The Palms Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center sits in Palm Bay, Florida, and has been serving the community since 1998 with a range of skilled nursing and rehab services for elders and adults needing extra medical help. This center's well known for its care for seniors coming from the hospital or needing long-term support because they're very frail or facing serious illnesses, and there's everything here from short-term rehab to long-term skilled nursing. The facility holds a license under number #130470985. It's got options for Medicare and Medicaid, and helps people work through insurance for both short- and long-term needs, which does ease financial worries. The center often runs near full capacity, with 8 of 120 beds open as of June 2025 and 90 of those beds dedicated to skilled nursing.
Individuals find a choice of private or semi-private rooms, even spots set up for couples, with basics like private bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, phones, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi. Many people here depend on nursing care or are recovering from surgery, and the center's staff handles everything from post-acute care and rehabilitation to memory care inside a secure locked unit for women with Alzheimer's or dementia. You'll see specialized services such as pain and symptom management, wound care, trach care, peritoneal dialysis, support for diabetic, COPD, and cardiac patients, and even care for folks needing up to 10 liters of oxygen or a Lifevest. There's a Certified Wound and Ostomy Nurse on staff, and the team can do IV antibiotic therapy and accept wound vac patients. For those recovering from surgeries, especially orthopedic ones, there are focused recovery programs built around therapy.
Therapy services here include speech, occupational, and physical therapy using things like Vitalstim Therapy for swallowing issues. There's a robust post-operative and inpatient rehab program for those moving from hospital to home. Residents get medication management, help bathing and dressing, supervision both day and night, transfer support for folks who aren't able to walk, and help with daily activities.
Amenities make life more comfortable, with outdoor recreation, gardens, scheduled daily activities, excursions, movies, arts and crafts, music, games, spa and wellness rooms, and a beauty/barber shop. Community dining happens in a shared dining room, with allergy-friendly meals, restaurant-style dining, foods for folks with diabetes, and even a professional chef preparing special options any time of day. There's move-in coordination, meal preparation, house cleaning, laundry, concierge, and transportation services. Within shared spaces, residents use a library, fitness room, movie theater, game room, activity room, arts room, and enjoy garden paths and outdoor common spots for walking or just talking.
The Palms has registered nursing staff hours, up-to-date inspections, and both a resident and family council to keep giving feedback and helping with care concerns. Government records show an A grade in inspections, no major deficiencies, and an overall facility rating of B+ with an average review score of 3.9 from 27 reviews-a decent score meaning people have a mix of opinions but seem generally satisfied. The facility has earned A+ inspection grades in prior years and stays known for high quality in both long-term and short-term care. The Palms belongs to Aspire at Palm Bay and the Consulate Health Care family. The staff, called Ambassadors of Care, focus on creating a caring, healing environment where therapy and medical plans get tailored to each person's health and well-being through a patient-focused approach. Opened as a for-profit, limited liability company, the place doesn't run a Continuing Care Retirement Community. That said, folks don't have to worry about being left alone, with a busy activity calendar, planned events, visitor programs, and responsive clinical care for both medical needs and daily living.
