Lake Eustis Health and Rehabilitation Center sits in scenic surroundings, providing skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and long-term care for older adults and others recovering from injury or illness, and folks who need ongoing support. The staff includes certified nurses and therapists who cover everything from help with bathing, dressing, medication, and companionship to more advanced needs like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and in-house dialysis. Residents get care tailored to their own needs, including memory care and post-acute support after hospital stays, or after fractures, joint replacements, wounds, or strokes. There's always a nurse available, and a 24-hour call system means help's on hand, with the care team working to promote wellness and encourage independence for everyone.
Dining is comfortable, with a professional chef preparing allergy-sensitive meals, special dietary options, and all-day dining, where folks can eat at restaurant-style tables or in their own rooms if they like. Private living spaces come with Wi-Fi, air conditioning, cable TV, a bathroom, a kitchen area, and a personal phone, while the community offers laundry, housekeeping, and move-in help, so it's easier to settle in. Outdoor walking paths, gardens, an arts room, game room, business room, library, fitness center, spa, and regular activities like movie nights and music programs keep people active and involved, and there's transportation to appointments and dialysis. Family support and social services are available, and discharge planning helps residents return home when it's time. For those with longer stays, restorative and wellness programs, durable medical equipment services, and memory care units are on-site, providing support at different stages as needed.
Lake Eustis takes a wide range of insurance, including Medicaid, Medicare, WellCare, Freedom, Careplus, BCBS, United Healthcare, Aetna/Coventry, and Devoted Medicare, making it possible for more families to use the services. The center is owned by Gulf Coast Health Care and is now part of the Excelsior Care Group, which works on quality and innovative care with a high nurse-to-resident ratio. The facility is open to the public for private tours, with regular updates online, including current COVID-19 policies. Staff are described as compassionate, well-trained, and dedicated to giving every resident a clean, supportive environment full of daily opportunities to learn, relax, connect, or recover. The center stays involved in local community events and supports residents' families, making it a steady place for people looking to recover, heal, or have long-term care with active support.
