Private equity has acquired multiple large nursing home chains within the past few years; by 2007, it owned 6 of the 10 largest chains. Despite widespread public and policy interest, evidence on the purported impact of private equity on nursing home performance is limited. In our review, we begin by briefly reviewing the organizational and environmental changes in the nursing home industry that facilitated private equity investments. We offer a conceptual framework to hypothesize the relationship between private equity ownership and nursing home performance. Finally, we offer a research agenda focused on the important parameters of nursing home performance: financial performance, and quality of care.
在过去几年中，私募股权已收购了多家大型连锁养老院；到2007年，它拥有十大连锁养老院中的6家。尽管公众和政策对此普遍感兴趣，但关于私募股权对养老院绩效的所谓影响的证据却很有限。在我们的综述中，我们首先简要回顾了养老院行业中促进私募股权投 资的组织和环境变化。我们提供了一个概念框架来假设私募股权所有权与养老院绩效之间的关系。最后，我们提出了一个研究议程，重点关注养老院绩效的重要参数：财务绩效和护理质量。
