Ownership as disclosed to CMS
From the PECOS SNF All Owners file for each facility's current enrollment: 12 of the 13 facilities matched a PECOS enrollment. An owner holds an ownership or control role (direct or indirect ownership interest, partnership interest, or operational/managerial control); a party is any other disclosable party, most often the landlord or a lender. A facility that discloses neither has not reported one; that is not a finding that it has none.

Sources and method
Chain identity, facility count and the averages under At a glance come from the CMS Nursing Home Chain Performance Measures file. Every facility-level value is a column of release v2026.08 (CMS August 2026 vintage), which records the exact CMS files and their checksums, archived at Zenodo. Section 11 of the methodology describes how the disclosure flags, the owner-versus-party split and the change-of-ownership counts are built; the tables behind this page are committed in the public repository.
