Kissimmee Health and Rehabilitation Center sits at 320 Mitchell St in Kissimmee, FL, and the place connects with Gulf Coast Health Care, running as a Nursing Home facility with 59 certified beds and an average of 55 residents most days, and the owners listed are Simcha Hyman and Naftali Zanziper, which is good to know for folks who care about ownership. The center does transitional care for folks leaving the hospital who want nursing or rehabilitative help, and it covers both short-term stays for rehab and long-term care for seniors who need help with physical or mental health and who need someone available around the clock. Studio living is an option and starts at $3,995 a month, which seems about average for the area, and the facility is accredited by The Joint Commission, which might give some families peace of mind.
For care, they have a Director of Nursing who watches over all the clinical work, plus an administrator who handles how the facility runs, and the nurse staffing comes out to 3.64 nurse hours for each resident per day, but there's a 39.3% nurse turnover rate, which some might see as a bit high. Their reviews show a 5-star rating from 80% of reviewers, and a review score of 9.7, and people often say staff are caring and the approach feels pretty personalized, which helps people feel at ease. The facility stays open all days and all hours, so someone's around no matter when you show up.
The center has a whole-team method, focusing on both health and rehab, trying to get residents to their personal goals, and they talk a lot about compassionate caregiving and try to keep a relaxing feeling in the place, offering choice for both short rehab stays and longer-term skilled nursing. They have specific infection control policies in place-including facial coverings when needed-but do allow staff, visitors, and residents to say no to mask-wearing if they get the right guidance and education. Inspections found two infection-related deficiencies and one about Resident Rights, so clearly, there are areas they've got to improve, since the total number of deficiencies in inspection reports comes to 21, and one note said they needed a qualified infection preventionist.
Even with some areas to watch out for, the center's main focus stays on providing full health and rehab services to seniors who need more support. They try to balance safety, personal care, and individual plans to help each resident, and that means families can expect a facility that tries to keep things both safe and comfortable, even if, like most places, there are things to keep an eye on.
