Emerald Shores Health And Rehabilitation sits at 626 North Tyndall Parkway in Callaway, Florida, and folks have known it as a skilled nursing facility since 1967, with 77 units and 69 current residents, and while the place has the Aviata at Emerald Shores and is part of the Plus Care Network, it operates as a Medicare and Medicaid-certified, for-profit community with continuous approval since the late 1960s. Residents find a full range of care here, from skilled nursing with 24-hour staff and nurses, personal care help, assisted living, and independent living for those who can do more for themselves, to memory care specifically for those dealing with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, along with hospice and respite care when caregivers need a break. The nursing team includes at least one full-time registered nurse and a doctor, with physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, wound care, pain management, cardiac and dialysis care, and stroke care available, plus help with medication, bathing, dressing, and transfers, so folks get the attention they need across a variety of medical and everyday living situations.
The place offers three meals a day in a restaurant-style dining room and, besides regular meal prep, the menu can suit dietary needs like diabetes or allergies, all under a professional chef, and residents get help with laundry and housekeeping, private rooms with bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, telephones, WiFi, air-conditioning, and linen service. Emerald Shores offers plenty of recreation and social activities, too, with arts and crafts, movie nights, music, off-site outings, educational programs, day trips, resident-run activities, and fitness sessions in a wellness room or gym, plus a library, computer center, garden, walking paths, beauty salon, spa, and a common space for events. Folks also find an emergency alert system, automatic sprinklers everywhere for fire safety, a 24-hour call system, and transportation services like rides to appointments or errands, so it's plain they've tried to make things safe and convenient for everyone.
Medical oversight includes medication management, support from nurses around the clock, and regular counseling and outreach for residents and families, all aiming at comfort, health, and dignity, and staff help with daily tasks like bathing or dressing, so nobody has to go without needed care. The facility is classified as a continuing care retirement community (CCRC), meaning it lets people stay as their needs change, and memory care is housed in a secure area, where staff focus on keeping residents engaged and comfortable. When looking at official reports, Emerald Shores Health And Rehabilitation gets a 4-star overall Medicare rating, with a QM (quality measures) rating of 4 and a health inspection rating of 4, and while it had three health deficiencies noted in recent surveys, there weren't any fines, penalties, or denials reported, and staffing comes in at a rating of 3, with reported nurse hours and physical therapist hours matching fairly closely to what's expected. While some services might be unspecified due to technical errors in reporting, the long history and broad range of care here mean residents and their families can plan for the future with a mix of independence, support, and professional medical oversight.
