Every row carries lineage back to the exact CMS source file that produced it. ## Key facts | | | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Snowflake** | `DWV.SKILLED_NURSING_FACILITY_CHANGE_OF_OWNERSHIP__OWNER_INFORMATION` | | **Databricks** | `cms_dwv.skilled_nursing_facility_change_of_ownership__owner_information` | | **Coverage** | Jul 2024 – Mar 2026 | | **Rows** | 982,973 (total across all reporting periods) | | **Cadence** | Quarterly | | **Update pattern** | Time-partitioned — each file adds one reporting period | | **CMS published** | 2026-04-20 | | **Loaded** | 2026-04-20 | | **Columns** | 34 data + 6 lineage | | **Identifiers** | ZIP codes | | **File versions** | 9 | | **License** | CMS public data — U.S. Government work | | **Platforms** | Snowflake Marketplace · Databricks Delta Sharing | Included in the CMS Data Feeds Dataset — [start a free trial on Snowflake Marketplace](https://app.snowflake.com/marketplace/listing/GZT1Z125KDH/dataplex-consulting-data-products-cms-data-feeds-dataset). {% hint style="success" %} **Current** — CMS last published this feed on 2026-04-20.
