Elder Care Services

There are three main areas of focus for the Prosperity Oaks healthcare specialists:

1. Short-term care: With a focus on an inpatient's specific lifestyle and unique condition, the ProMedica network ensures the patient is paired with the medical professional best-suited for them. The specialists work closely and personally with the patient to help them return to the sunny Florida lifestyle that brings them joy while having their temporary living space needs accommodated by the in-house Prosperity Oaks team.
2. Long-term care: For long-term residential services, the same ProMedica specialists offer the daily assistance needed for those needing a bit more attention—and all the more dignity—as they enjoy the peace they deserve. Prosperity Oaks states that its aim is to "provide gracious daily living and personal care in a homelike environment."
3. Outpatient rehabilitation: For those feeling almost fully independent but needing to touch in with supplemental rehabilitation services, Prosperity Oaks draws on the same vast network of Southeast Florida healthcare services for less frequent physical therapy needs. After discharge, outpatients can receive continuity of care with the therapists with whom they've established a relationship and maintain connections with their friends who are still living in the facility.

Government Rating of Heartland Health Care Center - Prosperity Oaks

As of January 2022, Medicare.gov's review of Heartland Health Care Center - Prosperity Oaks reflects an overall 4 out of 5-star rating, broken down as follows:

• Health inspections: Average (3 / 5)

• Quality measures, overall: Above average (4 / 5)

• Short-term care quality: Much above average (5 / 5)
• Long-term care quality: Above average (4 / 5)

• Staffing, overall: Much above average (5 / 5)

• Registered nurse staffing: Much above average (5 / 5)

The health inspections score looks at not only regular health inspections but also infection control inspections and inspections that occur following complaints.

The quality measures score is a bit more complex, taking into account several aspects of patient care including emergency room visits, rehospitalization, flu shot history, pain level, mobility, and more. Short-term patients are those who stay 100 days or less in the facility, while long-term patients are those who stay over 100 days.

The staffing score analyzes the staff to resident ratio. A nursing home will have a higher score if they have high numbers of nursing staff hours (registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse’s aides) and low staff turnover compared to the number of patients in residence.

Of course, it's important to review the facility yourself, seek second opinions, and make certain that you agree with the assessment of the facility. Look into verified reviews as well as previous fines or other regulatory issues, especially for recent incidents.

Frequently Asked Questions

‍What do elderly people need to look for from a rehab center?

Since movement—no matter at what level—is crucial to improving health, it's important to find a clinic that offers many options so that enjoyable physical activities are always available. Even for the most bed-bound patients, you'll want to make sure that the staff takes the need to move, even with assistance, quite seriously. Seek a nursing facility that has a higher than average amount of fun and engaging activities.

How long will I need to stay?

It varies widely. Above all, be clear about your goals and have the staff be on the same page. Remember that for post-op and ailment recovery, the medical professional is going to want to evaluate your progress and be able to adjust their treatment accordingly. Ensure financial pressures are a distant second (or even third) in priorities when compared to health outcomes, which must be primary.
