Avante at Lake Worth Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing sits in a quiet spot behind a housing development, offering both short-term and long-term skilled nursing care along with rehabilitation services for people who need more support after illness or surgery, and it's got 138 licensed beds for residents. The facility is Medicare and Medicaid certified, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) keep track of their quality ratings, checking things like health inspections, nursing hours per resident, and therapy minutes each day, which are right up to date for Medicare's star ratings. The staff includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, social workers, and a team of therapists-physical, occupational, and speech-who work with a medical director and consultants in many specialties, so residents get a wide range of medical attention. Avante at Lake Worth accepts both Medicare and Medicaid for payment and takes part in CMS quality initiatives, aiming for professional standards without making it feel too much like a hospital.
The care team uses a holistic approach focusing on the well-being of the residents, offering therapy services such as physical, occupational, speech therapy, and even respiratory services, including trach and vent care, and they've got a special Vent Weaning Program for folks who are trying to become less dependent on ventilators. For those who have other intensive needs, the staff is experienced with things like post-stroke, orthopedic, cardiac, dialysis care, bloodless and wound management, IV therapy, pain and palliative care, enterostomal (ostomy) management, pain management, bariatric care, orthopedic and neurological rehab, and even Covid-19 care. Residents can get extra help with medication management, bathing, dressing, daily activities, wound care, memory care, psychological support, vision and podiatry care, as well as organized activities brought by a team that includes bilingual staff, so families know there's someone around who understands.
Avante at Lake Worth offers a safe environment with emergency call systems and 24-hour supervision, aiming for resident independence while making sure extra support is always available. The rooms are modern and comfortable, with many private options that include private bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, phones, air conditioning, and high-speed internet, so residents can feel at home. Housekeeping, laundry, dietary planning, and move-in coordination make settling in easier, and there's on-site dining with restaurant-style meals, special options for allergies and diabetes, and snacks as needed. Family support groups and case management services are another way they help everyone stay in the loop.
Staff organize daily activities, family support groups, and community-sponsored events to help keep residents active and social, plus the building features a movie theater, library, arts and crafts room, fitness room with exercise equipment, game areas, a residents lounge, and beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces with walking paths and gardens for fresh air and quiet. Transportation and parking services mean trips to appointments or outings happen without much fuss. The staff offer memory care, hospice care, adult day services, home health care, and even home care (non-medical) when families need it, taking care to match the care plan to individual needs.
Physicians and physician extenders come on-site for regular care and check-ups, and there are pharmacy, dental, clinical lab, and diagnostic X-ray services if those needs come up. The building's been recently renovated and the atmosphere is more contemporary and comfortable, right down to a welcoming lobby with a pleasant sitting area where folks can meet or just watch the comings and goings.
For residents looking to keep busy, there's a packed schedule-movie nights, fitness activities, music programs, organized family groups, and resident-run events-plus a beauty and barber shop to help residents feel their best. There are also support services for families and a job program for caregivers and nurses looking to work at the facility. The goal here is personalized, compassionate care that helps people stay as self-sufficient as they can, whether someone needs just a little support or more hands-on daily nursing, rehabilitation after surgery, or help managing memory loss. Avante at Lake Worth Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing is part of the Avante Group of skilled nursing facilities, and the staff are focused on helping residents heal, recover, and live as comfortably as possible while staying connected to their families and community.
