Pasadena Park Healthcare & Wellness Center sits in a busy neighborhood with hospitals, drug stores, shopping, dining, and banks nearby, and the place offers a range of healthcare and wellness services for seniors who need skilled nursing, rehabilitation, short-term rehab after a hospital stay, or more involved medical care, so if someone needs help with everyday tasks like bathing, dressing, transfers, or taking medication, they've got help around-the-clock as well as 12-16 hours of direct nursing care each day; the staff provides support for non-ambulatory residents and those with serious health needs who depend on nurses, and there's a 24-hour call system, supervision at all times, and special care for those recovering after surgery or illness, and since the place accepts both Medicare and Medicaid, people can get some financial help paying for the certified beds, which total 99, and rooms-either semi-private, running $8,000 to $11,000 per month, or private, from $10,000 to $13,000 per month-all have private bathrooms, cable TV, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and kitchenettes.
Residents get regular housekeeping, laundry, and help moving in if needed, and the facility takes care to offer meal prep and service by a chef, with restaurant-style dining and diets that can handle allergies or diabetes, and folks can use the fitness room, spa/sauna, outdoor walking paths, library, movie theater, game room, and arts room for activities, and there's plenty to do with daily events, community-sponsored activities, and resident-run programs, plus music, education, and mental health support. For residents who use walkers, wheelchairs, or need mobility beds, there's support, and community transportation is available, along with on-site guest parking, and the whole place tries to make life easier with services like move-in coordination and a concierge, and a focus on supporting families too.
The nursing staff, led by manager Sol Majer since 2011, have nurse turnover at 31%, which is better than the state average, and residents see an average of 4.07 nurse hours per day, under the state's 4.5 average, with about 91 people living there daily, and there are medical services like podiatry, wound care, nurses, medication management, physical therapy, and occupational therapy, along with personal care for grooming, bathing, and toileting, so physical and mental health is covered. Facility amenities include a sprinkler system, washers and dryers, fitness center, beauty salon, and plenty of safety and handicap features, and the staff encourages tours, reviews of inspection and certification documents, and full assessments to make sure it's the right fit.
While Pasadena Park has a wellness focus aimed at restoring and supporting residents' independence and strength, it's also had a number of inspection deficiencies, with 55 total, including four related to infections and others for not providing enough respiratory care, not keeping areas as safe as they should be, and not always meeting residents' preferences and needs, so families might want to look at the reports before making a decision. The ownership is for-profit, run as a limited liability company, and skilled nursing is available for very frail residents and those with more complicated recovery, and the staff works to help with both physical recovery and spiritual well-being in a community meant to be both comfortable and supportive. Certified beds are expected to be available in June 2025.
