Raydiant Health Care of Brandon

Raydiant Health Care of Brandon sits in Brandon, Florida, and offers different levels of senior care, but it's faced many challenges over the years and has changed ownership more than once since early 2022, and there's been a lot of review from the Florida health agency because of this. The main building's a skilled nursing center with 120 beds, made up of four private rooms and fifty-six semi-private rooms, and along with help for everyday needs and medication management, it provides round-the-clock medical care, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, rehab between hospital and home, wound care, IV therapy, and care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, including memory support and activities meant to help with memory, and for folks who need more independence, there's a connected community called Hawthorne Inn of Brandon that has assisted living, independent living with easy upkeep, and memory care, too. The place runs planned activities like arts and crafts and group movies, has a garden, patio, outside areas, a beauty and barber shop, pastoral support, and even transportation for doctor's appointments or outings-meals and snacks are provided every day, and there's a rehab gym for therapy. It tries to focus on privacy, ethics, family caregiving resources, and a supportive environment for both staff and people living there, accepting many types of payment, from Medicare and Medicaid to private insurance and self-pay, but services may have changed, since it lost its Centers for Medicare and Medicaid contract on July 6 after being cited for serious care problems, such as not keeping proper medical records, missing medication times, and letting uncertified nurse aides work more hours than the law allows, and it's rated one star on the federal five-star scale, which marks it as below most nursing facilities in quality. Because of these problems and the loss of federal funds, about eighty-seven residents were relocated, and the nursing home side has now been closed, though there are still different levels of care available at the linked assisted living communities and some outpatient rehab services can still be accessed, all with the aim of helping people get better or have a safe place to live if needed.
