If my mother did not have Dementia I would take her out of this place. I can’t move her because of the Demtentia. The food is horrible they hire people that don’t know how to cook or they just don’t care it’s just a job for them. They are understaffed everyone says they will take care of the problem that you may have but that only last for a few days then the lazy CNA’S are back to being lazy again. The picture’s they show on the website are old picture’s before my mom came there. The ladies that work in the Dining room are great and are very caring. The Activity Room has a great Actvity Director she has two women DeeDee and Marie work their butts off and I think they do a great job with the residents. If you have to put a loved one in a nursing home PLEASE check on them everyday and don’t be afraid to speak up if you have any issues.

The Nurses are great but the CNA are absolutely sub par . The facility is understaffed and has caused my mom to remain in wet clothing because no one is around to take her to the bathroom. She needs to wear a sling on a daily basis but no one is trained on how to put it on. I went one day and it was around her neck like a noose. I am completely disgusted. Look elsewhere before making a decidion

This facility is disgusting. During Hurricane Irma, they were not prepared. For days families went with no contact to their loved ones in the facility because they had no emergency plan in place for the electricity.Once insurance cuts he bill for PT there is no follow up on their so called restorative care to maintain the resident as they were received. Which explains why they scored low in this quality measure with Medicare They have multiple law suits on file for wrongful death and negligence and I have witnessed first hand why . Patients are never changed, turned, toileted or ambulated . Do yourself a favor you love your family, don't place them here or expect them to die in months

Physical therapy is great, food menu is decent... but help on the floor in rooms has a lot to be desired. You press the call button and a caregiver comes in, turns it off, says she will be right back and usually doesn't return for an hour... if she even returns. And this is not just one person... they all seem to do this. I don't know if it's laziness or being understaffed, but I find it extremely unprofessional and frustrating to deal with constantly.

My mom is currently in this facility. It takes at least 30 MINUTES before anyone answers a call light. AND.- If you are sitting on the bed pan it takes another 30 minutes for someone to take you off-. The staff has a very uncaring attitude. They make her wait for pain medication- after having hip surgery. I didn't think we lived in "that era" anymore....

My husband was a resident of Margate Healthcare Center. It was a clean facility. He was in a nice room that he shared with another man. It had plenty of room for both of them. My husband was only there for 18 days. It was supposed to be a good facility and they're supposed to give him therapy in the morning and afternoon, which he didn't get. They always had an excuse, e.g., they said he didn't like it. I would go there just to make sure that that they would come and get him for his therapy. I would also make sure that he would eat. I wanted for them to give my husband once-a-week shower, but he was there already for a week and a half and they didn't do that either. You constantly had to remind them. After 18 days, they said he was not progressing, so I just took him home. I would also say that they're understaffed. They need more help in there. Food was okay. My husband would order what he wanted.

My mom has been in Margate Health Care Center for two weeks now. It was referred to us by the hospital. Our experience there is very good. The facility is very good and beautiful. It is very clean. The staff is very helpful; they're good. The food is also good. They do have activities there. My mom went to rehab everyday and then they have games, presentations, etc. She likes this place.

I feel that Margate Health Care Center is a wonderful place to reside the elderly who can no longer care for themselves. My grandfather lived there for about a year before he died. Every time my family went to visit him, that staff was friendly and helpful. They also were able to give us details on how my grandfather was doing and they truly seemed to enjoy their jobs. The facility was very clean, updated and had many amenities. Most of the residents were keep active by playing games like Shuffleboard and Bingo and if the staff did not have anything planned for that particular day, they would allow the residents to go outside to the recreation area to relax or even take a walk with a staff member. My grandfather wanted to be home with the family, so he did try to escape a time or two but the staff must have kept a close eye on him because he never made it past the emergency exit. My experience with this nursing home was great and I have recommended it to many of my friends with older or sick relatives.
