Near Southern Pines Nursing Center, New Port Richey
Assisted living near Southern Pines Nursing Center
When a rehab stay at Southern Pines Nursing Center is ending, our nearer community sits about 54 minutes north on the Nature Coast, in Homosassa.

Southern Pines Nursing Center sits in west Pasco County, in New Port Richey along US 19. If your parent is finishing rehab there and cannot safely live alone, the nearer of our two family owned communities is Sugarmill Manor in Homosassa, about 54 minutes north, and The Gardens in Crystal River is a bit further.
That is a real drive up the coast, and we say so plainly. 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.
From a rehab stay to a longer term home
A stay at Southern Pines is short and medical. Once a parent meets their therapy goals, the discharge team helps plan the next step. For many families that step is assisted living, a residential home with help for daily tasks and medications, without hospital level nursing.
We keep the detail in one place so this page stays short. Read assisted living after rehab in Citrus County for the timing and what Medicare covers.
Florida Medicaid can help pay for the care a parent receives in assisted living, though it does not cover room and board and can have a waitlist. Ask us where you stand.
A short stay while you decide
You do not have to commit to a full move the week rehab ends. A short respite stay lets a parent keep recovering in a real apartment while you tour and compare at your own pace.
When you are ready, schedule a tour at either community, or call us to talk it through first.
