Petersburg Healthcare Center

It is a mid-sized skilled nursing home certified for 120 beds, caring for about 105 residents on a typical day, so it usually runs fairly full. It offers both short-term rehab after a hospital stay and long-term nursing care.

The home's own pages list physical, occupational, and speech therapy; dementia and memory care; wound care with dedicated physicians; cardiac recovery care; hospice and palliative support; and short respite stays. Staff also describe substance-abuse treatment, pulmonary care, and neurological rehab. Confirm any specific service directly with the facility before you decide.

No. Petersburg Healthcare Center and Battlefield Park Healthcare Center are two separate CommuniCare homes in Petersburg. This page is for Petersburg Healthcare Center at 287 East South Boulevard; make sure any records or referrals name the right one.

Federal regulators have flagged this home with an abuse icon, which means a recent inspection cited an issue related to resident abuse, neglect, or mistreatment. Take it seriously: ask the home exactly what was cited, what they changed, and how they train and screen staff and handle complaints today. Always confirm details directly with the facility before making a decision.

It has 3 out of 5 stars overall, with 5 stars on long-stay quality measures but 2 stars on both health inspections and staffing, and 14 deficiencies (no fines). Registered-nurse turnover is high, about 67 percent. Ask how many nurses and aides work each shift and how they cover gaps. Star ratings are a government regulatory measure, not family reviews.

Ask what the 14 inspection deficiencies and the abuse citation were about and how each was fixed, how the home keeps staffing steady given high turnover, and how it handles wound care, memory care, and behavioral needs. Always confirm services, availability, and coverage directly with the facility before making a decision.

You can reach the home at 804-733-1190, the number listed on its pages. Its admissions team says it takes admissions 24/7, is government-certified, and accepts private pay. It does not list veterans' contracts or specific managed-care plans, so ask how your own coverage or plan would apply.
