A different problem from the one platforms solve
A diligence or strategy project usually asks a short list of questions: which facilities are in this market, who operates each one, who owns the operator, and what else that owner runs. The answer has to be right, cited and in a spreadsheet before the deadline.
Enterprise platforms are built for continuous use across sales, analytics and research. This reference is built for that narrower question: one record per physical facility, tied to its operator and up to its ultimate owner, with the source and date of each link.

Where this reference is stronger
- Every ownership link carries its source and the date it was last confirmed, so a diligence memo can cite it.
- Nursing homes are mapped to their operators and chains from CMS records, home by home.
- Changes are kept as history, so you can see when an operator or owner changed.
- Public pages for every provider and market let you check coverage before you buy.
Where Definitive Healthcare is stronger
- Contacts, executives and org charts of people, which this reference does not offer.
- Claims, referral and procedure-volume data.
- Physician-level data and broad coverage of provider types beyond facilities.
If you need those, keep your platform and use this reference for ownership alone.
How teams use both
Diligence teams typically screen a market in their main platform, then confirm who actually owns each target, and what else that owner runs, with a sourced ownership chain before the memo goes out.
Teams without a platform license use the reference on its own for a single project: the facilities in one market, with operators and owners, ready to filter in Excel.
Questions
Is this a replacement for Definitive Healthcare?
No. It covers ownership and operators in depth and leaves out contacts and claims. Many buyers use it alongside a larger platform; others need only the ownership data for one project.
Can I get just one market or one set of facilities?
Yes. Send the market or the list of facilities you are working on and we will scope the data to that project.
Where does the price comparison come from?
Definitive Healthcare does not publish prices. The figure is the median of 33 purchases reported on Vendr as of February 2026.
Can I see the data before buying?
Yes. Every provider and market page is public, and the example owner report and county market are fully unlocked.
