Avante at Boca Raton sits in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood, tucked behind palm trees and green landscaping, and the building holds 144 beds for both short-term and long-term skilled nursing care, so you'll find people staying there for different reasons, whether it's for recovery or for ongoing help with daily living, and the team is pretty big, including registered nurses, certified nursing assistants, medical doctors, therapists for speech, physical, and occupational needs, social workers, and dietitians, all working together for patient well-being, with Danesha Merchant as the administrator over the Boca Raton location. The staff handle a wide range of care, helping with dementia and memory disorders, cardiac care, mobility help, IV medicine, wound care, short-term inpatient rehabilitation, long-term treatment, dialysis, post-stroke care, orthopedic, pulmonary, bariatric, apnea monitoring, BIPAP/CPAP, colostomy, oxygen, pain management, palliative, vision, podiatry, psychological, psychiatric, social services, and even COVID-19 recovery, so the services stretch from regular skilled nursing to specific rehabilitation and therapies.
The grounds include spacious private rooms, many with their own bathrooms, plus dining areas, and a residents lounge where people visit or relax, and there's a dedicated gym with exercise equipment for seniors who need rehab or physical therapy, which helps those working to regain strength or movement. Three meals come daily, cooked fresh in-house by a gourmet chef, and nutritionists offer wellness coaching and meal support to promote healing. Avante welcomes visits from family and friends, believing they help residents' health and recovery, and the doors stay open 24/7, although regular main office hours run Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 4 pm. The place isn't a shelter and has a license number SNF 1023095.
Services at Avante at Boca Raton can be covered by Medicare, Medicaid, private payment, Hospice, Humana, CarePlus, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, so families have a few different ways to pay, but for private pay, they do ask for an entrance fee equal to one month's payment upfront. All care is delivered in English, though the staff can speak other languages when needed, and the property serves both Palm Beach and Broward County. Housekeeping and laundry happen regularly, and there are amenities like elevators, a beauty and barber salon, a fitness center, and social and educational activities aimed at keeping people active and involved, with support for family groups as well. Safety features include an emergency call system in rooms, which helps residents get help quickly. Memory care is a key part of this place, so people with dementia or related issues can stay as their needs change, and meanwhile, there's always skilled staff on hand if medical or behavioral changes come up.
The Avante group operates other locations around the state, including places like Inverness, Jacksonville, Lake Worth, Leesburg, Melbourne, Mount Dora, Ocala, Orlando, Ormond Beach, and St. Cloud, but the Boca Raton facility keeps a steady focus on individual care, comfort, and holistic well-being, always looking after both the physical and emotional needs with a mix of medical care, therapy, activities, and regular meals, providing a sense of routine and comfort for those living there.
