Ben Hur Health and Rehabilitation

Ben Hur Health and Rehabilitation stays open all day and night, and the hallways and spaces make it easy for both residents and visitors to get around without much trouble, and many people say the staff are friendly, attentive, and really act like they care about the people living there, which seems to help everyone feel at home. The place is always clean and looked after, and nurses are around day and night, though there is a high nurse turnover rate, with about 48 out of 100 nurses leaving each year, and they spend about three and a third hours with each resident per day. The building holds up to 110 people, with both private and shared rooms, and there are some nice touches, like three porches for sitting, WiFi, TV, housekeeper services, and a dining room where everyone gets three meals a day, plus they even have areas for family to visit, a courtyard, and common spaces with activities like arts & crafts, music, and tabletop games. Ben Hur Health and Rehabilitation also has a chapel that's easy to get to for people using wheelchairs and walkers, and folks can take part in religious services on-site. They offer skilled nursing, rehabilitation, memory care, hospice and palliative care, respite care, long-term care, wound care, and help with everyday activities like bathing and dressing, and they make sure to watch over people's medications closely, with staff who are trained in medication management. There's a special part of the building called Auguste's Cottage that's set up for people with memory loss, using a structured and supportive approach, and the facility runs physical, occupational, and speech therapy for those who need to recover after surgeries or illness, and the "Road to Recovery" program has a team that meets quickly with families to make plans and set goals. Care is provided under the C.A.R.E. approach, which stands for Compassion, Attentiveness, Relationships, and Excellence, and the staff say they try to get to know each person and work with families-that's what they say on the website, at least. The place is managed by American Senior Communities, but is owned by The Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County. Ben Hur Health and Rehabilitation has seen some official state reports and inspections in the last three years, and while there's been no report of harm, there are known issues from the reports about not always meeting the standards for safe respiratory care and proper nutrition and food, so families might want to look up those inspection results. The staff speak English, and there's no information on other languages spoken. The rehabilitation center works with people after strokes, surgeries, or serious illnesses, and provides outpatient therapy, advanced pulmonary care, and even programs to help with fall prevention and mobility. Memory care includes structured activities and a home-like environment for people with dementia. The staff brings laundry and linen service, transportation to appointments and errands, and help with everyday needs, and residents have the choice of either joining group activities or enjoying time in several outdoor or indoor sitting areas, including gardens and porches. Ben Hur doesn't have information on any other specialties or languages, and isn't accepting new residents right now, so people looking for placement will have to check again later. Residents pay with Medicaid and other insurance options, and staff can help with Medicaid paperwork.
