About this community

Community Health & Rehabilitation Center is in Panama City, Florida. Its published services include inpatient rehabilitation intended to support a transition home and outpatient therapy for people continuing to work toward individual therapy goals. The center also invites inquiries about skilled nursing, short-term care and long-term care. These are identified as subjects for prospective care discussions; the available information does not specify general room layouts or a dining program.

Care planning is described as personalized, taking patient preferences and family input into account. Physical therapy addresses mobility and functional goals following orthopedic or neurological conditions or injuries. Work may focus on range of motion, strength, coordination and muscle control, as well as reducing pain. The center’s website also notes that therapy equipment is available at the facility, though it does not describe the equipment in detail.

Occupational therapy focuses on greater independence with everyday tasks such as bathing, dressing and eating. It may involve practicing with specialized equipment as part of rehabilitation. Speech-language therapy addresses communication skills, including speaking, problem solving, reading, writing and verbal expression. Therapists also assess and treat swallowing disorders, providing support for needs that can affect eating and communication.

The center lists specialty programs in orthopedic and cardiac rehabilitation, stroke recovery, pulmonary therapy, lymphedema therapy, mist therapy and wound care. Other listed services include urinary incontinence care, pain reduction, vestibular therapy and a balance program. The available descriptions name these programs but do not explain their schedules or the specific care provided through each one.

VITAS provides inpatient hospice care at the center for patients who need care beyond what can be provided at home. The service is intended to address those needs so patients can return to routine home hospice care when appropriate. VITAS describes round-the-clock, individualized care from an interdisciplinary team. Listed team roles include physicians, hospice nurses, social workers, chaplains and bereavement specialists. The page describes physicians as monitoring illness and coordinating care, while nurses assess and manage pain and other symptoms; social workers and chaplains offer emotional and spiritual support, and bereavement specialists support loved ones. The hospice area has eight private rooms, each with a private bathroom and flat-screen television.

Hospice visitor facilities include overnight guest accommodations, shower facilities, computer and internet access, a family conference room and a shared family room. The area also has local artwork and an outdoor space. VITAS says visitors are welcome at any time, with free parking and leashed, well-behaved pets permitted. Separately, a third-party directory lists art classes, a library or reading room, personal care and transportation among the center’s amenities.

I really liked how calm, clean, quiet, and supportive Community Health and Rehabilitation Center felt. The staff were professional and welcoming, making the overall experience comfortable and reassuring.

Ms. Stephanie made the whole experience seamless with a loved one!

My old lady neighbor had a terrible fall outside on her porch. Community and their staff got her back to 100% so quickly!-

The only skilled nursing home, I Recommend to families when discharging from The hospital.. The administration staff is easy to work with and coordinate discharge plans even on weekends!

Very nice people. Very clean. The staff is really Nice. I Would highly recommend.

Our biggest regret. Basic needs not met. They left our loved one to sit/lay in same position for hours or even the entire day so he began developing pressure wounds. Left to sit in feces and urine hours after notifying CNA and/or nurse. Several hours would go daily by with no check-in from nurse or aid. Some days food tray left out of reach. Help eating not provided so missed meals when we weren't there. Dentures never removed or cleaned leading to pneumonia. Family had to take shifts to provide basic care. Found out at one point no therapy had been done for weeks, the whole point of him being in rehab for a broken vertebrae. When I asked nurse Susan she simply glared at me saying, "do you want him to hurt? Are you trying to hurt him?" Therapy finally initiated. Patient was memory impaired with spine fracture but physical therapy put him on toilet and left room, leading to a fall and hip fracture. Nurse Susan cold to family/patient and told them it was "patient's own fault" for not waiting for assistance. His memory was so poor he was unable to retain what what he was told even 2 minutes prior, obviously not a candidate to be left unattended in a potentially dangerous situation. Family members witnessed him being roughly rolled onto wound vac and aid laughed when he howled in pain. There are a few wonderful CNA's, but not enough to change the culture or quality of care. Shortstaffed facility. Caregivers don't have enough time to complete basic care so they mark off things like baths being given when they were not. A whole family taking shifts, being present, providing care, submitting complaints to management, and advocating for him still wasn't enough. Too many more grievances we encountered to mention. I'd rather die alone at home than ever have to live like this.

My mom was a resident there for 4 years and passed away in July. Still haven't had a single call from ANYONE at Community to express condolences. I don't have the emotional energy to write out all the terrible experiences she endured. I would have tried to move her but was told they were the "best in town" by an outside professional.

My father was well cared for, from a kind and dependable staff. Given the opportunity, we would use this facility again.
