Heather Hill Healthcare Center

About Heather Hill Healthcare Center

Heather Hill Healthcare Center is a 120-bed, not-for-profit skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in New Port Richey, Florida. It is located about one mile north of historic downtown and reports Joint Commission accreditation. Skilled nursing care is provided around the clock. The center lists nursing care, rehabilitation, respite care, and Alzheimer’s and dementia care among its options, and identifies a secure memory care unit.

Information about resident care includes assistance with bathing, restroom activities, grooming, personal hygiene, dressing, and walking. The list covers both personal routines and mobility support. Alzheimer’s and dementia care are listed alongside the secure unit, while respite care appears as a separate option. The materials do not specify room layouts or describe how stays are arranged, so these care categories do not indicate a particular living arrangement.

Rehabilitation services include physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as stroke rehabilitation. The center describes physical therapy as addressing pain and mobility, and occupational therapy as supporting skills associated with independent living. Speech therapists work with speech and swallowing disorders, including assessment and treatment. Stroke rehabilitation is described as customized to help residents relearn skills lost after a stroke, giving it a specific focus within the broader rehabilitation program.

The center also names Manual Lymphatic Therapy, Allen Cognitive Level Screening, Synchrony Dysphagia Therapy, and a Post Discharge Treatment Protocol among its programs. Nutritional therapy includes an individualized assessment for each patient. The materials do not explain the details or eligibility for the named programs, but they distinguish these offerings from the listed physical, occupational, and speech therapies. Quality-of-life programming includes activities for residents; no particular activity schedule or examples are specified.

For residents who have selected hospice, Heather Hill lists short- and long-term stays. Nurses coordinate with hospice providers during a resident’s stay, and the center reports working with Gulfside Hospice and HPH Hospice in the Pasco area. It also says it is open to partnerships with other hospice agencies. The description presents this care as coordinated with outside hospice providers, rather than as a hospice service delivered solely by the facility.

The published team roster includes an administrator, a director of nursing, a medical director, and a director of rehabilitation. It also identifies directors for plant operations, social services, and life enrichment, as well as a dietary manager. Other listed roles include admissions, medical records, the business office, and human resources and payroll. These titles indicate the departments represented in the roster; the center’s care information separately describes nursing, therapy, nutrition, and resident activities. The available materials do not provide further detail about dining arrangements, amenities, or daily schedules.
