Emerald Health & Rehab Center

Emerald Health & Rehab Center, located at 54 Red Mulberry Way in Lillington, North Carolina, is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility operated by Saber Healthcare Group. Serving residents of Harnett County and the surrounding region, Emerald Health combines professional medical care with the warmth and community spirit that defines this growing area of central North Carolina. Lillington is the charming county seat of Harnett County, situated along the Cape Fear River in the heart of the North Carolina sandhills region. The town has experienced steady growth in recent years and offers a friendly small-town atmosphere while remaining well-connected to larger regional centers. One of the area's most notable nearby landmarks is Campbell University in Buies Creek, just minutes from Lillington — a vibrant academic community that adds cultural life, medical resources, and a youthful energy to the area. For medical needs, Betsy Johnson Regional Hospital — part of the Cape Fear Valley Health system — in nearby Dunn provides emergency services and inpatient care to Harnett County residents. The broader Cape Fear Valley Health network in Fayetteville, approximately 35 miles south via US-401, offers comprehensive specialty services, advanced surgical care, and cancer treatment resources. Central Carolina Hospital in Sanford is also accessible for families coming from the northern part of the county. Harnett County's natural setting is one of its great appeals. The Cape Fear River corridor offers scenic beauty and fishing opportunities, and Raven Rock State Park — located in nearby Sanford — provides beautiful hiking trails and geological wonders just a short drive away. The region's proximity to Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg) means the area has a strong culture of service, community resilience, and support networks that extend to senior care. Saber Healthcare Group's proven track record in post-acute care means residents at Emerald Health & Rehab Center benefit from structured therapy programs, skilled clinical teams, and a culture of continuous quality improvement — all designed to help residents recover with confidence and comfort.
