Providing the public with more comprehensive ownership information than what is currently available would greatly enhance the tools available to consumers confronted with selecting a facility for themselves or a loved one. Increased private equity investment and the ever-growing complexity of nursing home ownership and financing structures have made it exceedingly challenging for regulators to determine a nursing home’s ownership, its quality track record, and its use of public dollars.
