Gulfside Center for Hospice Care at Heather Hill provides nursing home, home care, hospice care, palliative care, respite care, and skilled nursing in New Port Richey, Florida. Located in the Jasmine Hills neighborhood, the community has 105 beds. Skilled nursing means licensed nursing care is available on site around the clock, while home care supports people who remain in their own homes.
Hospice care focuses on comfort and support for people with life limiting illnesses, while palliative care addresses comfort alongside treatment. Respite care offers a short stay when a family caregiver needs time away, and short term rehabilitation provides rehabilitation services during a temporary stay. The range of care can suit someone with a life limiting illness who needs comfort focused support or a family caregiver seeking a short term arrangement.
Private rooms reserve each resident’s room for individual use. Unrestricted visitation hours allow visitors without set visiting hour limits, which gives families flexibility around when they come. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 43 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated per resident.
Families can use Medicare, Medicaid, or private pay. Medicare and Medicaid are public payment options, while private pay uses the resident’s or family’s funds.
