"My mother was a resident at Hawthorne Skilled care for 2 months before she passed away. Her care was beyond wonderful. All the staff, from housekeeping to laundry to front desk was kind and efficient. If we had questions, they would leave their current post and find the answer. The Aides and LPNs and RNs were also the best. The administrator stopped by regularly to see how my father was doing. This is the 3rd facility my mom was in during past 9 months, and is by far the best. I would highly recommend this place. Hospice was conveniently located within facility and they could have been more attentive but otherwise no complaints. "

"My brother (in his 50's) was there pre-COVID for rehab on his knee surgery. He was initially disappointed as he's not a fan of older buildings, but he loved it! A private room, lovely, caring staff. He thought the PT was very good. His only complaint was that he wanted bigger portions of food. I told him that there was a sign in the dining room offering a variety of sandwiches, which he didn't know about. He did enjoy sitting on the porch when friends came to visit. Overall, a good experience, considering why he was there."

"My mother was diagnosed with a terminal and very aggressive cancer just a few weeks ago, she was given at most two months to live. This is shocking and very emotional news to take in but you are not given time to take it in. Once she chose to not treat we were almost immediately given the boot from the hospital and told to find a place for her to go to die. Ybor City was within walking distance of my home and so it was tops on my list for her to go there, site unseen, I put her in there. I am not going to lie, when I walked in with my sisters we did NOT fall in love with the place, it's not where you want to put your parent to die. But what place is? A good friend of ours said "if your mom is comfortable and safe, she will not see what you see". We kept mom there and comfortable and safe is just the beginning of what we got from this home. EVERY SINGLE person that worked in this home loved on my mom and my sister and me. They hugged us, shared stories with us, advocated for my mom, her medicines were never missed, she was cared for in ways hospice cares for your loved ones. Within one week I had met every person that worked there, cafeteria staff, maintenance... and so on. They all are a big community. Most of the staff have been there for almost 20 years or more! That says a lot. I cannot say enough good things about this place. My mom only lived another week and I am so happy that is where she passed. It might not be glamorous but the love is limitless. "

"I was cared for here in August/September,2021 after being treated for Covid in the hospital. I could not have asked for more attentive nurses, aides, techs and therapists. I was so sick the first few days I wasn't aware of much but did realize soon that all of the patient care workers were a close team even though a few were there for the first time. They worked efficiently together and were so kind and caring. It was during one of the Covid spikes so there were fill ins because of increased full beds. My room was kept very clean, my bed changed daily, bathroom cleaned daily. There is a dining room where patients can visit together and there is an outside patio to enjoy the fresh air. I had no complaints about any of the caregivers and the food was above average for any institution. Every afternoon a refreshment cart came by with juices, hot chocolate and other things. I remarked that I really like the sugar free lemonade and the nice lady would bring me a cup without my having to ask. It was nice to be remembered since I was not remembering much. I would go here again if needed and would be very comfortable having a family member there. I can't thank them enough for the care I got when I had low blood sugars in my sleep and being able to help decide what to do to mitigate them. All in all, if I had to not be home, this was a great place even if the reason for being there was not. "

"My mom moved to Canterbury Tower Tampa. It's well-staffed and very clean, which I can't say for a few places we have dealt with. So, it's a step up and it's well established, and I just have a good feeling about it. She does physical therapy, but she's not in the main population. She's in the medical wing. The staff was very nice and very attentive. They don't want family members in the dining room, but when I come up, she'll eat in her room if she chooses. She likes the food. She's currently in a two-person room, and it's not full, so she's only had a roommate for a couple of days. She has a window view, and it's clean and comfortable. She is currently waiting in a single room to come up. They have an activity schedule every day. My mom loves reading, so there is a library system where girls come around with books. She builds puzzles, and she reads a lot. She has her own TV. If she wants her nails done, they'll do her nails. It's very attentive."

"No one wants to leave their loved one in the care of others but sometimes it can't be helped, and care is best left to professionals. When my Dad needed extra help the staff here went out of their way to stay in touch with us and determine a good plan for him. I am deeply indebted to everyone there, especially the Nurse Manager, Kathryn. She has been exceptional in her personal involvement with me and my family.. I don't know how we would have navigated it without her. Bless her, she treated my Dad just like she would have her own."

"My father was in rehab at John Knox. This facility was a combination of rehab and a living facility. It was a very good facility though. At first, my father was not crazy about having to share a room there, but the room was very clean. They were very attentive to him. They had a comment sheet and when he left, he gave everyone an A+. The food was good. They actually had a dining hall. I would go up there on Sunday and have a brunch with him. The food was wonderful. It was really good. The staff was very good and excellent. My dad really had a great time there. They really helped him come along. They were very helpful. They recognized some cognitive things that have happened to him, and my dad really flourished when he was there. I went into the physical therapy with him. That was also very good. I know that they had all kind of things offered, but he wasn't into them. "

"Heidi is amazing. She has helped me move my Uncle from a sister facility , which was awful. She followed up on every single phone call. If she didn't know something she found out the correct answer instead of just guessing. She called after hours to make sure my family was ok. She is a definite asset to this facility. She pays attention to detail. When arriving after hours, they immediately took my uncle. Fed him Cleaned him. Taught him how to use phone. The NURSE m Manager, Receptionist all were amazing. Facility was clean. Gardens well kept. I was given a tour and explained what to expect. I was able to walk out of there knowing My uncle was going to be well taken care of. I can finally have a good night sleep! Heidi made it happen and I could have not done it without her. THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊🌺🌺"

"My Mother needed to go to to a rehab facility during the Covid-19 pandemic. We were not able to visit any facilities to make sure we would place her in a safe, caring place. I spoke with Donna in admissions. Donna answered all of my questions and explained what the facility was doing to keep it's patients safe. I am a Nurse and I'm very particular about the care of my family. I am very happy with the care my Mother is receiving. She is doing well and getting stronger every day. My Mother feels safe and cared for at this facility. Donna and the staff assisted my Mom to her window so that we could wave to her from the outside and talk via her cellphone. 💜💜"

"My mom is staying at Bayshore Pointe Nursing and Rehab Center. The staff is very caring, and the facility is very clean. I'm pleased with the security, which some people don't like, but they have glass doors. When you walk in and stand in front of the glass doors, the receptionist has to let you in and out. I think that's great. To get on the elevator, you need a code. They make sure my mom is not in her room all the time. She goes to the dining room to eat, which at first, she was not happy with, but now I think she's making friends. The rehab and physical therapy are good. They have a day room where they have a TV. They take very good care of her. She is clean. I had no problems with cleanliness at all. Mom likes the food. Their staff is very caring and very professional. It's an older facility, but it's very clean. It has three levels. It's not brand new. She's still covered under Medicare; she hasn't used up her 100 days. Last year, she was at a different location that was so loud, and the staff would yell and kid around. This place is quiet."

"My mother,92 and cognizant, has been @ Habana since 2016. I rarely have complaints b/c I have things dealt with immediately b/c I visit 2-3 times a week @different times. I also bring in goodies for the staff. That may sound like bribery, but it really is b/c I understand they are not paid well, it’s not an easy job, and deserve recognition. I have had issues like a cna not showing compassion. I immediately calmly spoke with her and explained my mother’s need. It changed her behavior. I found her clothes were not taken good care of, so I do her laundry myself. I have no problem having things fixed by maintenance when needed. In other words, patience, understanding and kindness go a long way to making my mother’s time there relatively good. I will say that during COVID things have not been great and I can’t get in to make things right, but when my mother tells me something, I call and it’s remedied. I’m sure their jobs became even more difficult and frightening with COVID. Lastly, I will say that the night staff is less diligent in my view. Why? I don’t know. There job is just a bit less hectic. Oh, and the food is probably the least likable aspect. It really needs to improve. "

"My mom was in Accentia for a period of time in rehab because she fell and broke her ribs. She’s back home now. Accentia worked with us well and everything seemed to be in good order. Of course, my mom had to be in the locked down section because she was trying to escape and all. However, everything went well for her there. Accentia was well staffed. They had lots of people. It was clean and it looked like it was regulated well. The staff was great, considering what they had to put up with and the nature of the business, I thought they did quite well. They had activities like karaoke and rehab of course. They had a gym and a hair salon. They could put money into their account so they could go spent it there. They had dances and all kinds of activities. My mom complained a little about the food because she was used to home cooking. But from what I saw, the food looked okay. "

"My mom moved to Solaris HealthCare Plant City. She's in a room with another lady. My mother is very elderly. They've been taking very good care of her. They've been right there whenever she needs them. The lady in the room with her, also kind of looks out for her because sometimes she doesn't think to call the nurse when she needs them, and the lady next to her calls for her, but they always come because they know that she's elderly. They try to accommodate her as much as they can. She said they've been very good with her. They do have Baptist services which she likes, and also Catholic. They had a big group singing and they had music going on. It looked like they were all having a great time."

"Gandy Crossing Care Center was a very nice facility. It was very clean. The staff appeared very friendly. It felt very spacious. It wasn't like little dark corridors kind of thing, like you sometimes see in nursing homes. Their rehab area was very nice and very modern. They had what looked like good equipment in there. I was very pleased with it. You walk in the front door and everything is kind of centrally located, the rehab and the dining room and stuff like that. They had a nice area outside where you could go and sit. It seemed very convenient to the rooms and stuff. The staff were helping everybody. It was busy when I was there, but it was OK."

Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
Fees for senior care types generally reflect the costs of the provider and the level of support provided, but not always. In Brandon, assisted living, which provides accommodation and limited care, costs an average of $3,225. This is significantly less than home care’s average fees of $4,195 and home health care’s $4,576. Adult day care is the least costly at $1,993, while nursing homes charge the highest fees, typically in the region of $9,946 for a semiprivate room and another $1,445 per month for a private one.
