What happened
On June 1, 2026, Asheville Victoria NC Opco LLC d/b/a Elevate Health & Rehabilitation ("Elevate Health & Rehabilitation") learned that an unauthorized actor had accessed a trusted vendor's system using login credentials stolen from a different vendor. According to the notice filed with the Massachusetts Attorney General, the unauthorized access occurred between November 25 and November 28, 2025, and certain resident files were copied during that period. The facility states that it disabled the compromised credentials, reset passwords, engaged outside cybersecurity specialists and legal counsel, and reported the incident to the FBI.
Elevate Health & Rehabilitation began mailing written notices to affected individuals on July 31, 2026. The notice reports that the information involved may have included resident names, dates of birth, home and email addresses, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, patient account numbers, and medical details such as diagnoses, lab results, medications, and treatment information. The company states that its ongoing forensic analysis indicates the copied files have been permanently deleted and were not published. Affected individuals are being offered two years of identity theft protection through IDX, which includes credit and CyberScan monitoring, a $1 million identity theft insurance policy, and fully managed identity recovery services, with an enrollment deadline of October 31, 2026.
Skilled nursing facilities hold some of the most sensitive information a person can have on file, and HIPAA and various state laws require providers and their vendors to safeguard it. Our firm is reviewing several aspects of this incident, including the roughly six months between the November 2025 intrusion and the facility's June 2026 discovery of it, how credentials stolen from one vendor were able to unlock a second vendor's system, and the basis for the conclusion that the copied files were deleted.

Keep your notice letter, then enroll in the free IDX identity theft protection before the October 31, 2026 deadline by calling 1-833-788-9712 or using the enrollment link in your letter.
