BEND, Ore., Nov. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunshine Retirement Living (SRL) today announced the sale of The Woods at Merrimack, a premier senior living community in Methuen, Massachusetts, to a joint venture between Capitol Seniors Housing ("CSH") and a global alternative asset manager with over $55 billion in assets under management worldwide.
