ARLINGTON, Va. & SILVER SPRING, Md. - eMusicWire -- Vierra Communities, a third-generation family-owned provider of skilled nursing and rehabilitation services, announced that effective July 1, 2026, it will add operations of two skilled nursing facilities in the Washington metropolitan region: Woodside Rehab & Nursing in Silver Spring, Maryland, and Admiral Health & Rehab in Arlington, Virginia.

The addition expands Vierra's operating portfolio to five communities across Maryland and Virginia, joining Carriage Hill Bethesda Health & Rehab, St. Elizabeth Rehab & Nursing, and Vierra Falls Church Health & Rehab.

While the facilities are new additions to Vierra's operating platform, they have been part of the Vucich family legacy for generations. Both communities were originally developed by the Vucich family in the 1960s and 1970s and have remained under family ownership ever since. For many years, the facilities were operated by third-party providers. Beginning July 1, they will once again be operated directly by the family that built them.

"These communities have been part of our family's story for more than fifty years," said Derek Vucich, President of Vierra Communities. "My grandfather originally developed both buildings, and bringing them back under direct family operation is a full-circle moment. While we're proud to continue his legacy, it's our team that will define the future of these communities. Our clinicians, caregivers, department leaders, and support teams have built a reputation for delivering exceptional care, and we're excited to bring that same commitment to Woodside and Admiral."

A Return to Family Stewardship

Originally developed by the Vucich family during the 1960s and 1970s, both locations have served residents and families throughout the Washington metropolitan region for decades. Although ownership never changed hands, the facilities were operated by third-party providers for many years.

Today, under third-generation leadership, Vierra is bringing these communities back under direct family stewardship and investing in their next chapter. The transition reflects Vierra's commitment to combining experienced clinical leadership, dedicated team members, innovative rehabilitation programs, and ongoing capital investment to create exceptional environments for residents, families, and employees alike.

"As we welcome Woodside and Admiral into the Vierra family of operated communities, our focus is simple," added Vucich. "Support our team members, deliver outstanding care, invest in our buildings, and ensure these communities continue serving residents and families for generations to come."
