SanStone Health and Rehabilitation, Who are you really? I see the name SanStone associated with, Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation, Beystone, Sanford Health and Rehabilitation, StoneCreek Health and Rehabilitation, Madison Health and Rehabilitation, and Oak Forest Health and Rehabilitation.
Then I came across a website that claims that Ohio based Sprenger Health Care, had acquired two new properties, Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation, and Stone Creek Health and Rehabilitation.
Is SanStone just another way to spell Sprenger?
The local paper says a group of local doctors bought Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation. Hendersonville Physicians and Associates, led by Dr. Larry Joe Russell. Upon searching the NC Secretary of State website, there is no Dr. Larry Joe Russell on the documents. There are a couple of local doctors, their wives, and a long list of Sprengers, and Sprenger owned businesses. Hardly sounds like one little small town doctor masterminded the whole affair. Dr. Larry Joe Russell appears to be nothing more than a doctor with too many patients, and a puppet of the Sprenger monopoly.
This may not seem like a big deal to you right now. But rest assured the minute you trust someone you care about, to these ruthless profiteers, you will care.You will see the substandard level of care their patients are subject to. What you will not see, is the compassion, and level of care they advertise on WLOS channel 13, in Asheville NC. " Our promise is to care for our patients as if they were our own family. "  Hardly proven by the yearly inspection and complaints posted on Medicare.gov. Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation has a two star rating, and Beystone has a one star rating, well below average. Is that how they treat their family members?
If you need one of these types of facilities, do your research. Go to Medicare.gov, and then look at some of the private reviews. Medicare.gov, is not an accurate representation of what the place is actually like, but it is a starting point..The NC DHHS never seems to find a valid complaint, although many are filed. Looks a lot like someone (NCDHHS) is getting paid to turn the other way, and not find any problems
 Nursing - Rehabilitation centers are almost all owned and operated by huge corporations. For some reason there are a lot of these companies in Ohio. The Sprengers are from Ohio??? Dr. Larry Joe Russell was hatched in Kentucky, there are quite a few Nursing - Rehabilitation centers headquartered there as well. SanStone is nothing but a shell corporation it is not listed as a corporation on the NC Secretary of State website. It is there to absorb any liability, in the event they ever actually find something wrong. This is the method they use to steal medicare and medicaid monies. We ( US taxpayers ) are paying for the private planes and yachts, golf tournaments and exclusive homes they live in. Sure gets my blood boiling, what about you?
