It's worth asking if you're curious or have a good relationship with the provider. Some may be willing to tell all about their ownership or management situation if prompted politely.

I know of a childcare center that was acquired recently. Not sure if by PE or just another business, but the employees are less than thrilled with the changes.

having work in an industry affected by PE buyouts, a lot of these are transactions acted on at management level by businessmen and MBAs/consultants in their offices with no clinician input, yet the hate seems directed at front-line staff.
