Change-of-ownership deal feed

A dated list of hospital, nursing home, home health and hospice acquisitions and new ownership filings, with the buyer, the seller where CMS records one, and the sponsor behind the buyer.

▸ What it is

A dated feed of ownership changes at Medicare-certified hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies and hospices: who bought which facility, when, from whom, and whether a financial sponsor sits behind the buyer. One row per deal record, from two sources stacked in one table and told apart by deal_source:

Sponsor attribution uses the same classifier as the Facility Ownership and PE Sponsor Map: an owner is a financial sponsor when CMS's private-equity flag is Y on any filing by that owner, or its name reads as a fund vehicle. Read that dictionary's "How a financial sponsor is identified" section before relying on sponsor_buyer.

Built for deal teams: comps and precedent transactions by segment and state, sponsor activity tracking, add-on cadence of a platform, and seller identification in diligence.

▸ What a desk does with it

Precedent transactions and comps by segment and state. Sponsor activity and a platform's add-on cadence. Seller and prior-owner checks in diligence.

▸ Read before a trial
  • Two sources in one table. A change-of-ownership row is a deal CMS processed; a filing row is a date new owners were associated with a facility, which also catches recapitalizations and holdco reorganizations. Filter on deal_source.
  • One row per facility, so a multi-site platform deal appears once per facility. CMS records no deal price.
  • Home health and hospice have no change-of-ownership file, so they carry no seller and start in 2023. Sponsor attribution reflects the buyer's current owners, not its owners on the deal date.
