Review of Calusa Harbour
Calusa Harbour is a small, for profit, nursing home with 60 beds based in Fort Myers, FL. At last check, the facility had 57 residents indicating that it is 95% occupied which is about average within the state of Florida. The provider accepts both medicare and medicaid programs, and provides resident and family counseling services.

This nursing home and assisted living facility, is not located in a hospital or a continuing care retirement community (CCRC). As of April 2010, the medicare rating for Calusa Harbour, was 4 stars, which is a better rating than 88% of nursing homes in Florida. Important to note that this facility has recently improved and has gone from 2 stars to 4 stars.

We have compared the detailed Medicare data for Calusa Harbour with other senior care providers in Florida. When compare to the state averages for staffing, the number of registered nurse (RN) hours per resident per day is lower than average; Certified nursing assistant (CNA) hours per resident per day is about average; The number of licensed practical (LPN) or vocational nurse hours per resident per day is about average. The most recent health inspection was on 12/17/2009. When comparing the health condition of long stay residents to other nursing homes in Florida, it is more likely for residents to have a catheter inserted and left and for residents to spend most of their time in bed and it is less likely for residents that the need for help with daily activities would increase over time, to have their ability to move around their room get worse, and to lose too much weight for high-risk residents to have pressure sores for low-risk residents to lose control of their bowels. When comparing the health condition of short stay residents to other nursing homes in Florida, it is less likely for residents to have moderate to severe pain.

Service Information for Calusa Harbour

Calusa Harbour is a nursing home. It provides medical nursing service for seniors with serious illnesses or disabilities twenty-four hours a day, delivered by registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nurse aids.

Nursing care facilities cater to several types of patients: some patients require short-term rehab while recovering from surgery; others require long-term nursing and medical supervision. In addition, some nursing homes offer specialized care programs for Alzheimer's or other illnesses, or short-term respite care for frail or disabled persons when a family member requires a rest from providing care in the home. Please note that you can help compare nursing homes by looking at the Medicare ratings of a given facility (Medicare has a 5-star rating system for comparing nursing homes). There are various ways for paying for care in a nursing home. Make sure you know your loved one's Medicare and Medicaid eligibility, and understand how you can use tools like long term care insurance to pay for nursing home care.

They provide a higher level of service for the elderly which can include preparing meals, housekeeping, medication assistance, laundry, and also do regular check-in's on the residents. Basically, they are designed to bridge the gap between independent living and nursing home facilities. When thinking about how to pay for care, assisted living facilities are generally less expensive than nursing homes, if assisted living is a viable option for your loved one.

It is often a set of apartments in a variety of sizes from studios to large two bedrooms, where seniors live independently, but may receive additional services like transportation, pools, a convenience store, bank, barber/beauty shop, resident laundry, housekeeping, and security, are all services and amenities that may be provided there.
