Polo Rehabilitation & Health Care Center is a medium-sized, for-profit skilled nursing facility that participates in both Medicare and Medicaid programs. Operating with 81 beds, the center provides a range of services to its residents, including both short-term rehabilitation for those recovering after a hospital stay and long-term care for individuals requiring ongoing assistance. The ownership model is corporate and the facility is not part of a continuing care retirement community.
The facility is dedicated to supporting residents' daily medical and non-medical needs. Residents typically receive an average of three hours and twenty-one minutes of nurse staffing per day, ensuring assistance with medication management, dressing, eating, mobility, and hygiene tasks. The center places importance on maintaining consistent staffing levels, including on weekends, and strives to help residents maintain abilities such as moving, eating, and using the bathroom independently; over ninety percent of long-term residents remained able to self-care in these ways during their stay. There is a focus on preventative healthcare, as demonstrated by an influenza vaccination rate of nearly ninety percent among residents.
For those requiring post-acute rehabilitation, the center offers programs intended to aid recovery after medical events such as strokes, heart attacks, infections, and injuries. Approximately forty percent of short-term residents were able to return home following their rehabilitation at the center. The facility monitors and tracks the incidence of serious infections and emergency room visits for these residents, aiming to maintain the health and safety of each individual during their stay.
Regular health, fire, and safety inspections provide oversight of food preparation, medication management, infection control, and accident prevention. Polo Rehabilitation & Health Care Center has addressed areas identified for improvement in past inspections, including the provision of daily living assistance, pressure ulcer care, dialysis care, and infection prevention controls. Staff qualifications, such as having a registered nurse on duty and appointing a director of nursing, are also prioritized for the well-being of residents.
The center is equipped to provide safe pharmaceutical services and develops policies for essential vaccinations such as flu and pneumonia. A qualified infection preventionist is designated for the facility, overseeing the infection prevention and control program to minimize disease risks among residents. The facility works to create a respectful and supportive environment, upholding resident dignity, self-determination, and communication.
Polo Rehabilitation & Health Care Center integrates these services and programs within a setting that is responsive to residents’ needs, ensuring both medical and everyday assistance is available. With its staff support, health monitoring, and commitment to resident independence, the center serves a vital role for individuals and families seeking either brief rehabilitative stays or longer-term nursing care in a supportive environment.
