Palm Garden of Largo has 140 skilled nursing beds and provides both short-term and long-term care. The staff works with guests, families, and doctors to set up personalized rehab plans, using a full team approach with licensed professional therapists and nurses. The facility offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy, including outpatient therapy, therapy at home, and VitalStim therapy for those with swallowing problems. There's a dedicated short-term rehab unit with its own entrance, dining, gym, lounge, and patient rooms, which makes it easier for patients who only stay a short time. The therapy gyms are large and have equipment like treadmills, stationary bikes, and adaptive machines, and the rehabilitation team will work to speed up recovery in a caring setting.
Residents can use services like home care assistance, diabetic care, wound care, memory care for dementia, adult day care, respite care, palliative and hospice care, hospitalization, and post-acute recovery. Nursing care runs 24/7, and the staff includes a specialized wound care team and multi-lingual members who speak Spanish, Bosnian, Tagalog, Russian, and Vietnamese, so communication's a bit easier for folks from different backgrounds. There's support for dietary needs from a registered dietitian, meal preparation, special diets, and nutrition planning, plus laundry, housekeeping, and transportation to appointments or outings. Residents and guests get private or semi-private rooms, some with private bathrooms and furnishings, and each room has cable or satellite TV, emergency call systems, and WiFi. There's also wheelchair access, air conditioning, and both indoor and outdoor spaces for socializing or relaxing.
Social life and activities don't fall by the wayside, with options like exercise classes, painting, card games, fitness center, worship, meditation, group outings, a beauty and barber salon, a residents' lounge, game room, and restaurant-style dining room, so people can find things to keep them busy or connected. Families can trust that the Palm Garden of Largo focuses on helping each person live as well as possible, with life enrichment programs and spacious therapy areas designed for recovery and independence. They've earned a five-star rating as a skilled nursing facility and carry Joint Commission National Quality Approval. They accept Medicare and Medicaid, and always try to make sure care matches the needs of the guest or resident, whether that's short-term rehab, long-term living, or specific clinical support like wound or diabetic care. There's also follow-up support after discharge, so people who've finished a rehab stay have a bit more help as they go back home.
