Service Center — Our primary Service Center is located at our San Juan Capistrano, California campus, which we acquired for a purchase price of $31.0 million to accommodate our growing Service Center team. The property consists of approximately 108,058 square feet of usable office space. In addition, we lease a portion of the space within the campus to third-party tenants. We also have service centers located in Tempe, Arizona, San Antonio, Texas and Salt Lake City, Utah.
Operating Facilities — We operate 297 independent subsidiaries in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin, with the operational capacity to serve approximately 34,000 patients as of December 31, 2023. Of the 297 facilities, we operate 214 facilities under long-term lease arrangements and have options to purchase 11 of those 214 facilities. The results of our independent subsidiaries are reflected in our skilled services segment for our skilled nursing operations and in the "All Other" category for our senior living operations.
