Cypress Gardens Convalescent Center

Arlene

Cypress Gardens Convalescent Center is fine and the general appearance is clean, nice, and generally friendly. The staff has been generally good to my son, and if we have to go back again, we wouldn't hesitate. The dining area just needs a new cook. My son has been there for rehab for a while now. They have physical therapy for a certain limited amount of time and it's good. They have average rooms.

my biggest problem with this place is there is no communication . my mom is there and I try to call her which I live in another state. they have no phone so I could talk to her. I called 5 times before they finally told me they don't know where the phones are.they said the only way I can talk to her is if I get her A cell phone. she is 86 and don't know how to use one. So Im setting here going nuts wondering if she is ok.

Once released from hospital following back surgery. ....i was immediately anxiety ridden with the prospectvof "convalescence"....as i look back, the staff were excellent in helping me with my fears...my pain...my overall state of being. I remember myself as being reluctant in all aspects of my rehabilitation in a place i thought of as " rest home"....end of the line was all i embraced....well, this is directed to any family members that may find their loved ones coming to be a new family member in this facility....that's right!....you are embraced by professionals that gave you asva main goal on your road to recovery....once meeting all that were to be my team, i had no more regrets and buckled down to what their mission is.....Me helping them to help me be at my best improving the quality of my life!!!..from maintenance staff to dietary to nurses to CNA' s to physical therapists to administrative officials...i finally realized how i did not have the right to give it my all!!! And thats exactly what i did....i was given the tools it takes to become a better, healthier, stronger me......it's been some time for me to express this only because i was being taught anew the importance of including me in such a life changing procedure....never a day passed where the director stopped in with words and actions of encouragement. ..yes,anxious to return to my home, i left Crypress Gardens with so much more than just learning my responsibility..i learned first hand there are convalescence facilities that truly met my needs...so, if your family is seeking rehab after surgery to a new living situation, check them out first....you indeed may not look further....i embrace Crypress Gardens with the utmost respect and thank everyone there for returning the best of me spiritually and physically. ....

Facility was extremely busy and seemed to be short staffed. That is, the staff we saw were extremely short of time. Our loved one had to wait a considerable time between a request being made and that request being fulfilled. The staff who spent time with him were friendly, and seemed to be as efficient as they could be within the time constraints they had on them. The facility seemed to be reasonably clean, the food seemed to be plentiful, but they were unable to provide eating assistance. Unfortunately our relative was suffering from confusion and as he kept seeing different members of staff, it was difficult for him to remember where he was. He was unable to gain familiarity with any one person. However, that was not the fault of the staff. Our relative was only there for a short time, and they did their best in the time he was with them. However, unfortunately he had to return to hospital after a fall.
