On 1 July 2026: RANDALL LIGHT no longer appears as CORPORATE DIRECTOR in the Medicare enrollment ownership file. That is one line of the alert.

The citable document for United Transitional Care 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 West Virginia 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 515107.
