting requirements as well as time and service-based vesting requirements, were issued to officers, certain other employees and members of the Board of the Company, pursuant to their election to receive LTIP Units in lieu of receiving their equity award in the form of time or performance-based RSUs, as applicable. The Basic LTIP Units and Performance LTIPs were granted under the Plan and are also subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended Operating Partnership Agreement. Basic LTIP Units generally vest in equal annual installments over a period of three years or, in the case of Basic LTIP Units awarded to members of the Board, on the first anniversary of their grant date. Basic LTIP Units are generally entitled to receive distributions at the same time and in the same per-Unit amounts as are paid on Partnership Common Units, subject to certain limitations intended to preserve the U.S. income tax treatment of such LTIP Units as “profits interests.” The Performance LTIP Units are scheduled to cliff vest at the end of a three-year period subject to a market-based performance condition tied to the Company’s TSR performance relative to a custom peer group consisting of other publicly traded healthcare REITs over the three-year period. The Performance LTIP Units are granted at the maximum potential payout, inclusive of an estimated portion of distributions expected to be paid during the performance period, and vest 0 to 100% of the Performance LTIP Units initially granted, and any portion from the original grant that does not vest is forfeited. Until their “Full Distribution Participation Date” (as defined in the Amended Operating Partnership Agreement) specified in the applicable LTIP Unit award agreement, Performance LTIP Units generally will be entitled to distributions equal to 10% of the distributions paid on Basic LTIP Units, and following the Full Distribution Participation Date, LTIP Units generally will be entitled to receive the same distributions that are payable with respect to Basic LTIP Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended Operating Partnership Agreement, vested LTIP Units that have achieved specified capital account thresholds may be converted into Partnership Common Units, which may thereafter be redeemed for cash or, at the Company’s election, shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the existing redemption provisions of the Amended Operating Partnership Agreement. At-The-Market Activity In January 2026, the Company entered into ATM forward contracts under the ATM Program with a financial institution acting as a forward purchaser to sell 3.5 million shares of common stock at a weighted average initial sales price of $37.00 per share, before commissions and offering expenses.
