About The Marion and Bernard L. Samson Nursing Center

The Marion and Bernard L. Samson Nursing Center in Saint Petersburg, Florida, is a skilled nursing center operated as a service of Menorah Life, a nonprofit senior healthcare organization. Menorah Life describes Samson as serving residents with chronic and complex medical needs through person-centered care. Listed services include therapeutic programs, long-term care and memory care, placing nursing and health-related support at the center’s core. Menorah Life says its skilled nursing work is guided by Jewish traditions and values of dignity, respect, kindness and compassion, while serving people of all faiths and ethnicities.

Care options include short-term recovery and long-term residential care, with 24-hour skilled nursing also listed. A directory reports 180 certified beds and identifies the center as neither part of a hospital nor located within a continuing care retirement community. The bed total is not broken out by care type in the available listing. The descriptions do not specify room layouts, whether accommodations are private or shared, or how long short-term stays typically last.

Post-acute rehabilitation services listed include physical, occupational and speech therapy. Other named services are chronic disease management, wound care, medication administration and social services. The mix covers rehabilitation alongside support for ongoing health conditions, wound treatment, medications and social needs. The source descriptions do not give therapy schedules or explain whether each service is part of every resident’s plan, so the list should be understood as offerings for the center rather than a uniform regimen.

Memory care is among the center’s listed services, alongside long-term nursing care and therapeutic programs. The available descriptions do not outline memory-care routines or activities, and they provide no details about rooms, dining or resident amenities. Directory information reports participation in both Medicare and Medicaid, plus a resident council and a family council. It also reports an automatic sprinkler system in every area where one is required.

The center is in west St. Petersburg. Palms of Pasadena Hospital is identified as a nearby medical facility; Bayfront Health St. Petersburg and St. Anthony’s Hospital are also named among hospitals in the wider area. These are regional locations rather than documented medical affiliations: the available information does not explain referrals, care-transition arrangements or transportation between the center and hospitals.

Tyrone Square Mall and the 54th Avenue N corridor are listed as nearby shopping and dining areas. Bear Creek Preserve is a nearby green space, while St. Pete Beach and Treasure Island are within driving distance. These landmarks place the center in relation to commercial destinations and outdoor areas, but the information does not indicate that transportation or outings to them are included in its services.
