Lutz Healthcare & Rehabilitation, which used to go by the name NuVista Tampa, sits at 19091 N Dale Mabry Hwy in Lutz, Florida, and has been serving seniors since 2011, so it's got some years behind it, and most folks seem pretty familiar with it since there are over one hundred reviews online. The place runs from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM every day, with a website at luxeatlutz.com where you can check for more about it. It has fewer than twenty-five employees and provides both hospital-type services and physiotherapy, mainly as a rehabilitation and wellness center. Lutz Healthcare & Rehabilitation isn't part of a hospital though, and it doesn't belong to a continuing care community, but it does participate in both Medicare and Medicaid, having joined the programs back in February 2012. There's a capacity for 120 residents, and usually, about 115 live there at a time, most of them around 79 years old, and the place stays pretty full, about ninety-six percent occupancy on average.
Services at Lutz Healthcare & Rehabilitation cover a lot-there's skilled nursing, assisted living, and board and care home options, so residents get help with daily things like bathing, dressing, meals, taking medicine, plus 24/7 nursing care and regular visits from medical staff. The memory care program takes care of people with Alzheimer's and dementia, offering secure spaces, specialized programs, and memory-enhancing activities, and seniors get as much independence as possible with support and help as needed. Staff includes registered nurses, LPNs, and certified nursing assistants, providing average daily care per resident with thirty minutes from an RN, about an hour from LPN or LVN staff, and more than two hours from CNAs, which means seniors get watched over pretty closely, and the staff sees to a lot of health concerns ranging from asthma and diabetes to heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, schizophrenia, and cancer.
The facility has both private and semi-private rooms, and they do the cleaning and provide fresh linens, and every room's got things like cable TV, a phone, and internet. Residents can visit the fitness room, use the computer center, enjoy the garden courtyard, spend time in the small library or the beauty salon, or relax in a common area; there's also a wellness center right on site. Restaurant-style dining is available, including options for special diets like for people with diabetes, and meals are prepared and served every day. Place welcomes pets, and there're daily activities planned by the staff, along with community-sponsored events, resident-run clubs, and organized trips, so there's something social to do pretty much every day.
The building's fully sprinkled for fire safety, has wide entryways, a lobby, and plenty of shared spaces that feel home-inspired, and the style leans towards a modern, cheerful feeling without being too flashy. For medical care, the staff offers clinical lab work, mental health, clinical social work, occupational therapy, pharmacy help, physician support, and rehabilitation therapy-which covers physical, speech, cognitive, and adaptive therapies. Specialized care includes wound care, post-surgical support, palliative care, a secured memory care unit, and short-term respite stays for those needing brief support. The community provides home health care and transportation services too, though some arrangements are non-medical. Residents can join the community council and take part in how things run.
Lutz Healthcare & Rehabilitation is accredited by the Joint Commission, and its focus remains on rehabilitation, aiming to help folks get back their highest level of function through up-to-date therapy equipment and professional, courteous staff, and though ratings by CMS are mixed-with a 3-star overall, ranging from 1 to 3 stars in short-term, long-term, staffing, health inspection, and quality-they do offer a range of wellness and clinical services, and the leadership seems committed to providing personal, skilled, and compassionate care to seniors during every stage of their stay.
