A family-owned company, we have grown to become one of the nation’s largest providers of post-acute care, which includes skilled nursing rehabilitation centers, long-term care centers, assisted living communities, independent rehabilitation centers, and long-term acute care hospitals (LTACH).

Since 1984, we have provided superior, comprehensive management services for the development and management of adult living communities. We have a single job description at CommuniCare, "to reach out with our hearts and touch the hearts of others."

Through this effort we create "Caring Communities" where staff, residents, clients, and family members care for and about one another.

Since 1984, CommuniCare Family of Companies has been committed to delivering exceptional person-centered care as a national leader in post-acute care for those that are chronically ill or have complex conditions.

Our more than 150 skilled nursing, assisted living, and long-term care facilities deliver sophisticated and transformative care to nearly 16,000 residents and patients at any given time.

CommuniCare employs more than 19,000 employees across six states (Ohio, Indiana, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania).

As a family owned and operated company, family and heart are woven into every aspect of our continuum of care.

Our mission, to serve with pride, is evident and a quality residents, families and community partners have come to expect and trust.

Dedicated to improving the lives of seniors, we put extraordinary service above all else.

Because of this, our facilities are a better place for residents to live, patients to stay, employees to work and families to heal.
