Bay Pointe Nursing Pavilion sits at 4201 31st St S. in St. Petersburg, Florida, and has 120 certified beds, usually serving about 110 residents daily, and offers short-term, long-term, and memory care in a nursing pavilion setting that feels home-like, and people come here for different reasons, sometimes because they need skilled nursing, sometimes for rehab after a hospital stay, and sometimes because they need help every day, and, you know, they do quite a bit with both physical and medical services, providing 24-hour care from Certified Nursing Assistants, Registered Nurses, and Licensed Practical Nurses, which means there's always someone trained on staff, and the nurse staffing hours average about 3.21 per resident each day, and their nurse turnover rate is around 52.2%, which some folks notice, and the facility's had 14 documented deficiencies in past inspections, some about quality of life and ensuring safe dialysis, and some about having enough nursing staff on each shift, and that's all on record with CMS, so it's good to know if you're comparing places.
Bay Pointe has a special focus on rehab, with strong programs for physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and they use state-of-the-art therapy gyms for recovery; the team makes individualized care plans for each person, and that team has licensed nurses, therapists, and physicians working together, so folks with chronic illnesses or movement limits have tailored programs, including restorative care, and if you need infusion therapy they do that, too, plus there's palliative and respite care for those who require more support, and they even provide services at home, like home health care (which Medicare certifies), non-medical home care, and adult day services-all focused on helping people keep their strength and independence as much as possible.
People here have plenty to do, and they try to keep residents active and engaged with fitness and outdoor programs, arts rooms, a library, and a little movie theater that gives people a reason to get out of their rooms, and the meal program's known for offering balanced, nutritious choices, including foods matched to special dietary needs, all part of their coordinated approach to care where they listen to families whenever possible. It's affiliated with the Florida Institute For Long Term Care and operates under Aegir Health Management LLC, with ties to a bigger parent company, Kindred Healthcare, which manages many hospitals, pharmacies, and nursing centers across the country.
Location matters for a lot of families, and Bay Pointe's close to Bayfront Health St. Petersburg, the Central Neurology Sleep Disorders Center, and big pharmacies like Walgreens, which makes it easier to handle doctor visits or prescriptions without going far. The building, considered part of HCA Florida healthcare facilities, offers various care settings ranging from independent living to assisted living, skilled nursing, and long-term care options, and people can expect help with the basics like meals, social activities, laundry, housekeeping, and social services, as well as support for memory care needs. They accept Medicare and Medicaid, and the staff involves both residents and families in planning, trying to respond to changing care needs, and through it all, there's a big focus on treating everyone with dignity and respect.
