Thank you for visiting our website. At Anchor Care and Rehabilitation Center, we are proud be viewed as a facility that provides quality care to our residents.
Our 5-star rating was conditioned on the following results from the ACHA review team:
On this beautiful Florida day, with the onset of an unexpected “cold front,”
residents and staff braved the weather (a high of 86°) and kicked off
“National Nursing Home Week.”
Staff members raced one another, weaving in and out of the cones.
One after another, we challenged each other to the finish.
The Chaplain had the most “wins,” … but she was so fast, no one could take a picture of her! 
Last week, on National Fireman’s Day, one of our longterm residents “Ms. Tibby”
joined us in delivering our “thanks” (along with fresh cookies) to our neighboring Fire Dept.
The firemen greeted us warmly (and who wouldn’t for a basket of cookies ,
and gave us a tour of the facility. Always good for a smile, Ms. Tibby asked them for a calendar –
(yeah, that one) but they said they were still working on it.
On April 24, Signature HealthCARE of Columbia broke the World Record for longest wheelchair race, with 205 wheelchairs. The record was previously held by the Christopher Reeve Foundation, with 193 wheelchairs. Local radio station WXRQ was on hand broadcasting live from the parade, and WSMV-TV (channel 4) featured the event on its six o’clock newscast. The Columbia Daily Herald also published a front-page article.

With new paint, new flooring, etc., we’ve begun the renovation process, …
and our building gets better looking every week.
We’ve also had a few administrative changes as well. …
Keeping in step with Signature’s pillar of education and continual drive to improve,
James Meyer, our former Social Services Director has stepped up to become

Throughout the upcoming year, James will rotate throughout every department
within our facility to gain a better understanding of their responsibilities.
Anchor Care residents and staff sported their Easter bonnets as part of our Easter festivities.
Early this morning, down the halls of Anchor Care,
a rustling could be heard, but we didn’t know from where.
It peaked our curiosity, and thought it rather “funny”
that what we expected to be the Renovation Team …
… was actually the Easter Bunny.
She turned quickly when she saw us, hoping she could hide
before we caught her with the treats she’d brought …
On St. Patrick’s day, (March 17), children from Melbourne First Church of the Nazarene
came by to St. Patrick’s Good News of with the residents of Anchor Care.
They colored with the Residents and shared the concept of the Trinity (3 in 1) as St. Patrick explained using a 3-leaf clover.
To kick-off this year’s first FAB (Facility Advisory Board) meeting, HR director David Lunn and several stakeholders spearheaded the purchase of new facility t-shirts featuring our new Anchor Care logo. A surprise to our FAB team who met with us recently, they were pleased with the new shirts and the new look. Throughout the year, our regional FAB team meest with the management team at Anchor Care to see how we’re doing as a facility and to provide direction in preparation for the future.
Today, Anchor Care hosted their 1st “Chili Cookoff.”
We “flew in” regional judges from our Corporate team and submitted 9 samplings to each judge for their valued opinions.
FIRST PRIZE went to Roianne Sciarra our fabulous transportation coordinator.
