Palm Garden of Clearwater operates as a skilled nursing home, offering around-the-clock clinical oversight for residents who need a higher level of medical attention. On-site licensed nurses deliver daily care, and the facility can step in with short-term respite stays when caregivers need a break. A dedicated rehabilitation team provides structured physical therapy programs that address mobility, strength, and post-acute recovery goals.
In addition to direct medical services, staff assist with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and medication administration. Care plans are personalized after multidisciplinary assessments and are reviewed regularly to stay aligned with changes in health status. The community maintains close communication with physicians, coordinates outside specialist visits, and keeps emergency response protocols in place at all times.
Resident accommodations include private and semiprivate rooms designed for safety and ease of movement. Some rooms have views of an outdoor garden, while others are located near general outdoor areas that allow fresh-air access. Features such as accessible bathrooms, emergency call systems, and built-in storage vary by room type, and not every unit offers every feature.
Meals are prepared on site, with registered dietitians overseeing menus to ensure nutritional balance and to address physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium or diabetic. Staff offer assistance for residents who need help eating, and alternative entrée choices are available at each meal. Families may arrange for guest meals and can discuss cultural or religious dietary preferences in advance.
The facility includes an activity center where group events and exercise sessions are scheduled daily. A library and computer lounge give residents quiet space for reading, internet access, and email. Arts and crafts programming is offered regularly to encourage creativity and fine motor engagement. Routine housekeeping, laundry, and transportation for medical appointments are part of the standard service package.
