BenCura

What BenCura does

BenCura is a privately-held contract rehabilitation therapy provider headquartered in Kennesaw, Georgia. Founded circa 2011 by Sheewayne Sandoval as Speech and Language Healthcare Practice and rebranded to BenCura in 2025, the company delivers physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology services to acute care hospitals, critical access hospitals, hospital-based outpatient clinics, and skilled nursing facilities under multi-year managed-services contracts. The firm positions itself as a lower total-cost-of-care alternative to in-house therapy models, with deep experience serving rural and critical-access facilities.

The core service offering is supplemented by a proprietary platform of clinical and analytics modules, including Clinical Pathways (customized post-surgical care protocols), Cura Functional Outcome Programs (interdisciplinary care coordination), Claims-to-Cash and Cash-to-Claims reporting, PDPM Triple Check compliance verification, CMI Optimization Review, Referral Insight Summary, and PEPPER/CASPER analysis tied to Five-Star Quality Measures. A standardized clinical programming suite covers Pulmonary Wellness, Motion Matters, Live Well ADL, Stand Up for Seating, Walk it Out, Eat Well Swallow Safe, Dignity & Wellness, and Safe Steps fall prevention.

In 2025, BenCura launched BenCura University (BCU), a five-school education platform (Clinical Excellence, Compliance & Billing, Leadership & Operations, Partner Success, Wellness & Professional Growth) distributed free to partner facilities and offered to non-partners. The firm's go-to-market is sales-led enterprise field sales via discovery calls, in-person meetings, and industry events, supported by content marketing and educational resources. Revenue is generated primarily through managed-services contracts, with subscription-style incremental revenue from BCU access for non-partner facilities. The company is founder-controlled, bootstrapped (no disclosed funding rounds), and operates with 51-100 employees.
