The 5-Star rated Chateau at Moorings Park is a Medicare-certified Skilled Nursing Center providing short term therapy, long term care and memory care services.
“Being a recipient of the Governor’s Gold Seal Award, which is awarded every three years, is testament to Mooring Park’s commitment to providing Simply the Best® quality healthcare and services available in the region,” stated Dan Lavender, CEO and President of Moorings Park.
The Gold Seal Award program was developed and implemented by the Governor’s Panel on Excellence in Long Term Care, which is composed of persons appointed by the Governor’s office, Agency for Health Care Administration, Department of Health, Department of Elder Affairs, Leading Age Florida, Florida Health Care Association, Florida Life Care Residents Association, and the State Long Term Care Ombudsman.
Centers that wish to be considered for the Gold Seal Award must submit an application with supporting documentation to the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, which is then reviewed by the Governor’s Panel on Excellence in Long Term Care. The panel considers stringent criteria and then makes recommendations to the Governor. Successful applicants must meet a quality of care scoring and ranking that places them in the top 10 percent in their region or top 15 percent in the state, and be a 5-Star facility in the Nursing Home Guide. They cannot have any Class I or II deficiencies within 30 months preceding their application and provide evidence of financial soundness and stability.
Applicants must also participate in a consumer satisfaction process involving residents, family members, and guardians, as well as demonstrate they involve families and members of the community in the facility on a regular basis and have a stable workforce.
Residents of The Chateau enjoy a full calendar of social, recreational and spiritual activities, including music therapy and chaplaincy service.
The Chateau’s long term care program offers support for a variety of chronic illnesses or disabilities. Residents have the choice of spacious, tastefully furnished private and semi-private rooms or they can bring their own favorite pieces from home to retain the continuity of familiar surroundings. By working closely with residents’ physicians and family members, individualized care plans are created that address long-term needs.
