Sunbridge Healthcare, LLC, doing business as Merry Wood Lodge, is a for-profit limited liability company that provides healthcare services to veterans through federal contracts. Registered with SAM.gov since April 2004, the company primarily serves the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 (VISN 7) by offering community nursing home care, adult day health services, respite care, case management, and other non-residential support programs. Merry Wood Lodge operates as a skilled nursing facility located in Elmore, Alabama, focusing on delivering comprehensive care to veterans in central Alabama.

Through its federal contract awards, Sunbridge Healthcare has consistently provided a range of healthcare services to support veterans. These services include express report services, community nursing home care, and non-residential care programs. The company has been awarded multiple delivery orders by VISN 7, with contract values ranging from approximately $31,000 to over $2 million. Notable awards include a $2,125,576.35 contract for community nursing home services from April to September 2022, and a $589,632.44 contract for non-residential care and case management services from January to March 2021. All of these contracts were awarded without set-asides, indicating open competition. The primary funding agency for these awards has been the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically through VISN 7, with no mention of subcontractors or prime partners in the available information.

Sunbridge Healthcare currently holds two active indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs) with VISN 7. The first is a $4.4 million single-award IDC awarded in July 2023, set to run through July 2028, for providing community nursing home services across central Alabama. The second is a $734,000 single-award IDC awarded in August 2022, running through August 2023, for procuring non-residential veteran care programs such as adult day health, respite, and case management. Previously, the company held a $6.3 million IDC from August 2020 to August 2022 for similar services. These IDCs enable VISN 7 to quickly acquire healthcare support services from Merry Wood Lodge as needed to serve Alabama's veteran population. The contracts are part of VISN 7's broader effort to engage skilled nursing facilities across Alabama in providing community nursing home care for veterans through an open and continuous solicitation process.
