Research note: Studies published in peer-reviewed journals have found that private equity ownership of nursing homes is associated with higher rates of staff turnover, increased use of antipsychotic medications, and worse health outcomes for residents. Families are encouraged to visit in person and ask detailed questions about staffing levels.
