Mariner Health, known locally as Moultrie Creek Nursing and Rehab Center, sits at 200 Mariner Health Way in St. Augustine, Florida, and takes care of seniors with needs ranging from independent living to skilled nursing and rehab, which means you'll find both short-term and long-term options if you're looking for care after a hospital stay or if you need permanent help. The place handles many types of care, like assisted living for people who need help with dressing, bathing, or remembering medicines, memory care for those with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias-including features to help with wandering and confusion-regular nursing care, and even home care with trained aides if someone's still living at their own house and just needs some companionship or help with everyday things. They've got a rehabilitation gym so folks can keep up with therapy, and the therapy staff can come seven days a week, and if someone can't make it to a doctor's office, they have portable telemedicine equipment, so doctors can help right from the resident's bedside, even during evenings and weekends, and they've added a Post COVID-19 Recovery Program for people who've had a bad spell in the hospital.
The rooms at Moultrie Creek come in both private and shared options, though the details aren't all listed, there's air conditioning, wheelchair access, outdoor seating, and parking for visitors. Meals are made by chefs and meal planners who say they use quality ingredients, and the grounds have landscaping where folks can go outside. The staff has a reputation for being helpful, joyful, and kind, with a community focus on being welcoming, which seems to be noticed by others because the center has received awards for "Best of Senior Living," "All Star," "Best Activities," and "Most Friendly." Aside from the hands-on care, Mariner Health uses the SeniorAdvisor service to provide free help to families trying to figure out which senior care option fits best, offering access to a local advisor, reviews with verification for honesty, and ways to compare community ratings, though the scores for this particular location aren't high, with a review score showing just 0.5 stars. Mariner Health doesn't share prices on their website, but they'll answer questions about availability, and there's a customer service team open from early morning into the evening. The service area includes St. Augustine and the local region, connecting families with resources on senior apartments, residential care homes, and in-home care, so families can pick what they need.
