Mary Lee Depugh Nursing Home Association

Our goal is to become the skilled nursing facility of choice in the Winter Park area. We aim serve the senior community that requires short-term and long-term care services. We aim to provide quality care and rehab services in a loving, home like environment.  We will continue to be a 5 star CMS rated facility.  In the next year, we intend to become Gold Seal and Joint Commission accrediated.

The Gardens has applied for the Governor's Gold Seal Award. This award recognizes nursing home facilities that demonstrate excellence in long-term care over a sustained period, promotes the stability of the industry and facilitates the physical, social, and emotional well-being of nursing home facility residents. Approximately 100 facilities may qualify to apply for this award and, if awarded, the Gardens will be one of only approximately 30 facilities in Florida with this prestigious distinction.
 The Gardens is also in the process of becoming Joint Commission accredited. Achieving accreditation makes a strong statement to the community about our efforts to provide the highest quality services and placing an emphasis on patient safety. Joint Commission is recognized by hospitals, insurers and other third parties. In some cases, becoming accredited is a prerequisite to eligibility for insurance reimbursement and for participation in managed care plans or contract bidding. By implementing Joint Commission standards, we will be able to focus on state-of-the-art performance improvement strategies that will help us continuously improve safety and quality of care, which can reduce the risk of error or low-quality care.
