Glades West Rehabilitation & Nursing Center has been around since 2015, offering skilled nursing care with a wide range of services, including both short-term and long-term rehabilitation. They have 120 certified beds and about 112 residents on average each day, so you'll find it's a busy place. The facility's patient-centered care plans cover a lot of medical needs, like pain management, cardiac and respiratory rehabilitation, post-operative cardiac recovery, and care for neurological disorders. Residents have access to specialist services including an audiologist, podiatrist, and optometrist, which is helpful for folks who need those extra types of care. Therapy services include speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, wound care, stroke recovery, diabetic management, and tracheotomy care, and they offer both inpatient and outpatient therapy sessions. Nurses and nursing assistants provide 24-hour care, with about 3.97 nurse hours for each resident per day, and help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, medications, transfers, and non-ambulatory needs.
The center's big rehabilitation gym is about 26,800 square feet and has specialized equipment like electronic stimulation and the Alter-G treadmill that some people need for therapy. Residents stay in different room layouts, including private suites and studio rooms, all with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, telephones, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and furnished furniture for comfort. Hallways are well-lit and have handrails and elevators for easier mobility. There are inviting indoor common areas, a resident lounge, and several outdoor courtyards with garden views and pergolas that many residents enjoy for peace and quiet.
Glades West tries to make sure residents have things to do, setting up social programs, entertainment, movie nights, outdoor activities, and fitness rooms, all aimed at helping people stay social and active. There's 24-hour supervision, an emergency alert system, and help with medication management. Community services include housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, move-in coordination, family support, and property management. They also have a kitchen with restaurant-style and all-day dining options, which can handle special dietary needs with professional chefs. The community offers Resident and Family Councils, and it accepts both Medicare and Medicaid.
Recent inspection reports gave Glades West an A+ government rating and a 5-star Medicare rating, and it's rated very highly in the city-an average of 9.3 out of 10. The building has six reported deficiencies, two related to pharmacy service and general quality of care, so it's good to know they're not perfect but still graded well overall. The nurse turnover rate is about 27.4%. Glades West holds onto a home-like atmosphere with private rooms, gardens, easy access around the building, and support for independence and wellness. They focus on personalized nursing care, strong rehabilitation programs, and daily activities for all residents.
