Harborview Health Center Kissimmee

Harborview Health Center Kissimmee sits right near area hospitals and offers a full range of care for older adults, so folks can move in for independent living or get more help as their needs change over time, and you'll find everything from active adult living and assisted living to skilled nursing and memory care here, which is helpful for those who need support with daily activities, medication, meals, or personal care, and those with Alzheimer's or dementia have access to secure memory care with special programs and activities for memory support. The facility belongs to a larger network, including Solaris Healthcare Osceola and HCA Florida Osceola Hospital, so seniors get full medical support when they need it, and the connection to Consulate Health Care means they promote a culture where staff act as Ambassadors of Care, always keeping an eye on compassion. The campus is pretty big, holding up to 120 beds, and has both private and semi-private rooms-some with private bathrooms-which residents can decorate with their own things, and there's room for couples too. For folks looking to stay busy, there are planned events like excursions, arts and crafts, movies, group games, and even visits from performers or younger folks in intergenerational programs. Amenities include a rehab gym for those needing therapy, outdoor courtyards to get some Florida sunshine, a beauty and barber shop, family rooms, and a large screened patio, plus you've got community transportation, a fitness room, a garden, a small library, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and a dining room that serves restaurant-style meals. Seniors who need help with bathing, dressing, moving around, dietary needs, or medicine management get help 24 hours a day, and there's always a nurse on duty, with doctors available as needed, which helps with wound care, post-surgery recovery, and therapy needs like physical, occupational, or speech therapy. If only short-term help is required, there's respite or subacute care, and there are home care services too, both Medicare-certified and non-medical, along with outpatient therapies. Adult Day Services and hospice care are available for those who need them, and families have resources and support when dealing with long-term care challenges. The rooms stay tidy thanks to housekeeping and laundry, and there's a 24-hour emergency call system for peace of mind, but like most places you hear some folks have mentioned concerns with cleanliness and staff being busy, though recent years have brought accreditations for quality and satisfaction. The staff aims for patient-centered care, making sure everyone gets individual attention, and the facility is known for its compassionate approach and comfortable, homey touches, having served the Kissimmee community for many years.
