Located on a street bordering the majestic Pacific Ocean, Pacifica Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a simple square design, sturdily constructed to weather the occasional storms that are characteristic of the area. The Center is usually a hub of activity, as many patients require only short-term rehabilitation. The Center also provides services on an outpatient basis, with a focus on physical, occupational and speech therapies. The outpatient services can indirectly benefit the facility’s residents. One benefit is that the age range of patients is greater than usual. Another is access to the specialized rehabilitative equipment. Because it is available in a physical fitness or recreational milieu, many residents are motivated to make use of it.
A wide range of additional activities including dancing, facilitated discussion groups, and arts and crafts are provided seven days a week. A number of activities are held in the evenings, encouraging residents to stay active. At least seven activities are presented each day for residents to choose from. The Center focuses on its activities, as well as its caring staff, to help the residents feel “at home” for whatever length of time they remain.
