Seabranch Health and Rehabilitation Center

Seabranch Health and Rehabilitation Center in Stuart, FL, sits up on the northeast corner of the roundabout at Dixie Hwy and Cove, and it's the type of place where you'll find all sorts of care under one roof-a person can get skilled nursing, long-term care, and short-term rehabilitation there, and the staff will help with home health care that's Medicare-Certified, even home care services that aren't medical, plus there's hospice care if that's needed. Folks needing memory care facilities or assisted living can find those here, and there are adult day services if somebody just needs a safe place for a few hours, and people who want more independence can look into the independent living options. The center holds 120 certified beds and, on average, about 103 residents live there daily, so it feels busy but not packed, and while it's classified both as a nursing home and rehabilitation hospital, it also focuses pretty strongly on recovery and helping people go home stronger whenever possible, which their rehabilitation program tries to make happen. They've got a nurse staffing level of 3.86 nurse hours per person per day and a nurse turnover rate around 20.5%, so there's ongoing staff change but always someone there, and care is available 24/7. Some people don't know that Seabranch is a for-profit place that is affiliated with Simcha Hyman and Naftali Zanziper, and its leadership includes an administrator, a director of nursing, and a director of business development, with staff listed on a managed website. The place is Joint Commission accredited, and when it comes to inspections and oversight, the facility's had 27 deficiencies documented, with the latest inspection on August 22, 2024, showing five deficiencies, including one related to infection. Infection control is something they focus on, too, setting policies for when residents and visitors should use facial coverings-especially if there's exposure to immunocompromised people or anyone showing symptoms-but people can also opt out in some situations. The staff aim to honor residents' rights, making sure people can voice grievances without worry, and they work to help residents maintain their daily living skills unless there's a medical reason not to. The place has policies to care for people with continence needs, including catheter use and urinary tract infection prevention. Amenities lean toward maintaining a calm, relaxed environment, and the caregiving style tries to be compassionate and personal, looking to give attention to individual needs, whether someone's staying for recovery after a hospital trip, long-term nursing care, or daily adult services. The whole-team focus helps both residents and caregivers, hoping to make life better for everyone connected to the community.
