Port St. Lucie Rehabilitation and Healthcare sits at 7300 Oleander Avenue in Port St. Lucie, Florida, and offers care as a skilled nursing facility with a 180-bed capacity, having opened its doors back in 1982, and since then folks say it's done a steady job, earning a 5-Star rating and even landing at #7 on Newsweek's list of top nursing homes in Florida. The place is privately owned, and they see to both short-term and long-term care, which means they help with everything from temporary rehabilitation after things like surgery or accidents to steady support for folks who need help over the long haul with illnesses or disabilities that make day-to-day living a challenge. It specializes in memory care for people with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Lewy-Body disease, so their dementia program runs in a secure area meant for those with cognitive needs. The center offers therapy services-physical, occupational, and speech therapy are part of their typical routine, and there's attention to medication, meals, bathing, dressing, and bathroom help, all day and night, so no one goes without the basics.
Their staff includes a Social Services Director named Amanda Milillo, a Director of Operations named Richard Zappier, an IT man Cameron Rolle, and a student intern by the name of Carlyssa White, while the nursing director, Deann Osborn, is responsible for semi-annual, all-employee training, and sometimes they'll bring in outside managers or partners like VITAS Healthcare and McKesson to run some special modules. Residents there get individual care plans, and families usually find support when figuring everything out. They keep at least one full-time registered nurse and a physician on staff, according to what's needed for skilled nursing, and in addition to all that, they're part of a Plus Care Network, which means their services connect with other places like Avante at Lake Worth, Aviata at Coral Bay, and a few others, and they've established ties with hospitals such as HCA Florida Aventura Hospital and HCA Florida JFK Hospital, so if a care plan changes, folks can smoothly move between facilities.
Amenities support both comfort and care, and staff aim for residents to recover enough to either go home or keep on living as best they can. Their website, built on the GeneratePress framework, offers email and phone options for anyone who wants to ask questions or learn about their visitation policy. The place tries to keep things clear, straightforward, and compassionate for both the folks staying there and their families.
