Lifeworks Rehab Nursing Homes: Group Profile, Ownership, and CMS Record

Who Is Lifeworks Rehab?

Lifeworks Rehab is the name CMS assigns to a group of skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities concentrated in Virginia and North Carolina, with additional homes in Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. CMS groups these facilities together because they share common ownership or management relationships.^[3]

By number of CMS-affiliated skilled nursing facilities, the group is tied as the twenty-fourth-largest nursing home chain in the United States.^[3]

What Kind of Chain Is Lifeworks Rehab?

Lifeworks is a skilled nursing facility (SNF) group linked by shared ownership and management relationships. Skilled nursing facilities care for patients who need 24-hour nursing care, often after a hospital stay, and are rated on the federal CMS five-star scale.^[1]

Who Owns Lifeworks Rehab?

"Lifeworks Rehab" is the name CMS assigns to this group. In the CMS ownership records, the owners are listed mainly as family trusts and regional management companies rather than a company named Lifeworks.^[3] Within the CMS data, the facilities are operated as for-profit entities grouped under chain ID 768.^[1] Because responsibility is spread across these entities, identifying the specific owning, operating, and management entities for any individual facility is an important early step when a resident is harmed.^[1]

How Big Is the Lifeworks Rehab Nursing Home Chain?

Lifeworks Rehab by the Numbers

Federal CMS data describes the operation's scale:

Facility, state, and bed counts are from the CMS Nursing Home Chain Performance Measures dataset (most recent 2026 release).^[3]

• The most recent federal CMS chain-level data affiliates 64 nursing homes across Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia with the chain (CMS chain ID 768) — ranking it #24 of the 611 chains CMS tracks by number of facilities.^[3]
• The affiliated homes hold about 8,716 certified beds.^[3]

Lifeworks Rehab CMS Ratings and Staffing Data

The figures below are reported by CMS for the chain in the most recent CMS Nursing Home Chain Performance Measures release. CMS five-star ratings are relative, point-in-time measures calculated against other facilities nationally; they do not guarantee the quality of care any individual resident receives, and serious harm can occur at a facility regardless of its rating.

• The chain-average overall star rating was about 2.1 of 5 (the national chain average is 3.0). The chain-level component averages CMS publishes were 2.0 for health inspections, 1.6 for staffing, and 3.9 on the quality measure rating, which is largely self-reported.^[3]
• CMS data reports 25 of 61 facilities (41.0%) with a one-star ("much below average") overall rating (national rate 20.5%) and 13 facilities (20.3%) carrying a CMS abuse icon (national rate 9.7%).^[3]
• Average total nurse staffing was about 3.4 hours per resident per day (national 3.9), and reported nursing-staff turnover was about 54.1% (national 45.8%).^[3]
• CMS records show 83 fines totaling about $4.49 million and 17 Medicare payment denials across the chain in the most recent three-year window.^[3][2]

These chain-level averages describe the group as a whole and say nothing about any specific facility or any specific resident's experience. Conditions and ratings vary from home to home and change over time.

Lifeworks Rehab Nursing Home Facilities

The table below is the complete roster of the Lifeworks Rehab-affiliated nursing facilities (CMS chain ID 768) in the federal CMS Provider Information dataset (May 2026 release), which listed 66 facilities. It lists each facility's name, city and state, street address, and phone number, along with any current CMS quality flag. The chain-level totals cited above reflect the most recent CMS Nursing Home Chain Performance Measures release; this per-facility roster is the May 2026 provider-level snapshot and will be refreshed when CMS posts the corresponding provider-level file.^[1]

The "CMS Flag" column marks homes that CMS has identified as a Special Focus Facility, a Special Focus Facility Candidate, behind on inspections ("Delayed inspection"), or carrying an abuse icon. Rows shaded gold indicate a current Special Focus designation or candidacy.^[1]

Inclusion on this list reflects CMS chain-affiliation data and does not by itself indicate that any particular facility committed wrongdoing.^[1]

Special Focus Facilities and SFF Candidates in Lifeworks Rehab

The Special Focus Facility (SFF) program is run by CMS to identify nursing homes with a history of serious quality problems; CMS describes these facilities as among the poorest-performing nursing homes in the country. A "Special Focus Facility Candidate" is a home with a history of serious quality issues that has not yet been formally placed in the program.^[4]

According to the most recent CMS Nursing Home Chain Performance Measures release, Lifeworks Rehab had 3 Special Focus Facilities and 4 Special Focus Facility Candidates at the chain level.^[3] The CMS Provider Information dataset (May 2026 release) flagged 7 facilities with a Special Focus designation or candidacy and 8 facilities carrying an abuse icon at that point in time; these designations are reassessed by CMS monthly and can change.^[1]

Litigation

As with any large group of nursing facilities, individual Lifeworks-affiliated facilities have been named in civil lawsuits alleging resident injury or neglect. The resolution of any individual case depends on its own facts, and the existence of a lawsuit is not a finding of liability. The sources reviewed for this page do not reflect a major federal False Claims Act settlement against the group; this statement is limited to the sources cited here.^[1]

How Michael Hill Trial Law Investigates Claims Against Lifeworks Rehab

Michael Hill Trial Law focuses exclusively on nursing home abuse and neglect. The firm has handled more than 1,000 cases against nursing home operators and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for clients, including a $26 million verdict in Ohio.^[5]

Thin staffing and high staff turnover are among the conditions that can contribute to preventable harm in a nursing home, because residents depend on consistent, adequate staffing for basic care. A facility's overall CMS rating does not determine whether a particular resident was harmed, and serious injuries can occur at facilities with average or above-average ratings. When we investigate a claim against a Lifeworks Rehab facility, we identify the specific entities that owned, operated, and managed the home, compare the home's CMS staffing and inspection history against what happened to the resident, and obtain the facility's care records and any available documentation. The kinds of injuries and claims our firm investigates include:

• Bedsores and pressure injuries
• Falls and fractures
• Malnutrition and dehydration
• Infections and sepsis
• Medication errors
• Elopement (wandering away from a facility)
• Understaffing and neglect
• Physical or sexual assault
• Wrongful death

We are investigating claims against facilities operated under the Lifeworks Rehab name. If your loved one was injured or died in a Lifeworks Rehab nursing home, the public record on this page may be relevant to your situation. Our firm serves families nationwide.
