Fighting for Nursing Home Ownership, Finance Transparency

Nursing home reformers have long been stymied by questions that seem simple but have no clear answers: Who actually owns any given nursing home? How many other nursing homes does that person or group own? And where is all the Medicare and Medicaid money going in the end?

We’ve assembled a panel of leaders calling for more public information regarding nursing home ownership and spending:

• Sam Brooks, director of public policy, National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care
• Taylor Lincoln, research director, Public Citizen
• Richard Mollot, executive director, of Long-Term Care Community Coalition
• Anne Montgomery, host, and independent policy expert

Together, they lay out the problems with nursing home data reporting and enforcement, and offer a host of policy prescriptions for letting more sunshine into the sector – a key first step toward building lasting, system-wide reforms.
