The West Melbourne Health and Rehabilitation Center is a pillar of care, serving the vibrant city of Melbourne, Brevard County, and the wider eastern Central Florida Region. It offers a distinguished and refreshing alternative to the conventional long-term care and rehabilitation facility. During meal times, residents are offered the choice of savoring their meals in the comfort of their room or within a restaurant-style dining area, ensuring that their dining experience is as enjoyable and varied as their overall stay.
At this facility, an unwavering commitment to quality is complemented by the presence of a professional and compassionate staff, setting the stage for a superior experience. Residents are invited to unwind in the outdoor courtyards and partake in diverse daily activities designed to keep them engaged and active. The environment is meticulously designed, with beautifully decorated common areas that evoke a sense of warmth and welcome.
Occupancy lower than 85% suggests more openings may be available.
In Florida, the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) is the primary authority that conducts unannounced inspections and completes official health quality reports for all healthcare facilities.

The most recent inspection on December 4, 2025, found deficiencies related to the facility’s failure to refund a resident’s positive account balance within 30 days of discharge and multiple issues identified during the annual survey, including dining dignity, grievance handling, personal funds management, sanitation, care planning, and respiratory treatment orders. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving resident care, communication, infection control, and quality assurance processes, with several complaint investigations substantiating failures in timely family notification, treatment of infections, and care planning. Inspectors cited repeated issues with maintaining resident dignity, following physician orders, and ensuring proper documentation and environmental cleanliness. Complaint investigations were mostly substantiated, including a case where delayed lab work led to sepsis and hospitalization. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with compliance, with no clear trend of sustained improvement.
