Solaris HealthCare Pensacola sits in Pensacola, FL, offering care to seniors across nursing homes, assisted living, memory care, and even some home care options, so you've got folks who are still pretty independent along with those who need a lot more help, and you'll see meals planned out by chefs to give everyone a balanced diet with good ingredients, which can matter a lot to health as you get older. They've got 180 certified beds, and the place's managed by Corey Bennici who stepped in back in July 2021, and the ownership gets a bit complex with Pensacola Healthcare Holdings, LLC at the top of the chain with 100% ownership, but they're linked up with the Solaris Foundation, Inc. and Solaris Healthcare Properties LLC, which all fits under a nonprofit setup and connects them to the broader Solaris Foundation and Solaris Healthcare group, and these groups say they try to put a focus on health, healing, and compassionate care, working to help people recover and return to their normal life if possible.
You'll find they have nurses and staff who focus on getting people moving again after injury or illness, and the rehab department tends to use a team approach so each resident gets an individualized care plan, aiming for the quickest and safest return to as much independence as possible, and besides rehab, they run memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or other dementia, using methods that try to reduce confusion and stop wandering, and their assisted living side provides help with daily things like bathing, getting dressed, or handling medications. They also cover nursing home needs for those who require 24-hour care, so there's something for most seniors, whether the needs are light or very serious.
Still, it's worth knowing that Solaris HealthCare Pensacola was found to have 3 recent deficiencies in their last inspection, including issues related to infection control, resident rights, assessment and care planning, plus overall quality of life and care, which means there are areas that need attention even though the staff is known for being professional and committed to their work. Their nurse turnover rate sits at 46.2%, which is higher than the Florida state average of 43.6%, and their staff nurse hours per resident per day come in at 3.49, which is lower than the state's 3.9 average, so the staffing level is a bit under what's typical for the area.
Solaris HealthCare Pensacola runs as a nonprofit corporation and keeps a focus on community wellness, health, and support, linking its efforts to the values of the Solaris Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization. There's no extra information given about specific room features or special amenities, but the facility covers a wide range of senior care and puts a strong emphasis on rehabilitation and individualized plans.
