About Ciena Healthcare/Laurel Health Care
Ciena Healthcare, which merged with Laurel Health Care Company, operates a network of skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities under both brand names. Families may encounter sites named “Laurels” or “Ciena,” but they are managed under the same corporate umbrella ([71e9c68b75aed439d89a-e964a28bf02fe3c76b9e69512811de50.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com](https://71e9c68b75aed439d89a-e964a28bf02fe3c76b9e69512811de50.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com/LS-Spring-2022-FNL-WEB.pdf?utm_source=openai)).
Laurel Health Care Company was founded by Dennis G. Sherman and Thomas F. Franke, with operations beginning in 1992 (first facility in Hendersonville, North Carolina), corporate office opened in 1998, and merged with Ciena Healthcare in 2016 ([71e9c68b75aed439d89a-e964a28bf02fe3c76b9e69512811de50.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com](https://71e9c68b75aed439d89a-e964a28bf02fe3c76b9e69512811de50.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com/LS-Spring-2022-FNL-WEB.pdf?utm_source=openai)).
Ciena Healthcare was founded by Mohammad Qazi in 1998, is privately held, and headquartered in Southfield, Michigan. The organization manages approximately 83 facilities across five states ([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/who-owns-ciena-healthcare-ownership-and-leadership/?utm_source=openai)).
Ciena operates as a for‑profit entity across multiple ownership formats—corporation, LLC, and individuals—handling skilled nursing, rehabilitation, sub‑acute, and assisted living services. Most of its facilities are certified for both Medicare and Medicaid ([cienahealthcare.com](https://www.cienahealthcare.com/company/about/?utm_source=openai)).
Ciena Healthcare is structured as a privately owned management company, with Qazi as founder and owner. He has stepped back from day‑to‑day operations and appointed David Parker (formerly senior care division president at ProMedica and a ManorCare executive) as CEO to handle operations, while Qazi focuses on strategic planning ([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/who-owns-ciena-healthcare-ownership-and-leadership/?utm_source=openai)).
