Advanced Care Center

Advanced Care Center sits in Clearwater, Florida, as an average-sized nursing home with 120 certified beds and about 113 residents daily, and lately, new management has taken over, which might mean some things may change when it comes to standards or routines there, and folks will find that the facility has a secure memory care unit and offers a wide list of services like medication management, speech therapy, wound care, tracheotomy care, amputee recovery, IV antibiotic therapy, dentistry, podiatry, pain management, physical, occupational, and recreational therapy, respiratory therapy, mental health support, diabetes management, nutritional counseling, pharmacy and lab work, x-rays, optometry, and more. The place holds a B+ overall grade with an A+ on recent inspections, though there are documented deficiencies noted in reports, things like resident care planning, screenings for mental health or disability, and maintaining a clean environment, with no actual harm found but some had potential for more than minimal harm, so you get the good with what still needs work. This center allows both Medicare and Medicaid and has inpatient rehab, post-acute, respite, and hospice care, along with having registered nurses, LPNs, CNAs, therapists, and other medical staff available with a daily average of 3.51 nurse hours per resident, just below the state average, plus a relatively high nursing turnover rate around 54.8%. There are useful property amenities like dining rooms and activity rooms, a fitness center, salon/barbershop, kitchens, a garden, guest parking, housekeeping, laundry services, and even Wi-Fi, cable TV, and air conditioning in both private and semi-private rooms with some featuring kitchenettes and private bathrooms. Residents get support with walking, wheelchairs, bathing, dressing, toileting, meals, laundry, medication, wound care, and therapy, and there's a strong focus on tailored care plans where staff-doctors and therapists-adapt treatment for each person, whether it's physical therapy to boost strength, palliative care to ease symptoms, or specialized help in areas like respiratory or complex wound needs, and when someone needs extra help, personal care assistants offer attention all round the clock through the 24-hour call system and supervision. The atmosphere leans friendly and supportive, with knowledgeable staff who try to make things comfortable, and the place stays busy with most beds full almost all the time. Meals come prepared daily, with nutrition managed by a professional chef, and there's always a mix of scheduled activities, arts and crafts, social programs, health and wellness offerings, movie nights, gardens for sitting, game rooms, and outings. Diagnostic and specialty medical services cover needs right on-site, from labs to imaging and urgent care. Families can schedule tours or virtual visits, read up on inspection records and pricing, and request initial consultations to discuss specific care needs or get info on Medicare, Medicaid, or long-term care insurance. The facility has an open-door policy for licensed clinicians working shifts, and a network of certified, experienced staff covers all shifts around the clock. The Advanced Care Center emphasizes health care and safety but doesn't shy away from showing inspection scores or discussing where they've got room for improvement, and while you won't find perfection, you'll see plenty of opportunities for full-service medical and personal care-especially for seniors with complex needs or those recovering from illness or surgery. The facility has both resident councils-meaning residents can discuss concerns or ideas-and runs community outreach and wellness classes as part of its wider approach to care. The place connects well to area hospitals too, making transfers or emergency visits quick if they're needed. Residents can expect help with their individual goals, a supportive community, and an environment that tries to balance medical attention with comfort, privacy, and the daily things that help a person feel at home.
