Pruitthealth – Fleming Island operates as a skilled nursing facility, delivering 24-hour licensed nursing care for residents who need either short-term rehabilitation or long-term support. Physician oversight guides individualized care plans that may include complex wound management, IV therapy, pain control, and post-surgical recovery services. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants work in shifts around the clock to monitor vitals, administer medications, and respond quickly to changes in condition.
Beyond core medical services, the center offers on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy aimed at restoring strength, balance, and communication skills. A therapy gym, respiratory care capability, and regular access to lab work, imaging coordination, and pharmacy delivery help reduce the need for outside appointments. Social services staff coordinate care transitions, while case managers and dietitians collaborate with medical providers to track progress, adjust treatment, and educate families about ongoing health needs.
Resident accommodations include a mix of private and shared rooms equipped with adjustable hospital-style beds, wheelchair-accessible bathrooms, and emergency call systems. Some rooms add in-room climate controls, cable television, and Wi-Fi, and housekeeping and personal laundry are provided on a scheduled basis. Common areas such as lounges, activity rooms, and secure outdoor patios give residents space to visit with family or participate in group programs. Not all accommodations have every feature, so families should review room layouts and amenities during a tour.
Meals are prepared under the guidance of a registered dietitian, with menus designed to meet clinical requirements such as cardiac, renal, diabetic, or altered-texture diets. Residents typically eat in a central dining room that supports social interaction, though tray service to the room is available when medically indicated. Between-meal snacks, hydration stations, and the option to request seasonal menu substitutions help residents maintain adequate nutrition. Staff monitor intake and coordinate with physicians to adjust meal plans whenever health conditions change.
