Aspire at Saint Lucie sits in Fort Pierce, FL, at 611 S 13th St and offers a wide range of senior living and care options, so you get things like skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, independent living, assisted living, and adult day services, and though right now they aren't taking new patients, they manage a large site with 171 certified beds and have served many local seniors over the years. The place accepts Medicaid and Medicare, and there's support for both daily living help-like bathing, dressing, and taking medicines-and more medical or hands-on nursing care, with a focus on interactions between staff and residents that are both personal and respectful, using what they call "caring hearts and skilled hands." Aspire at Saint Lucie's staff works under Aspire Health Group and Aspire Mgt LLC, with day-to-day control since September 2023, and Nochum Freund also involved in management. Folks working here talk about being Ambassadors of Care, and they treat their residents much like family, always looking for people who care deeply about helping others, so they're often searching for new staff.
The facility provides meal services meant to be nutritious and tasty, which helps many residents feel better and enjoy day-to-day life at mealtime, and the team's used to providing special memory care so residents with memory issues stay safe and comfortable, with areas designed to prevent wandering and confusion. There's a Skilled Nursing Facility, and services stretch to home care, home health care that's Medicare-certified, and hospice care, including referrals, which helps cover a range of long-term needs, not just for the residents but also for their loved ones needing answers or help. Their nurse turnover is lower than average at 16.9% compared to the state's 43.6%, though they sometimes run a little lean, with nurse staffing at 3.48 hours per resident per day, which is less than Florida's average. Staff speak English and update their provider directory monthly.
Reports show Aspire at Saint Lucie has received 65 total care-related deficiencies in inspections over the years, with two infection-related and a recent March 20, 2025, inspection calling out 22 items, including concerns about infection control and making sure residents know their rights around Medicaid and Medicare payments; these issues didn't result in harm but did have potential to cause trouble. The facility is a member of the Consulate Health Care family, and they try to create a sense of community where people can feel cared for and respected, no matter what kind of support or health care they need.
