UNC Health Southeastern is exploring the transfer of ownership of its long-term care facility, WoodHaven Nursing Center, to Liberty Healthcare and Rehabilitation Services.
“UNC Health Southeastern sought a partner that specializes in long-term care and would commit to opening all available beds at the WoodHaven Nursing Center for our community,” said UNC Health Southeastern President/CEO Chris Ellington. “The added availability of long-term care beds is needed in our area and will help add more jobs to our local economy.”
UNC Health Southeastern is committed to an agreement which guarantees that all teammates will retain employment, either by transitioning into the new long-term care agency, or transferring into an available position within its health system.
WoodHaven currently employs 85 with a typical census of 78 residents, including 52 long-term care residents, and 15 Alzheimer’s and 11 short-term rehabilitation patients.
In December 1986, UNC Health Southeastern moved long-term care beds from its medical center to the stand-alone WoodHaven Nursing Center. The Alzheimer’s wing opened in 1989 and short-term rehabilitation was added in 2015. Read more.
