Featured research

Federal data gap on nursing home ownership won't close — and Fonteum maps what CMS doesn't.

82.40% of CMS top-10-chain ownership percentages are missing. The Trump administration suspended the mechanism that was supposed to close the gap. PE-owned nursing homes face 11% higher resident mortality and 10× greater bankruptcy risk.

Cross-reference: Sanctions / OIG LEIE

Federal healthcare exclusions for individual practitioners and entities. The LEIE × NH Provider Information cross-join is the audit-pack export endpoint's compliance signal — when a CCN's owners or staff appear in LEIE, the audit-pack envelope flags it explicitly.

Compliance posture

We don’t sell ranking and don’t accept payment to move a nursing home up the list. For final hire decisions, verify licensing, insurance, and references directly with the applicable licensing or credentialing body.

No bulk-licensing source family is currently ingested for this vertical. Hire-time checking still routes through the body named above.
