Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to CTR Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and CareTrust Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (each an “Issuer,” and together, the “Issuers”), in connection with the issuance and sale of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 5.25% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), dated May 10, 2017, by and among the Issuers, CareTrust REIT, Inc. (“CareTrust”), the other Guarantors (as defined below), and KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp. and Barclays Capital Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, with the Notes to be guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) by each of the parties listed on Schedule I attached hereto (each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Notes constitute a series of the debt securities registered on a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-217670) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 4, 2017. The Notes are being issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated of as May 24, 2017, between the Issuers, CareTrust and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 24, 2017 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), between the Issuers, CareTrust, the other Guarantors and the Trustee (as so supplemented, the “Indenture”).

In connection with the opinions expressed herein, we have examined such documents, records and matters of law as we have deemed relevant or necessary for purposes of this opinion. In our examination, we have assumed that the certificates for the Notes will conform to the forms thereof examined by us, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. To the extent the obligations of the Issuers or the Guarantors depend on the enforceability of any agreement against the other parties to such agreement, we have assumed that such agreement is enforceable against such other parties. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein which were not independently established or verified,

we have relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Issuers and the Guarantors. In addition, we have obtained and relied upon those certificates of public officials we considered appropriate.

On the basis of such examination, our reliance upon the assumptions in this opinion and our consideration of those questions of law we considered relevant, and subject to the limitations and qualifications in this opinion, we are of the opinion that:
