Saber Healthcare Group

What Saber Healthcare Group does

Saber Healthcare Group is a private, multi-state operator of senior care facilities headquartered in Beachwood, Ohio (with original incorporation in Cleveland, Ohio in 2001). The company provides a continuum of post-acute and residential care services through over 160 affiliated skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and assisted living communities across five states — Ohio, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, and North Carolina — serving approximately 12,000 patients daily with a workforce of roughly 15,000-16,000 caregivers.

The service portfolio spans four layers. Core services include 24/7 skilled nursing, rehabilitation (physical, occupational, speech therapy), long-term care, assisted living, memory care, and personal care. Specialty clinical services include on-site dialysis care, ventilator management and weaning, pulmonary care (including COPD and sleep apnea), and cardiac care with IV therapy and LVAD management. Differentiated clinical programs overlay the core services, notably the PATH Program (Progressive Approach to Home), an evidence-based transitional care model incorporating the INTERACT Heart Failure Society of America Heart Failure Score to reduce hospital readmissions; Saber University, a staff training platform with simulation labs and classroom-style nursing education; X-Plain multimedia patient education; and the Saber C.A.R.E.S. compliance initiative.

Saber generates revenue predominantly through managed-services reimbursement — Medicare Part A/B for skilled nursing and outpatient therapy, Medicaid for long-term care and assisted living, and private pay / long-term care insurance for higher-acuity residential services. The company participates in the CMS Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) initiative, positioning it for value-based care contracts. Customer acquisition is driven by hospital and physician referral networks, NRC Health public ratings (3.74/5 across 15,646 ratings), community outreach, and content marketing via the company blog and Saber University. Recent strategic activity (2025-2026) includes the affiliation of 27 new skilled nursing facilities across three states, four additional Pennsylvania facilities, adoption of the BAF staffing floor, and the appointment of the company's first-ever Chief of Government Affairs.
