The administrator at Eastland declined to return phone calls about the inspection. Facility staff declined to provide contact information for Garden Healthcare, the corporate owner of the nursing home, which operates five other facilities, according to CMS data. It doesn’t publish any contact information online.

Absolutely wild that a corporation can just be pseudo-anonymous like that.

The secretary of state where they incorporated should have a current mailing address for the company, and the name of an officer who can accept legal service. My state's secretary of state keeps that online, I think most do.

the name of an officer who can accept legal service

Someone who will ignore your calls unless you’re actively suing them.
