A couple relaxes in the shade in the beautiful courtyard. A man practices his putting skills on the facility putting green. A woman carefully tends to the tomato plants in the courtyard gardening box as the sun beams down on her.

Surprisingly enough, all this activity takes place at a skilled nursing facility. 

Life Care Center of Melbourne has earned a reputation as a leader in both long-term nursing care and post-acute care, and the bottom line is customer service. The residents and post-acute care patients are treated as important and loved guests. In an atmosphere of wellness and a spa-style environment including luxuriant terry robes, our guests receive excellent and heart-felt nursing care and rehabilitation services. 

Conveniently located adjacent to the HealthFirst Holmes Regional hospital and new HealthFirst Heart Center campus, Life Care Center of Melbourne provides award-winning post-acute nursing as well as physical, occupational and speech therapies. Rehabilitation is available on both an inpatient and outpatient basis, and the facility offers some long-term care beds (please call for availability).

"We hear from many people that our facility feels more like a resort than a skilled nursing facility," said Maria Baird, director of nursing, who was honored by the Florida Health Care Association as the 2007 Director of Nursing of the Year as well as receiving Life Care Center of America's highest clinical award, The Mary Denton Award, for 2007.

Besides the beauty and recreational opportunities, the facility offers perks inside with individual swing-arm hospital televisions, gourmet coffee bar and concierge aide service.

Life Care Center of Melbourne is an award-winning facility with an amazing, cheerful staff. Our facility has been recognized in the community by two talk show radio hosts as being the leader in care and service based on these individuals' personal experience in the facility.

Residents can enjoy gathering with friends in the bistro lobby area or just relax with a book, magazine or puzzle. The facility has beauty shop and manicure/pedicure services where residents can be pampered. The award-winning activities department goes on frequent outings in our wheelchair-accessible bus to movies, shopping and local theatre.
