For the first quarter of 2026, Lehigh Acres Healthcare & Rehab Center was under the ownership of Lehigh Acres Skilled Nursing Facility Holdco, LLC, according to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The Lee County nursing home has had this ownership since March 23, 2022.

The facility is registered as a for-profit organization.

Throughout this period, Lehigh Acres Healthcare & Rehab Center maintained an overall rating of 2 stars from CMS, which trails the Florida state nursing home average of 3.3. CMS bases its evaluations on factors including results from health inspections, staff levels, and the overall quality of care for residents.

Data indicates the nursing home served an average of 116.3 residents each day in the first quarter of 2026, with 128 available beds. The facility does not have hospital-based operations.

In the same reporting period, Lehigh Acres Healthcare & Rehab Center incurred 2 fines that amounted to $132,889 and faced two penalties.

Lee County, Florida, had a total of 10 for-profit nursing homes.

U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the country’s older adult demographic continues rising as younger groups decline. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and older rose 13%, while those under 18 decreased by 1.7%. The nation’s senior population has expanded significantly over the last 100 years, from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.

A 2021 report found that nearly half of this age bracket, or roughly 28 million people, could require some form of long-term services and supports. The research also projects that more than a third of them may ultimately need nursing home care.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director for 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.”
