Nursing Home Communities in Bradenton, FL

"My great aunt has been living here for the past two years and she really likes it there. I visit about two times per month. I bring my toddlers along with me and and it is not a problem. The staff is friendly and upbeat each time that I have been there. They have fairly open visiting hours (I don't remember them exactly, but I have never been refused seeing her and when she has been late getting back from family functions and events outside of the facility there is also not a problem upon her return). The rooms and public areas are decorated very nicely and the food service seems to be good there. The facility always smells nice and residents seem to be happy and have a good relationship with the staff. There are also courtyards and common areas for residents to mingle and spend time with each other or alone outside of their rooms. The staff is also quick to respond when the resident uses the call button. They also alert family/guardians to any changes and/or medical events that are minor or severe in a timely manner. The only two suggestions that I would have is to tighten security a little more. I think that it may be completely possible for someone to steal from the resident's rooms. However, the best security is also mostly undetected. I can't remember seeing cameras or security staff. The only other suggestion is to improve the exterior grounds and parking lot. The outside of the building needs some maintenance and the foliage could use some trimming to make it seem like a happier place and match the inside more. "

"Westminster is right at the top of my list. It's a luxurious facility with views of the Bradenton River that are drop-dead beautiful. It is gorgeous. The view is really the seller. The food at the brunch was excellent. It's a huge complex and they had two pages of things to do for physical activities and movies. The rooms had big picture windows looking out on the bay. The one-bedroom unit didn't have an oven which is kind odd but they had a two burner stovetop and a refrigerator. They also had plenty of closets."

"I received Rrhab there.. All staff expect nice and most went out of there way to get me back on the road to recovery.. Can't say enough good things "

"I had to send my grandmother here for short term rehab and the nurses really helped us out a lot with making sure she worked well the physical and occupational therapists. "

"I don't know what place Brianna is talking about but it certainly isn't Surrey Place in Bradenton, FL. I have lived most of my life in Bradenton and I have inspected Surrey Place a couple times for my Mother. It is a lovely facility in a very safe area of WEST Bradenton and has a good reputation among the medical community. I am sure Brianna has Surrey Place confused with another assisted living/nursing facility. Whoever is responsible for this website needs to check the comments more often. "

"Heritage Park is a nice rehab facility. It's smaller and it's basically designed more for people that are going to be in there for a period of time to either rehab or for hospice care. It's a great place for people needing those care, but the pricing there was way more than I can afford. We were in there when my wife had some physical problems for a rehab and Medicare paid for it, but if we have to pay for it ourselves, I wouldn't look at that place. It was just too expensive. Food was fair too. However, I thought that the staff was extremely good. They were really concerned and did an excellent job with my wife. Her improvement was important to them than anything. They would keep you in the loop and we had meetings with them regarding my wife. It was just fantastic. "

"The staff is amazing. Each team communicates with the ther - speech, nutrition, dietary, etc- all work together. They call me on a regular basis to keep me informed on my friend's progress or set- backs. I am very pleased with this facility. The rooms are your typical residential facility rooms. The place always seems clean and smells good. "

"Bradenton Health Care is beautiful. It's separated into different units for Alzheiner's or dementia patients, but my dad was placed in the long-term care facility. It was fine. The staff was very good and very attentive to him, and the food was good. It was a nice facility. He was supposed to go to physical therapy. They also have some crafts."

"My husband has been in the Life Care Center of Sarasota. It's like a little hospital, and I guess that you have long-term care there, but we're only on the nursing area side. The nurses seem very attentive and some of the aides are lovely. I've heard other doctors say you get good care there, and there's a physician's assistant that comes and sees a patient every day. There's a doctor and a physician's assistant. It's fairly clean. The staff is very attentive, and they're very kind. Sometimes the food is really good, and sometimes it's institutional food. I noticed they do have bingo, and they have outside areas where people can go. They have ice cream every afternoon. They try to make it as pleasant as they can, but I think COVID has impacted what they do right now."

"The amenities here are wonderful. There is available transportation during all days of the week to surrounding activities and attractions. While my grandfather was recovering here, he was able to watch cable on the television in his room and also had internet so he did not get so bored. They offer all kinds of therapy here so there are residents who are recovering from all sorts of surgeries/accidents and there are also just residents who have settled down there. Every resident is extremely welcoming and kind. My grandfather loved the food here, they had a wide variety of choices, and if you didn't want to, you didn't have to eat at the exact same time every day for each meal. I was also glad that he had transportation to activities provided by the facility so that I did not have to take him places but he could still get out and do fun things. The staff is very friendly and I felt extremely assured that he was getting the best care possible. He recovered quickly and still keeps in touch with his friends. "

"The staff was really nice at Crossbreeze Care Center. When I went in there, I talked to the director and asked questions, and they explained everything. But the facility needs to be updated. "

"We toured Sarasota Bay Club, and it was wonderful. However, it was too much money for me. The staff was good, everything was perfect, and I've eaten there several times. The food was extraordinary."

"The Pines was clean, and they have friendly people and staff. It was a nice place. The rooms were not really big but adequately sized. I saw people sitting and eating. The dining area and food looked appealing, but we didn’t stay long. "

"As a family member living out of state, I can confidently share that the Hawthorne Center for Rehab is clean and aesthetically pleasing, with plenty of hard working staff who connect with their patients. My mom called Hawthorne her home for 3 1/2 years and I knew she was receiving the best care."
