Skilled Nursing Facility Change of Ownership Tracker
We track every Medicare skilled nursing facility that changed hands since January 1, 2016, direct from CMS's own data-api. One record is one ownership transfer with both sides of the deal in a single row: the buyer's and seller's legal name, doing-business-as name, CMS Certification Number, NPI, PECOS Associate ID, state, provider type, plus the change-of-ownership type and effective date.

Questions buyers ask
Does this include the address or sale price of the facility?
No. The CMS dataset has 23 columns and none is a street address, a purchase price, or a bed count. Each party carries a buyerNpiLookupUrl or sellerNpiLookupUrl pointing at the NPPES registry, which is one way to resolve an address separately.
How current is the data?
This dataset is not yet available for self-service on Apify. Contact us to confirm which published source records, filters, and delivery options are currently available.
Can I look up all the ownership transfers for one facility?
Yes, filter by ccn (CMS Certification Number), matched on either the buyer or seller side. The CCN is unchanged across the transfer on 5,221 of the 5,227 live rows, making it the reliable way to follow one facility through its ownership history.
