Oakpark Health & Rehabilitation Center

Oakpark Health & Rehabilitation Center sits at 2851 Tampa Rd in Palm Harbor, FL, and has 180 certified beds, usually serving about 169 residents each day, offering skilled nursing care for very frail people, and providing short-term rehab for those who need help moving back home after a hospital stay. The licensed business runs as Oakpark Rehab Holdings LLC, owned mainly by Bp Oakpark Trust and Lf Oakpark Trust, and doesn't have information about whether units are for sale or rent right now, but its doors are open to residents covered under legal LGBTQ protections in the local area. Oakpark tries to make people feel at home with both private and shared rooms, options for fine dining, cable TV, internet, telephone service, and regular social and recreational programs, all within a big, welcoming facility set up for comfort, even if details about exact features or parking arrangements aren't all written down. Oakpark's focus leans toward recovery and helping people stay as independent as possible, promising a caring environment with 24/7 nursing, wound care, pain management, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, post-surgical and palliative care, and both short-term and long-term stays, though specifics about the number of floors or accessibility features aren't listed. The center does have a joint commission accreditation and follows a philosophy of "people caring for people," but in its recent August 2, 2023, inspection, federal officials noted five deficiencies, including one about infection control, others about quality of care and life-like making sure residents don't lose daily skills without a medical reason-and some concerns about not having enough nursing staff or having a licensed nurse in charge for every shift as required, and its nurse turnover rate was 45.6%, which is higher than the state's average, while its staff hours per resident per day (3.35) fall below Florida's average of 3.9. Amenities try to help the healing process, aiming to transform what people expect from a nursing facility, but some gaps in care planning and coordination have turned up in past reports. Oakpark isn't approved by the Better Business Bureau, but it holds a license from the Agency for Health Care Administration, number 1316096, and the manager, Su Reynard-Suriano, oversees care operations that put an emphasis on personalized attention and a caring culture for each resident's health and wellbeing, even though more information about the staff and building details aren't available.
