Assisted living near Morton Plant North Bay Hospital
Leaving the hospital in New Port Richey and looking for a quieter coastal community up the Nature Coast? Sugarmill Manor in Homosassa is about 54 minutes north.
Morton Plant North Bay Hospital sits in west Pasco County, in New Port Richey along US 19. If your parent is being discharged and cannot go straight home, the closer of our two family owned communities is Sugarmill Manor in Homosassa, about 54 minutes north. The Gardens in Crystal River is about an hour and twenty minutes.
That is a real drive up the coast, and we would rather say so than pretend it is close. Families who want a smaller coastal community, or who have relatives in Citrus County, make it. If a closer option fits better, choose what is closest.
Coming straight from a hospital or rehab stay
Sometimes the hospital recommends a short stretch of skilled rehab before assisted living. Medicare can cover up to 100 days of skilled nursing after a qualifying inpatient stay, and that coverage ends when the rehab does. Assisted living is the longer term home that often comes next, with help for daily tasks but not hospital level nursing.
We keep the mechanics short here. For the full picture, read how the move from a hospital stay works.
Ask the discharge planner one plain question: is the next step skilled rehab, or is my parent ready for assisted living now. Their answer tells you which door to knock on first.
Which of our two communities fits
Sugarmill Manor in Homosassa is the nearer choice and was voted Best Assisted Living in Citrus County. The Gardens in Crystal River is a little further and sits near the water. Both are family owned and offer assisted living and secured memory care under one roof.
If you would rather start with a short stay, ask about respite care. When you are ready, schedule a tour at either community.
