Nursing Home Compare star ratings before versus after a change in nursing home ownership
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society; by Kira L Ryskina, Emily Tu, Junning Liang, Seiyoun Kim, Rachel M Werner; 7/24

These conflicting trends underscore the need for transparency around changes in facility ownership and a better understanding of consequences of changes in ownership that are salient to patients and families.
