Emerald Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Emerald Nursing and Rehabilitation Center sits in Hollywood, FL, and offers both short-term rehabilitation and long-term skilled nursing care for older adults and people who need much daily assistance, and what folks get here is a mix of nursing care, physical and occupational therapy, speech therapy, and help with everyday needs like bathing, dressing, medication management, transfers, and more, with staff around 24 hours a day and a call system in place if someone needs help at any hour, and you'll find they have amenities set up for patient comfort including furnished rooms with cable TV, Wi-Fi, and small kitchenettes, plus recreational activities, game rooms, a fitness room, a garden, outdoor spaces, movie nights, art and music rooms, a library, and a chef offering all-day dining, special diet options, and even restaurant-style meal service so people can eat when they want. The facility is large, with 240 certified beds and an average of around 196 residents each day as of recent counts, and within the building you'll see spaces that have been renovated and designed to be pleasant, and the place offers specialized care services for residents with dementia, Alzheimer's, diabetes, cardiac conditions, cancer, wounds, and those needing bariatric care, hospice, dialysis, post-surgical rehab, or just ongoing skilled nursing, and there's a range of therapies available most days of the week, including special cardiac and orthopedic rehab programs, respiratory therapy, pain management with newer equipment, and more. Short-term rehab sometimes means getting people strong enough to go home after a hospital stay, while long-term nursing and intermediate care is for the frail who rely on help for most things. Staff coordinate with families for move-ins, and help with transportation and parking, and residents have daily housekeeping, laundry, and dry-cleaning services, plus safety features and security. There is a mix of programs for socializing, fitness, and events led by staff and by residents themselves, with activities every day, and support for non-ambulatory residents, help with personal care, and supervision for people at risk of wandering or needing more attention, including a high level of care for those with special needs. Emerald Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a for-profit, limited liability company, run by companies and trusts related to the Philipson Family, or Hillcrest Opco Holdings LLC, and it's also part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, which means residents can often stay here as care needs change. The facility accepts both Medicare and Medicaid insurance plans, and as of June 2025, 44 of its beds are certified for certain covered services. They have a nurse to resident ratio that averages 3.71 nurse hours per person per day, and a nurse turnover rate of 17.7%. The place has had deficiencies recorded in recent inspections-about 35 reported-related to quality of life and sometimes not following all resident orders or preferences, so it's important to ask staff about any concerns. The facility has had ratings meeting minimum industry standards and provides access to outside hospital specialists if needed, while also offering pain control and support services, with programs for memory care, restorative nursing, wound care, and other medical help for those with more complex conditions.
