Broward Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Marc

My mother was admitted to Broward Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, and it was it was a good experience. They were very responsive on the phone, and they called for updates. At first, she was in an isolation period on her first admission for two weeks. After that, they facilitated two immediate caregivers that came in after they received a little training. Then they would come in whenever they wanted, but everybody else would have to call for an appointment. It was never really an issue, and they would seem to facilitate it. They kept the facility clean. Everything was good. They had good nursing care and good aides.

My father had rehab at Broward Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, which also serves as a long-term care facility. It's somewhat connected to the Broward General Hospital System because the doctors all confer with them as well. It was a very caring facility. The staff was very attentive. There were lots of opportunities for the patients and people staying there for entertainment and social activities. My father got excellent physical therapy while he was there. I found it to be a pretty exceptional and lively facility. The staff engaged the other patients and attendees. There were TVs throughout the place. There was a garden area in the courtyard, which had an area for smoking, and an area for people to do gardening and horticulture. They have field trips and shopping. Depending on what spectrum you are, this place has everything to offer. It's a full-time home and serves as a part-time facility for occupational therapy. The staff was delightful and attentive, they knew how to be firm with some of the patients when they needed to, but in general they were extremely caring and they went out of their way to look after my dad. They were very good. The food could use some improvement. It's an old and dated building, but it's clean and hygienic.

Beware I spent about one hour and half ringing for service. I could not get any service what so ever, all my belongings were sitting in the room scattered on the floor. I have c.o.p.d. and just got out of the hospital from open heart surgery. There was no oxygen set up ,accept a etank, they said they would have to find a oxygen machine and clean it up then bring it in. it was very warm in the room with only a fan ( a good place to raise bacteria ).I asked them to plug in my bi-pap machine that I use to help me sleep as well as to help me breath. They said in 10 minutes, hour and half later still not plugged in, they said that I only need it to sleep, they are so wrong, that machine had saved me many a time to catch my breath. At that point I decided to get out of there as quick as I can, they told me if I left that my insurance would drop me. They wanted me to sign a blank release form, no way. I had my friend pick me up and I got out of there as fast as I could. How and why do they have a license to operate, I don’t know. They should be closed up.

My dad was very sick and no one helped him to eat or anything. He caught hospital acquired pneumonia there and then insisted on discharging him saying he was not responding. Transferred him to a hospital where he died from the infection. He hospital tried and tried to save him but couldn't. Short staff, dirty sheets, terrible food. t was the beginning of the end for him.

Everyone AT the Boward Nursing and Rehab Center gave me an outstanding caring service. Very professional, sweet and compassionate. Nurses were supportive and helpful. The Physical Therapists were caring and gave me confidence to walk again. They made sure I did My Therapy everyday. Didn't have to wait to get the right attention when I needed it. I highly recommend it!

My mother had a catastrophic fall; the doctor never returned my sister and my calls to get pain medication. She cried and was in pain for two days..finally the doctor perscribed three pills for her stay. The staff lied to my mom and told her that they were waiting for the delivery of the medication. The dispenceray is there on site! My mother received one pill and they did something else with the other two. They tell the patients anything not to take care of them.........then when released they do not visit as promised.

Do Not Put Your Loved One In This Place. My dad went into the NH in Sept 2014 he only lived 13 days He developed pneumonia from an intestinal perforation they caused from blood thinner injections in the abdomen. I questioned the nurses for 4 days about him swelling and having difficulty breathing On the day he passed away I asked for an ambulance to be called for 2 hours I finally have the nurse an ultimatum you call now or I will When my dad was transported to the hospital he was found to have pnuemonia and intentional perforation which he did not have when he was transferred from the hospital to the unsung home 13 days before He lived about 6 and half hours at the hospital then passed away due to their negligence

When my husband had to be admitted to Rehab and then Long time care, I researched and visited several Nursing Homes within a 25 mile radius and found that Broward Nursing & Rehab Center had the cleanest and most professional caring staff for my husband. Although it is 25 miles from our home in Coral Springs, I chose Broward Nursing and Rehab rather than choosing one closer and more convenient to our home. My husband owned Nursing Homes up in Connecticut and he always told me what to look for in a good Nursing Home. Does it smell when you go inside? What does the menu look like and be sure to check the kitchen and refrigerator out. What kind of activities do they have? Is the staff (Receptionist, CNA's, Nurses, social workers caring and friendly? Are they interested in the residents? When you show up unexpectedly, is the care the same as your normal Saturday and Sunday visits? Are they observant and notice when a resident may need medical attention or medicine adjusted? After almost three years, the answer to all the above is "yes!" My husband and I both have adjusted and I do get to bring him home two or three times a month via TOPS vans who transport my husband in his wheelchair to and from the Nursing Home. It has been an adjustment neither of us ever expected to go through and we are grateful Broward Nursing and Rehab are a caring home and unlike a lot of Nursing Homes I have seen.
