Sanford Health & Rehabilitation sits in Sanford, NC, and offers both short-term rehabilitation and long-term skilled nursing care. It has 131 certified beds, mostly filled, and on most days about 106 residents live there. The facility serves people who need extra help after leaving the hospital before they go home and also cares for the very frail who need ongoing nursing support. Sanford Health & Rehabilitation provides services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy through its partner, Broad River Rehab, and has a fully equipped gym for rehab. Residents also receive wound care, nutritional care, and access to private or semi-private rooms, a dining hall for meals, a library, and onsite amenities like a beautician, barbershop, air conditioning, WiFi, and parking with accessible restrooms.
Managed by Ardent Health And Rehabilitation Co since 2005, this for-profit facility belongs to the SanStone community and the North Carolina Health Care Facilities Association. The staffing level averages 3.46 nurse hours per resident each day, though the nurse turnover rate is fairly high at 40.2%. Sanford Health & Rehabilitation has gone through several inspections and complaint investigations, most recently in April 2025, June 2024, and January 2024. Over time, inspectors found 31 total deficiencies, including three related to infection, and some related to medication errors, resident assessment, care planning, and pharmacy services. Reports have also noted problems with the PASARR screening, which checks for mental disorders or intellectual disabilities. A health facility administrator, Michael McMorris, oversees the center. Residents get wheelchair access, therapy, nursing services, and features expected from a skilled nursing facility, but like any place, there are strengths and weaknesses-some of which are found in public inspection and health reports.
