Endurance Healthcare leads with Independent CHOW (Change of Ownership) monitoring services for Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) across Pennsylvania.

  • Weekly status reporting with objective metrics & evidence logs
  • Coordination with buyer/seller, counsel, lenders, and regulators
  • POC drafting support, tracking, IJ/SOC verification, and directed plan follow-through

Why it matters

  • De-risks closing by surfacing issues early and documenting remediation
  • Builds regulator confidence with independent verification
  • Protects residents while stabilizing operations and staffing
  • Reduces risk of DPNA and helps prevent or lower CMP exposure
  • Supports continuity of care and revenue during transition
