Ownership Models Behind Ohio's Medicare-Certified Providers
Looking for who owns a specific provider? Who owns nursing homes in Ohio matches every Ohio facility to the corporate family that controls it.
Ohio has 1,808 Medicare-certified nursing homes, home health agencies and hospices. This is who owns them — by ownership model, not by brand.
| Facility type | Total | For-profit | Non-profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nursing home | 918 | 770 | 142 |
| Home health agency | 725 | 665 | 58 |
| Hospice | 165 | 115 | 49 |
Are Ohio's Nursing Homes Privately Owned?
Mostly, yes — and the ownership models differ more than the signage suggests. A facility can be independently owned, part of an operating chain, owned by a REIT and leased to an operator, or held by an investment vehicle. CMS captures all four, but only if the filer says so.
What the Private-Equity Flag Does and Does Not Tell You
The PE and REIT markers are checkboxes on the provider's own enrollment form. Academic work has found the PE flag substantially under-reports true private-equity ownership, because ownership held through intermediate holding companies often is not marked. In Ohio only 83 facilities carry it. Read it as a floor, never as a rate.
