Avante Villa At Jacksonville Beach sits about two miles from the shore and right near Baptiste Beaches Hospital, where the salty air rolls in now and then and folks might enjoy a slower pace, and this non-profit place runs as a skilled nursing facility within a Continuing Care Retirement Community with 165 certified beds, and you'll find registered nurses, LPNs, CNAs, dietitians, social workers, and therapy professionals on staff, folks who focus on skilled nursing, rehab, and memory care, plus special services like wound care, post-surgical recovery, and outpatient therapies, and they'll help you with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and taking medication, since nursing supervision and a 24-hour call system are available, and there's everything from physical, occupational, and speech therapy to unique programs-Freedom Through Functionality, bariatric care, neuro and pulmonary rehab, and stroke recovery-and you can get help with complex medical needs like trach and catheter care, dialysis, respiratory and apnea monitoring, BIPAP/CIPAP, oxygen, and pain management, or even outpatient dialysis if needed, and they also offer palliative and end-of-life care, with support for families too.
Rooms all come furnished, have private bathrooms, kitchenettes, TV and cable, phones, air conditioning, and high-speed internet, and you'll find flat-screen TVs with DVDs, which some folks appreciate, and there are different sized rooms for different needs. The dining rooms look more like a restaurant, with a professional chef preparing meals that can accommodate allergies, diabetes, or other restrictions, and dining staff tries to meet special requests when they can. Residents can join community activities like special events, daily programs, and even resident-run groups, and there's always something to do-game room, library with plenty of books and magazines, fitness and wellness rooms, arts and music events, and plenty of outdoor areas like walking paths, gardens, and spots to sit in the sun, which some people really enjoy. Transportation and parking are available if residents need to get out, and housekeeping, laundry, and move-in help are part of the package. They accept both Medicaid and Medicare.
Avante Villa At Jacksonville Beach has a 5-star rating from CMS.gov and Newsweek once ranked it #26 in the nation for best nursing homes, and folks here get care in English, and you'll find staff can help with psychiatry, psychology, podiatry, dental, gastroenterology, and there's memory care, respite stays, and family support groups as well, though there's no one specialty listed above the rest.
