Ocean View Nursing & Rehabilitation Center sits in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, and offers skilled nursing care along with rehabilitation for both short-term and long-term stays, and with 239 certified beds in a large building, there's usually space for new residents, and they take Medicare and Medicaid, which helps many families manage the costs. The staff includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, and therapists, so residents get care from people with proper training, and there's always someone available including with a 24-hour call system and steady supervision. Ocean View provides specialized care, like stroke and cardiac recovery, wound care, palliative and hospice care, as well as therapy programs including physical, speech, and occupational therapy, and patients take part in therapy activities that keep them working toward recovery or help them maintain function, so families and residents know the rehab side is covered, and the interdisciplinary team plans care around each person's own medical needs and goals, with case managers, dieticians, social service workers, and more involved.
For those who need extra help, the facility assists with bathing, dressing, meals, medication management, and transfers, with staff on hand for non-ambulatory care and all activities of daily living, and the residents always have help close by if something's needed, including an emergency alert system for safety. Ocean View serves people who want assisted living, independent living, or memory care, which means there's options for people with different needs, and the place is pretty big, so it has enough indoor common areas for people to relax or gather, like a movie theater, fitness room, music and arts rooms, a spa and wellness room, and game and activity rooms, plus there are outdoor spaces and walking paths to enjoy Florida weather and organized outings for easy changes of scenery. Apartments and rooms come with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, phones, WiFi, and air conditioning, and staff handle things like housekeeping, laundry, transportation, and even move-in coordination; they welcome pets, which adds to the feeling of home for many, and there are group programs like communal dining, music events, organized fitness like yoga or stretching, field trips, and art sessions, so nobody has to feel left out.
The center runs as a for-profit corporation, and as part of a network of senior care communities, they have information about other nearby facilities if someone needs something different, and since there's a Wander Guard System, folks with memory issues have an extra layer of safety, though family councils aren't present-only resident councils are available for feedback. Meals suit special diets and come restaurant-style, housekeeping keeps things tidy, and there's community transport and parking, so day-to-day living is pretty straightforward, and the staff get good ratings for the care and attention they provide. The facility has an A-minus overall grade and scored A-plus for its inspection quality, so the standards are high for both safety and the building itself, and families can ask for tours to see everything firsthand before deciding. The care covers a wide range, from managing chronic illness or pain to handling complex needs like IV therapy, orthopedic recovery, respiratory care, tracheotomy care, nutrition planning, psychiatric consultation, cancer care, hospice support, and even anticoagulation programs, always with the aim of maintaining or improving comfort and health. Residents can join in resident-run activities or enjoy downtime in the library, outdoor areas, or private space, and daily life is supported by a well-rounded team and a full menu of activities and therapy options.
