Get an email when this record changes

One email a day naming what moved on Bear Lake Memorial Skilled Nursing Facility: the field, the value before, the value after, and the date of the file that first showed it.

The facility alert follows this one record: a cost report filed or a figure on one changed, an inspection, a deficiency or a penalty recorded, an owner added or removed. The certification number arrives filled in.

On 1 April 2026: GARY S GRIFFIN no longer appears as 5% OR GREATER DIRECT OWNERSHIP INTEREST in the Medicare enrollment ownership file. That is one line of the alert.

What the alerts are, and what a day of them looks like, is on the alerts page.

The citable document for Bear Lake Memorial Skilled Nursing Facility

This page shows the record as it stands today.
