Nursing home acquisitions and skilled nursing M&A
WhoOwnsCare attributes 145 recorded changes of ownership to the corporate family that acquired the facility, across California, Texas, Florida, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania and New York. That attribution is what turns a list of filings into a view of who is actually buying.
Nothing on this page indicates that a facility is for sale. These are completed, recorded Medicare ownership transfers.

How to buy a nursing home, and what the public record shows
Skilled nursing transactions are not published as deals. What is public is the Medicare change-of-ownership filing that follows one, the enrolment records of the entities on each side, and the cost reports those entities file afterwards. Together those three sources show who is accumulating buildings, who is exiting, and which operators have the financial profile of a seller.
What the public record does not contain is price, terms, or any listing of facilities offered for sale. Any site presenting a distressed facility as available to buy is inferring that, and WhoOwnsCare does not.
Common questions
Who is buying the most nursing homes?
Across covered states, Front Porch Communities and Services has acquired the most facilities — 6.
How do I find nursing homes for sale?
Public Medicare data does not list facilities for sale. It records completed ownership transfers, and shows which operators are contracting — which is where diligence usually starts.
How much does it cost to buy a nursing home?
Transaction prices are not in the public record. Cost reports do show revenue, operating margin, occupancy and payer mix for the facilities themselves.
