Parkside Health and Rehabilitation

Parkside Health and Rehabilitation in DeLand, Florida, is a skilled nursing facility offering both long-term and short-term care with a focus on post-acute rehabilitation, and it provides services for residents needing help with chronic illness or recovering after surgery, and they also offer assisted living and memory care in a secured unit, so the place has a mix of services all under one roof. There are certified beds for up to 122 residents, and lately, an average day sees around 109 people living there, and folks have access to 24/7 nursing care and a range of therapies like physical, occupational, speech, cognitive, and adaptive treatments which are all designed to help residents get back on their feet or stay as healthy as possible, and they also have wound care, pain management, post-surgical care, and palliative and respite support for those who need extra attention. Parkside does have joint commission accreditation, which means outside professionals have looked over their services, but it's important to know the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have reported documented deficiencies in their inspection reports-including one related to resident assessments and care planning (F0657 severity level), and another about nutrition and dietary services (F0812 severity level). The nurse turnover rate at Parkside runs at 63.4%, which is higher than the Florida average, and nursing staff hours per resident are also below the state's typical numbers, sitting at 3.33 hours instead of the usual 3.9. Blue Spring Healthcare Partners LLC, Samuel Gutman, and Parkside Operations Holdings LLC have ownership stakes in the facility, and the place operates as a for-profit business, but that doesn't take away from their mission, which is to help every resident lead a better-quality life with individualized care plans, and the team aims to address not only physical needs but emotional, social, spiritual, and psychological health, because it all matters. The facility features spacious, thoughtfully planned common spaces, outdoor areas for getting some fresh air, and amenities like fine dining, cable TV, internet, and telephone in semi-private rooms, and there's a full schedule of social activities, recreational programming, and therapeutic recreation, all meant to keep folks engaged and feeling at home. Parkside also provides social services and community programs, and they keep updating what they offer so residents have access to not just care, but also meaningful engagement, and they remain committed to supporting independence and personal growth for each resident, even as they manage the challenges that come with high staff turnover or state-reported deficiencies, and overall, people say the place has a welcoming feel and tries to personalize each resident's experience as much as possible.
