Emory L Bennett Veterans’ Nursing Home

Emory L Bennett Veterans' Nursing Home is a government-owned facility operated by the Florida Department of Veterans' Affairs and has 120 certified beds set aside for veterans who need skilled nursing or long-term care, so folks staying there get round-the-clock supervision by registered and licensed nurses, and the whole place is licensed by the Agency for Health Care Administration and inspected every year by AHCA and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The home isn't part of a CCRC and takes Medicare and Medicaid for payment, and you'll find all services and features geared toward veterans, including unique program names and care units set up especially for them. Residents get thorough medical services like medication management, help with bathing, dressing, transfers, and all daily activities, all guided by a supervising physician. The building's got emergency alert systems, wheelchair accessibility, air conditioning, and a 24-hour call system that helps keep everyone safe, and the private rooms come furnished and have private bathrooms, kitchenettes, telephones, cable TV, and Wi-Fi, so everyone can stay comfortable and connected. Folks can enjoy community spaces like a movie theater, activity rooms, wellness and fitness rooms, a library, a business room, an arts room, and outdoor features such as walking paths, gardens, and outdoor common areas. The home tries to help veterans feel at home with housekeeping, laundry, and family support services, plus move-in coordination if that's needed. Meals are prepared by a professional chef with all-day dining available in the dining room, offering allergy-sensitive, diabetic-friendly, and special diets for any dietary restrictions, so no one goes without what they need. People can take part in music programs, art classes, movie nights, and resident-run activities, and the staff provides transportation and easy-to-access parking. The facility provides skilled nursing care and long-term support for veterans, aiming to help improve their quality of life in a supportive and secure place. Emory L Bennett Veterans' Nursing Home is part of Florida's network of state veterans' nursing homes, and you can find more details in their brochure and resident application packet if you want to know what else they offer.
