What this means
Roles are shown as CMS publishes them. Different CMS sources can describe different enrollment, ownership, and control concepts, so TrustHub keeps each source-specific disclosure distinct.
Questions to ask
- CMS enrollment records show a change of ownership effective Dec 20, 2021. What operational or leadership changes followed that event?
Chain context
CMS groups this facility with EXCELSIOR CARE GROUP
