Plaza Health and Rehab in Gainesville is licensed as a skilled nursing facility, which means residents have access to round-the-clock nursing oversight and on-site medical professionals who can address complex health needs. The center offers rehabilitation services with a particular emphasis on physical therapy; therapists work with residents recovering from surgery, illness, or injury to regain mobility and strength. Care teams monitor vital signs, administer medication, and coordinate with physicians and specialists to adjust treatment plans as conditions change, aiming to shorten hospital stays and reduce readmissions.
Beyond direct clinical services, the facility organizes individualized care plans that outline goals for each resident’s recovery or long-term maintenance. Social services staff help coordinate physician appointments, arrange transportation for off-site medical visits, and guide families through insurance or Medicare paperwork. Residents who need help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, or grooming receive assistance from certified nursing assistants trained to support both safety and dignity. Regular assessments ensure that the level of care adjusts promptly if a resident’s condition improves or declines.
Living quarters include a selection of private and shared rooms, each with basic furnishings, adaptive bathroom fixtures, and access to emergency call systems. Some rooms provide direct views of landscaped outdoor areas where residents can walk or sit for fresh air; however, not every accommodation includes the same features, so prospective residents should verify specific room details during a tour. The campus is designed with wide hallways and handrails to make movement easier for individuals using mobility aids.
Meals are prepared on-site and served three times daily in a communal dining room, with staff available to assist residents who need help eating. A registered dietitian oversees menus to ensure that therapeutic diets—such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanically altered—are available when ordered by a physician. Snacks are offered between meals, and residents who are unable to leave their rooms may receive bedside tray service.
