Life Care Center of Port St. Lucie

Life Care Center of Port St. Lucie sits in Port St. Lucie, Florida, within three miles of St. Lucie Medical Center and Port St. Lucie Hospital, and serves about 109 residents each day in a 123-bed building, and it's been managed by Life Care Centers of America, Inc. since June 2017 as a for-profit corporation. The community offers skilled nursing, rehabilitation, assisted living, memory care, respite care, and independent living options, and the staff work to support each resident's daily needs with things like medication help, wound care, personal care, and rehabilitation services, and there's round-the-clock nursing, including an in-house team of nurses and therapists. Facilities include private suites with air-conditioning and Wi-Fi, private bathrooms, and cable television, and the communal areas have a main lobby, a common room, garden patios, and three tranquil courtyards where residents can take outdoor walks or just relax, and there's a beauty salon, a barber shop, and a wellness center to support daily living, plus housekeeping, linen service, and kitchenettes. Life Care Center of Port St. Lucie doesn't shy away from structured activities either, because they schedule day trips, games, community events, and daily programs, with opportunities for resident-run activities and trips arranged through the community-operated transportation or with assistance for outside appointments both medical and non-medical, and there's a small library, a room for games, a fitness room, a dining room, and a computer center, plus a media gallery and several publications available. They accept feedback from families and patients and aim to create a pleasant and safe environment, yet the facility has had several federal and state inspections and received a total of 29 cited deficiencies, including some for not providing appropriate treatment according to orders, not reporting suspected abuse or neglect in a timely way, and one infection-related deficiency, though reports state there was no actual harm, just potential for more than minimal harm. They had nurse turnover at 31.8%, which is below the state average, and residents get about 3.97 nurse hours per day, which sits slightly above the state average. Past complaint reports from February and April 2025 both found issues around reporting and quality of life, but the facility continues to offer a mix of care and services for a range of health and independence needs. Tour scheduling is available and more about daily life at the community appears on their Facebook page.
