Titled “Pulling Back the Veil on Today’s Private Equity Ownership of Nursing Homes,’ the study sought to shed transparency on the largely opaque companies investing in nursing homes. The presentation built on a February 2021 study released by the Private Equity Stakeholder Project, a nonprofit organization where O’Grady is a researcher. Research suggests their takeover has “increased the short-term mortality of Medicare residents by 10%, resulting in 20,150 more deaths over a twelve-year period.” They use a number of practices, the presenters said, to “extract as much money out of nursing homes as possible,” often resulting in a lower quality of care for residents. The presentation, available in clips on Consumer Voice’s website, explains how private equity firms are increasingly taking over the long-term care industry in the United States.
