Late last month, the White House called out private equity firms in a fact sheet on the safety and quality of nursing homes.

"Private equity firms have been buying up struggling nursing homes, and research shows that private equity-owned nursing homes tend to have significantly worse outcomes for residents," the fact sheet reads, adding that "Private equity firms’ investment in nursing homes has ballooned from $5 billion in 2000 to more than $100 billion in 2018, with about 5% of all nursing homes now owned by private equity firms."

Listen to Health Affairs' Kathleen Haddad and Rob Lott discuss the role of private equity in health care service lines.
