Terrace Health & Rehabilitation Center: Where Skilled Nursing, Rehab, and Dialysis Meet Personalized Care
The Terrace Health and Rehabilitation Center has long been a beacon of care and dedication in Gainesville, offering premier services to both short- and long-term rehabilitation patients. This year, their hard work, commitment to excellence, and focus on patient-centered care earned them the prestigious 2024 Best of Florida Award—an honor voted on by the community they serve so well. This recognition, hosted by GuideToFlorida.com as part of their annual Best of Florida Awards, is a testament to the trust and appreciation Terrace Health has cultivated over the years.
At the heart of Terrace Health is a deep-rooted mission to provide exceptional healthcare within a safe and individualized environment and to be the community’s preferred destination for patients, employees, and physicians.
This mission has taken a significant step forward with the opening of Terrace’s brand-new dialysis suite, celebrated on May 29, 2024. The in-house hemodialysis suite, a critical step forward in Terrace Health’s mission to provide comprehensive community care, consists of six dialysis chairs that provide care five days a week instead of the traditional three days. Each dialysis session lasts two hours and fifty minutes, compared to the longer sessions typical of outpatient facilities, ensuring that patients are less depleted and can engage in daily activities without feeling exhausted following the short session. The increased frequency of treatment helps reduce recovery times and maximizes residents’ quality of life, enabling them to more fully participate in rehabilitation programs.
“We want to ascend to a new level,” said Executive Director Barry Audain. “We don’t want to just be going through the motions here. We want people to know that this is a destination not only for staff, but also for residents and family members to find trust and value in what we do here on a day-to-day basis.”
Millennial Healthcare, which took ownership of Terrace Health three years ago, has been actively rebranding the facility to enhance the level of care. CEO Rob Manela emphasized the need for skilled nursing units to evolve into mini hospitals so they can better meet the needs of patients discharged from acute care facilities, which is the direction in which Terrace Health is heading. With plans including a cardiology program and new partnerships with local hospitals, Terrace is positioning itself as a leader in innovative healthcare.
Beyond their cutting-edge medical services, Terrace Health boasts a range of luxurious amenities and activities that aim to create an uplifting and enriching experience for their residents. From personalized concierge services and elegant dining experiences to serene outdoor courtyards perfect for peaceful relaxation, every aspect of the center is designed with the well-being and comfort of their residents in mind. For those who need it, the center’s specialty programs, including physical, occupational, and speech therapies, as well as its highly lauded in-house dialysis suite, provide comprehensive care all under one roof.
Receiving the Best of Florida Award is particularly special because it reflects customer satisfaction and community support. To win the votes of the people they serve is no small achievement, and it puts a well-deserved spotlight on Terrace Health and Rehabilitation Center’s reputation for healing and creating a welcoming, respecting environment for patients.
From laughter-filled activities to their top-tier medical services, Terrace Health and Rehabilitation Center continues to set the bar high in healthcare.
