Balanced Healthcare

Balanced Healthcare sits at 4250 66th St N in Saint Petersburg, Florida, where older adults can find a range of care, from independent living and assisted living to skilled nursing and rehabilitation, and you'll see right away the setting is both welcoming and calm with green grounds and flowers around the property, and there's always a thoughtful bustle in the building with over 66 residents cared for each day by more than 110 staff. The community has private studio rooms with sun-soaked spaces, relaxing colors, and private bathrooms, plus cable TV, internet, phones, and air conditioning. Folks have choices of activities-movie nights, music, arts, clubs, fitness equipment for different exercise needs, and even walking paths and gardens to enjoy. Meals come in a dining room set up like a restaurant, and staff prepare foods for special diets like diabetes and allergies, with an all-day dining option so no one has to stick to a set schedule just to get something to eat, and housekeeping and laundry are handled for the residents as well. Nursing care is round-the-clock with a 24-hour call system, and everyone that needs it can get help with medication, bathing, dressing, mobility, or transfers. Balanced Healthcare also does physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus specialized psychiatric care if that's needed, and there's a subacute unit for those coming out of the hospital to recover before heading home, and a team of therapists works alongside regular care staff for short or long stays, trying to help folks regain strength and independence. The facility is set up to accept Medicare, Medicaid-including Sunshine State Health Plan Medicaid and insurance-Simply Health, Private Pay, and other common insurance coverage. There's a skilled nursing wing that can manage up to 299 beds, and the team tracks its quality through various ratings and analytics, including PointRight Pro360® and Medicare's star system, with regular reviews of services and staffing hours, and the nurse turnover currently runs better than the average facility in Florida at under 36%. Balanced Healthcare has had a number of inspection deficiencies-34 in total-including 3 related to infection prevention and 1 related to quality of care and resident rights, without actual harm but indicating there's room for improvement, and the staff tries to keep these issues in sight to help make changes. The location is minutes from major hospitals and cultural organizations, and for those who need to get around, transportation and parking are provided. People here seem to find the atmosphere comfortable and flexible, whether they want social engagement or a quiet afternoon, plus the place offers help with move-in, housekeeping, laundry, and basic property management. Specialized therapeutic services and psychiatric care are tucked into the mix, with support for those who have trouble getting around, and a robust emergency call feature keeps everyone a little safer. Balanced Healthcare is a for-profit skilled nursing community accredited by the Joint Commission, with living options for active adults, assisted living, and full nursing care, all provided by a staff working under direct ownership by St Petersburg Fl Holdco LLC, and with affiliated interests from several healthcare ownership groups.
