Palm Garden of Port St Lucie sits in a peaceful spot at 1751 SE Hillmoor Dr and offers several levels of care, including assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation. The facility has 120 beds and is open all day, every day, so help is always near. Residents can get physical, occupational, and speech therapy from a team of licensed professionals. There's a therapy gym and even VitalStim therapy for swallowing problems, plus specialized care for wounds, pain, and diabetes. The place offers care for people with dementia and has a dedicated memory care program with activities made for memory support.
Rooms are clean, fully furnished, and have private baths, while some spots have kitchenettes for those who want to prepare snacks. There's a pool, a dining room with real linen tablecloths, and WiFi throughout. Residents can join activities such as movie nights, crafts, community-sponsored outings, veterans' groups, games, and fitness in a welcoming environment, and there are places like gardens, a small library, a computer center, a beauty salon, and exercise spaces to spend time. Respite care is available for short-term stays, and there's a special unit set aside for people who need temporary rehabilitation, with its own entrance and lounge.
The staff and management aim to be helpful and friendly, working to create a supportive community where everyone feels welcome, and the Director of Nursing and administrator are open to questions. Housekeepers keep the place tidy, and staff brings mail daily except on weekends and holidays. They help with meals, housekeeping, and daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication, and moving around. The facility keeps care plans personal and works to help people regain independence, making use of a call system around the clock. Residents eat restaurant-style meals-and special diets are available-and enjoy both staff-run and resident-run activities aimed at keeping minds and bodies active.
The buildings are large and interconnected, with different sections for the various care levels. Visiting stays open except for secured entrances after hours. Nursing, intermediate care, outpatient therapy, and follow-up care after discharge are all offered. Palm Garden works with most insurance plans, Medicare, and Medicaid, and families can find help through local advisors.
The business started in 2013, follows state rules for care homes, and has won community awards for quality activities and a caring staff. It doesn't carry every seal but focuses on clinical results, with many residents going home after therapy. Staff offer social support, palliative care, and hospice if needed, and the goal's always to help people restore ability, comfort, and hope, however long they stay.
