About Abbey Rehabilitation and Nursing Center

Abbey Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Saint Petersburg, Florida, provides skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and short- and long-term care. The center says it has served Pinellas County for more than 52 years and is located close to local hospitals. Its services include post-acute care for people transitioning from a hospital to home, as well as ongoing nursing and restorative care for residents who can no longer live independently.

The center describes post-acute care as support for the transition from hospital to home. Its team works with a physician to identify care and services intended to help each person meet individual discharge goals. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are the listed rehabilitation disciplines. These therapies are offered alongside skilled nursing. Short-term care is available in addition to long-term care, covering recovery after hospitalization as well as continuing care needs.

Staff roles named by the center include registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants. Long-term care includes general nursing and restorative services. Facility profiles also list wound care and medication management, along with intravenous therapy, tracheostomy management, and pain management. One profile describes tracheostomy management as including routine suctioning, stoma care, and airway assessments by licensed nurses under physician orders. It also mentions respiratory-therapist evaluation visits and portable oxygen and suction equipment on nursing units. For pain management, the profile describes physician-directed medication plans, therapy approaches, and routine pain-scale assessments. The center’s website lists services but does not detail these procedures or specify the circumstances for each service.

Care planning is described as coordinated and individualized. An interdisciplinary team works with residents or patients, families, and staff to develop a plan for each person. Family involvement is included alongside input from the individual and center staff. Social services are another listed support, in addition to activities and nutritional services. Housekeeping and laundry are also provided, adding practical assistance to the nursing and rehabilitation services. Specific activity programs, schedules, meal arrangements, and room layouts are not detailed in the available information.

Facility information also lists respite stays and hospice support, and reports Medicare and Medicaid participation. Respite is described as a temporary care option for families needing a break from their usual caregiving role; it is distinct from long-term residency, although admission criteria are not specified. Hospice support is another service reported in facility profiles. These options are listed alongside the center’s short- and long-term care, while its own description emphasizes post-acute transitions and ongoing nursing support.
