AdventHealth Dade City’s TCU receives 5-Star rating

August 11, 2021 — (August, 11, 2021) Dade City, FL – AdventHealth Dade City’s Transitional Care Unit (TCU) is the only short-term skilled nursing facility in East Pasco County to achieve a 5-star CMS rating, the highest rating possible for overall quality from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The prestigious recognition is based on health inspections, staffing, and quality of patient care.

“When the Transitional Care Unit opened its doors, we made a strong promise to our community that we would offer convenient and unrivaled whole-person care,” said Jason Newmyer, Administrator and Vice President for AdventHealth Dade City. “Achieving the highest possible score for overall quality is an indicator that our world-class team members are working tirelessly to provide superior patient outcomes.”

The 45-bed unit opened in summer of 2019 and is uniquely designed to offer physical, occupational, and speech therapies seven days a week. It is conveniently located within the hospital and provides access to highly trained physicians and therapists, who use leading-edge technology and innovative techniques.

“Our ‘patient first’ mentality has allowed us to become the premier destination for transitional health care services in East Pasco County,” said BobbieJo Roseboro, Director of the Transitional Care Unit at AdventHealth Dade City. “We are able to tap into our highly connected network of care and assist the community to achieve their healthiest life possible. We are so proud of this accomplishment.”

Because the environment patients recover in is just as important as the care they receive, the transitional care unit also provides a nurturing and healing experience. The unit offers beds without rails, allows patients to wear their own clothes instead of hospital gowns, provides 24/7 access to a social services worker, and includes an activities room with scheduled events to encourage patients to get active on the path to a fast, healthy recovery.
