Overview of Woodlands Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Under Glen McCall’s leadership, Woodlands Nursing & Rehabilitation Center delivers services in Fayetteville, North Carolina, spanning the full spectrum of post-acute and long-term care: short-term rehabilitation, assisted living, skilled nursing, outpatient therapy, hospice, respite, palliative care, and extended residential stays. The clinical infrastructure includes licensed nursing staff (RNs, LPNs, CNAs) available 24 hours daily and on-site therapy specialists in physical, occupational, and speech disciplines.

The therapeutic model targets recovery from acute events such as strokes, cardiac procedures, surgeries, and trauma, with emphasis on functional restoration and pain management through in-house clinical services and interdisciplinary care planning. Programming emphasizes resident autonomy and quality of life through daily structured activities, flexible meal options responsive to dietary preferences, and accommodation of pets and liberal visiting access.

Critically, Woodlands does not appear in the CMS Medicare/Medicaid certification registry. Its status as non-certified as a traditional skilled nursing facility places the facility outside federal inspection, quality-reporting, and regulatory oversight structures. The facility operates according to a different regulatory or operational framework than Medicare-certified nursing homes.

Woodlands Nursing & Rehabilitation Center provides nursing and rehabilitation services in Fayetteville but lacks the federal certification and corresponding public oversight that characterize CMS-regulated skilled nursing facilities.
