Specialty Health And Rehabilitation Center

Specialty Health And Rehabilitation Center sits over in Pensacola and is a for-profit nursing home with a long record of strong inspection grades, including some A+ ratings over the years, and while it's earned a B+ overall recently, there've still been a few deficiencies noted like missing visits between residents and doctors or handling resident information, but you'll find the place with 120 beds-most rooms shared, some private-and about 112 folks living there on an average day. Nurses here put in about 3.99 hours per resident daily, which is a bit above the state average, though there's been a higher-than-average nurse turnover at 52 percent, with Mathew Varghese overseeing the center since April 2022, along with several other owners and partners behind the scenes. The staff include registered nurses, medical professionals for physical, occupational, and speech therapies, and you'll find a long list of services like wound care, pain management, respiratory help, dementia programs, mental health, hospice, and respite care, while transportation is available both for medical needs and regular outings, plus the Center takes Medicare and Medicaid for payment. There's a big focus on comfort and personalized plans for every resident, especially anyone coming in for post-surgical recovery, living with dementia, or needing long-term or short-term care, and you'll notice a hands-on effort at compassionate support that touches on physical, emotional, and spiritual health. The building's seen some recent renovations to make things more modern, with communal spaces for chatting or group activities, an outdoor area and garden, plus a rehab gym for when someone needs therapy or exercise, and there's a Life Enrichment program featuring things like a beauty and barber shop, movies, gardening, group trips, beach visits, and special meals. Residents have daily access to a library, worship area, and planned arts and crafts or intergenerational programs-there's always something happening so no one feels left out or alone, even as the Center keeps up with therapy and rehab services for anyone trying to get back on their feet. Specialty Health And Rehabilitation Center has accommodations for couples in some rooms, regular spiritual and pastoral care, and a resident council to make sure voices get heard, though family councils aren't in place. There's a virtual tour on their website folks can use to look around before visiting in person, and the center welcomes both short-term rehab stays and long-term living, always aiming to keep residents safe, involved, and well cared for with a personal touch.
