Community Health and Rehabilitation Center was co-owned by four individuals as of the first quarter of 2026, as reported by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

The current owners of Community Health and Rehabilitation Center are shown in the table below.

This facility operates as a for-profit nursing home.

In this period, the facility maintained an overall CMS rating of 4, topping Florida’s average for nursing homes of 3.3. CMS bases its ratings on indicators like health inspection results, staffing figures, and quality of care standards for residents.

Records show Community Health and Rehabilitation Center cared for approximately 97.4 residents per day and had a total of 120 beds in Q1 2026. The facility is not attached to a hospital.

No fines or penalties were recorded against Community Health and Rehabilitation Center during the first quarter of 2026.

There were 4 for-profit nursing homes operating in Bay County, Florida at that time.

Data from the U.S. Census Bureau show that the older adult segment in the nation is expanding, while populations of younger citizens are shrinking. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and older saw a 13% increase, as those under 18 declined by 1.7%. Across the past 100 years, the nation’s older population has surged from 4.9 million in 1920 to beyond 61 million in 2024.

Research from 2021 projects that almost half of that group—about 28 million adults—may ultimately require long-term services and supports. More than one-third could need nursing home assistance specifically.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
