W Frank Wells Nursing Home sits in Baker County, Florida, right next to Ed Fraser Memorial Hospital, and offers skilled nursing care for seniors who need help with daily living or medical support, and there's room for 100 residents with studio choices and private bathrooms, plus cable TV, kitchenettes, air conditioning, telephones, and furnished rooms, and the whole place is ADA compliant with handicap accessibility. The center holds a 4-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, is the highest rated in Macclenny with an 8.2 out of 10 average, and it's dually certified to accept Medicare and Medicaid, as well as self-pay and most major insurances, and also helps residents who have Medicaid. There's round-the-clock skilled nursing care plus an emergency call system and a 24-hour call button for help, and residents can get assistance with things like dressing, bathing, eating, and medications, along with transfers or non-ambulatory care, and the staff will help with wounds and IV therapy.
The place offers therapy programs including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and there are special therapy plans for each resident to help recovery or keep up abilities, and the staff takes care to work with various medical needs, including palliative care, hospice care with the help of Community Hospice of Northeast Florida, and long-term custodial support, so some people stay while recovering from surgery, stroke, or injury, and others stay longer due to chronic illnesses. The nursing home brings in services like radiology, podiatry, and laboratory work from its hospital connection, and residents get regular doctor supervision and medication management with drugs stored and dispensed on site. For meals, the kitchen serves food in a restaurant-style dining room, and if someone has special dietary needs from allergies or diabetes, the kitchen staff makes those meals too, and there's a professional chef handling food preparation and menu planning.
Throughout the facility, residents find plenty of community spaces and programs, with an arts and activity room, library, community theater, in-house beauty services, outdoor gardens and walking paths, and spaces for families to visit and support their loved ones, and residents use Wi-Fi or a resident email system to stay in touch. Daily activities fill the schedule, with music, fitness, arts, and outdoor programs, plus resident-run activities and events organized by the staff, and there's transportation and parking for getting offsite when needed. The staff handles housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and helps with personal needs, while offering supervision and supporting independence as much as possible. Tours are available for families, and the intake process involves getting more information by calling, which helps match the right services to each individual, focusing on residents' health, dignity, and overall well-being, while maintaining a compassionate and professional environment.
