The Health Care District of Palm Beach County recently marked the dedication of the Edward J. Healey Rehabilitation and Nursing Center replacement facility with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the site of the new building in Riviera Beach. The new 120-bed Healey Center replaces the existing facility in West Palm Beach, which has served the needs of the community since 1917.

 

The new building was completed on-time and under budget. The modern and spacious design gives residents more privacy, brings common areas like dining and day rooms closer to the residents’ rooms, and enables staff to provide more care inside the residents’ rooms. High efficiency environmental systems will lower operating costs and improve indoor air quality. The facility is hurricane-resistant and exceeds prevailing hurricane codes and standards.
