The Ensign Group, Inc. is a diversified provider of post-acute healthcare services in the United States, operating a network of skilled nursing, assisted living, independent living, home health and hospice care centers. The company’s model emphasizes integrated care by employing multidisciplinary teams—including nursing staff, therapists and physicians—to deliver personalized rehabilitation and long-term care services for seniors and other patients recovering from injury, illness or surgery.
Through its owned and managed centers, The Ensign Group offers a broad spectrum of rehabilitation services such as physical, occupational and speech therapy. Its assisted and independent living communities provide day-to-day support, social activities and continuity of care for residents who require varying levels of supervision. Home health services extend the company’s therapeutic expertise into patients’ homes, while hospice programs focus on comfort and quality of life for individuals with life-limiting conditions.
Founded in 1999 by Jeffrey M. Willis and headquartered in Mission Viejo, California, The Ensign Group has grown from a single skilled nursing facility to a coast-to-coast operator serving hundreds of locations across multiple states. The company’s strategic focus on facility-level leadership and on-site clinical management supports consistent quality standards and operational efficiencies throughout its network.
Led by founder and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey M. Willis, supported by a senior leadership team with extensive experience in healthcare administration, The Ensign Group continues to expand its footprint through selective acquisitions and partnerships. Its regional operating offices collaborate closely with center management to maintain regulatory compliance, foster community relationships and implement best practices in patient care.
