Peninsula Health Center is a faith-based, non-profit nursing home that weaves prayer into each care plan, and you'll notice right away they mix medical support with spiritual comfort for folks who want that, and they do all this in a place that's gotten The Gold Seal of Approval from The Joint Commission, which means outside experts have checked things over for safety and quality. The center is dually-certified, so they can take both Medicare and Medicaid, and they have 120 beds in spacious resident rooms that have private bathrooms, cable TV, Wi-Fi, a kitchenette, and air conditioning, which sounds nice because everyone wants to be comfortable. There's a 24-hour call system in every room for emergencies, and nursing staff are there around the clock, including after-hours on-call support every day of the week, while a physician and nurse practitioner are onsite five days a week to handle checkups or concerns.
Rehabilitation services are all on-site, so residents can work with in-house physical, occupational, and speech therapists, whether coming in for outpatient care or staying after an illness, surgery, or hospital stay, plus there's skilled care for complex medical needs or memory care and even some assisted living options for people who need help but want some independence. Everyone gets a personalized care plan, and the team-nurses, therapists, doctors, and an Executive Director-meet with families soon after move-in to talk through goals, needs, and how long they'll stay, helping residents with things like medication, bathing, dressing, transfers, or just getting around if walking is hard, so daily living stays as normal as possible.
Dining is restaurant-style, with a chef handling special diets for allergies or diabetes, and meals are served all day in the main dining room or out on covered patios with views of outdoor gardens and walking paths, which seems calming, and folks can take advantage of free salon services at the Esteem Salon or relax in the spa/sauna/wellness room. There are lots of communal areas like a fitness room, movie theater, library, activity and game rooms, and family spaces, with move-in help and daily housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, transportation, and parking to keep things running smoothly for residents and their families. People can join movie nights, fitness and music programs, arts activities, or even make suggestions for new clubs because the center encourages resident-run events and outdoor fitness. There's a focus on support for families too, not just the residents, so if a loved one moves in, the team helps everybody get used to the changes, and the place tries to balance medical care, social activities, peace and quiet in pretty outdoor spots, and privacy for those who like their own space.
