The Bedford County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously April 25 to continue operating the Bedford County Nursing Home as a county‑managed facility rather than selling it to a private buyer.
County staff said the board held a public hearing on April 18 about a potential sale to an identified purchaser, American Healthcare LLC, but staff added that “American Healthcare withdrew their offer a couple hours before that public hearing,” leaving the board to weigh public feedback.
Supervisor Tammy Parker moved the resolution (R042522‑07) to retain county operation; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call, with the chair and all supervisors voting yes. The resolution directs the county to continue facility operations under county management and not to pursue a sale at this time.
Board members and staff discussed public testimony from the earlier hearing and expressed interest in further structured citizen input; one supervisor recommended forming a commission or advisory panel of local experts and volunteers to support the nursing home’s success.
No sale was finalized and no transfer agreement was adopted; the formal resolution instructs staff to continue county management while the board considers further steps and possible committees to advise operations.
