The Health Care District of Palm Beach County’s Skilled Nursing Center (formerly Healey Center) has earned three prestigious distinctions for nursing home excellence:
- Newsweek’s “America’s Best Nursing Homes 2025”
- U.S. News & World Report’s highest honor for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care
- 2024 Silver National Quality Award from the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL)
The Health Care District’s Skilled Nursing Center is home to a younger adult population than most nursing facilities, with an average resident age of 65, many of whom have experienced traumatic injuries, strokes, or debilitating illnesses. The center’s healthcare team is dedicated to helping residents achieve and maintain optimal levels of physical and social function. With five hours of nurse staffing per resident per day, significantly exceeding the state average of three hours and 52 minutes and the national average of three hours and 46 minutes, the center ensures a high level of care. Research shows that higher nurse staffing levels are linked to improved safety and better overall health outcomes for residents.
