Get an email when this record changes
One email a day naming what moved on THE SHEPHERD'S CENTER: 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 July 2026: STEVEN D SCHARTZ no longer appears as MANAGING CONTROL - GOVERNING BODY 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 THE SHEPHERD'S CENTER
This page shows the record as it stands today. The report is the citable document: the same figures with the cell each came from, and beyond this page — five facilities of a similar size in Kansas at the same fiscal year, listed by name; every change on the record rather than the recent ones below; the inspection and staffing history in blocks of their own; and a citation block naming every CMS file it was read from.
Every figure on this page is printed as it appears in the CMS file named beside it. A figure that does not match its file? Tell us on the corrections page, quoting certification number 175570.
