Nursing Home Communities in Brooksville, FL

"Opinion based on our experience during our days at the institution. Very profession, friendly, caring staff and administration. We were looking for and were concerned about CARE. During moms stay she was always found clean, attended and above all Care and Concern demonstrated. We had been to younger facilities and quite frankly they did not measure up. Modern is not necessarily better and this environment while an older facility was always clean. Other talked a good show but they delivered. As for food let's face it we eat what we like and institution food not always what we want or like. Bottom.line prepared well was appropriate for moms condition. We felt comfortable with her welfare while there. I hope this helps with making your most difficult situation and decision."

"It took Mom some time to get use to the fact she would be living here permanently, but now she considers her caretakers part of the family. My sister and I do too. They take such good care of our Mom. My Mom has been a resident here for a few years. I was living out of state for awhile, but visited a few months out of the year. Now I reside a few blocks away and visit very often. Every time I'm there, the staff is very kind and caring. Mom stated how much she loved being there and considered it her home. I give great credit to her caretakers, Nurses Peggy C. and Elizabeth , her CNAs Donna M and Crystal P. for making her feel at home . In activities Sarah and Angela have become great friends with Mom and make her want to get out of her room to participate in some of the activities they offer. Housekeeping and Laundry are always on top of things. Mom's room is always clean and laundry is delivered and put away for her."

"Mother just transferred to there from hospital. Since no interior rooms for easy access window visits were open, the manager worked with us to get her the best room available. The manger explained because of COVID, inside visits are extremely limited and must be scheduled ( all the other care centers I contacted explained the same limitations ). The manager told us they will work with front door window visits, so Dad can have easy access on the walkway and patio. Also the facility is trying to work through COVID for outside visits. Their facility, like all the others I contacted, was not designed with the COVID empidemic in mind. The manager called me when Mom first arrived to notify us that a that a change was required and will have it completed next day. The next day I called mom on her cell and it was completed. The nurse plugged in her cell phone charger so her cell phone isnt dead and we could call her. One of the staff met us at the door so we could drop off the head set for the cell phone so my mom could talk without holding the phone. They also witnessed and notorized paperwork needed for us on her POA. Mom did say she liked the food and the staff was very nice to her. Mom is a former nurse and was pleased on how the Rehab staff talked to her and explained things to her. My wife and I used to attend meetings there in the evenings in the past, the facility was always clean, smelled good, and food was good. Day 4 and no complaints from Mom. One thing on this facility was a third party person who worked with multiple care centers advised me that this facility has staff easy to work with, so far that is true. Bottom line Mom is happy, she would voice her concerns if not, the staff has worked with us the best they can with the COVID limitations. ...update......Mom just called while writing this review. She said food is good, staff is nice, bed is nice, acitvities director got her crossword puzzles she asked for, physical therapist is nice and helping her, no complaints. She is looking forward to seeing Dad inside on his scheduled visit. "

"My family member is current resident here since December, 2021. I cannot be more pleased and happy with the care he receives at Bear Creek. Every single person who works there, in every department there is, is a caring and trained professional. I never worry about my family member’s safety or neglect. I very highly recommend Bear Creek to anyone seeking long term care. "

"Baldomero Lopez State Veterans is wonderful to my dad. He has been there for about 2 months. It’s beautiful. The food is surprisingly very good. The staff there is very caring. There have been a few little incidents -- most of them minor -- and they call you right away to keep you informed about things that have happened even if they don’t have great consequence. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about how they render their care there."

"Very happy with my fathers care at this facility. He was very comfortable and loved the staff. His therapists were very attentive and our family was pleased with programs and staff. Located in a beautiful setting. Also love the outdoor exercise area."

"I broke my femur and stayed from Dec 11, 2024 to Dec 20th. The rooms were fine. I had the best care I could possibly ask for. I was very lucky to have 2 CNA's who happened to have to work a lot of shifts during that time. Their names are Leni and Dennis. They were compassionate and kind, and made me smile even when I wanted to feel sorry for myself. The nighttime CNA Vickie retired after being there for 30 years. She was wonderful and knew her stuff for sure. On the whole I would give the staff 5 stars. I needed rehab and there again I couldn't have asked for better care. Suzanne, Dora, Lauren, Ben, and Rickie got me on my feet and ready to go home. They work so hard to get some of these uncooperating patients to just move a little. You get 3 hot meals a day if you have a stomach for it. I didn't, so I wasn't that interested in the meals. I would definitely recommend Solaris for anyone who needs rehab."

"The facility and the staff are awesome! Very professional and attentive to the redidents. I felt really good having my mom stay at this facility and recomend it to everyone!"

"The rooms are two patients to a room and several are four patients to a room. My loved one actually likes being in the four patient room over being moved to a semi-private room. The facility is a bit on the older side, but quite functional Everything is clean and organized The staff is kind, caring, attentive, and gentle. My loved one is well cared for and the staff know her by name. The staff are up lifting and interact with each other with smiles on their faces. After observing the staff for several hours on a weekend, I found everyone to be thoughtful, kind, and respectful to the patients and that the day ended with the same smiles that the staff started out their day with. The admissions office is extremely knowledgeable and prompt in their responses. The business office is wonderful and made themselves available to answer all my family's questions. The activities director is very active with providing the patients with fun activities and also works to help each patient through their personal issues such as missing their family and how to set up video calls for the patient to have with their families in an attempt to help them to adjust to their new normal. The social service office is welcoming, supportive, caring, and willing to help in any way possible. The staff are prompt with checking the patient's vitals 24 hours a day. My loved one had a drop in their blood pressure during the night and the staff took prompt action to address the issue. Having been in multiple facilities across the country, I am most impressed by the attitude and caring hearts of the staff at Avante Inverness. That means everything to my family and I. "

"I was sent to Blue Heron after my stay in the hospital. I can't say enough good things about the staff in rehab and the medical team on the rehab floor. They are very compassionate. I have now transitioned into long term care and again can't say enough wonderful things about the team. The rooms are all private which is very nice along with it being cleaned on a daily basis, along with activities. Erik is my caseworker and has made this transition much easier always answered my questions and was extremely helpful. Definitely would recommend Blue Heron!"

"Our experience with Arbor Trail Rehab and Skilled Nursing Center was good. We liked it there. The only thing my husband didn't like was the food, which is kind of normal. He complained that he couldn't get coffee when he wanted it. Those were the only complaints that he had, which is normal. He had COVID, and that's the only place that has a COVID unit for rehab. They had activities but he wasn't able to use any of them. They had a lot of stuff going on during the day, one day they had bingo in the cafeteria. The dining room was great, from what I've seen. Some of the staff were still delivering meals to the rooms. The staff members were very friendly, very nice, and very accommodating. The place had a very friendly and clean atmosphere. In terms of value for money, it was a little expensive. My problem was they wanted $280 a day. I think any place right now is very high priced."

"My grandmother is a current resident at Osprey. I am so thankful for the loving care she receives from all of her nurses and especially Ms. Susan the Activities Director. They are extremely personable and care for all of their patients and their families. "

"Life Care in Lecanto's managers are very nice. When you go in there for the first time, they come in, talk to you, and introduce themselves; it’s wonderful. I would recommend anybody to go there. The nursing care, the cleanliness, and the thoughtfulness -- I’ve been in quite a few places in the last year-and-a-half or so for physical therapy, and I have friends who had been there and say the same thing. Physical therapy people and the nurses came yesterday, gave me a hug, and told me what a good patient I was and how they like to be with me and wish me luck. They have a little ice cream parlor like you’ve gone down in the street, and you can go and get free ice cream. It’s a very warm community. The meals were good. It offers a lot physically and psychologically with the patient. They have a big activities room, and they have a big bus that takes them to shopping or different things. They have music, dominos, and bingo. They have a sunshine lady; she comes around all the rooms. She is an old woman, but not real old at all. She comes around to make sure everything is OK. If you have any complaints, she talks to the proper people, and she came to see me before I was leaving. It’s been all updated; you can go sit and watch the birds in there. It’s really nice. "

"My mother is at Heather Hill Healthcare Center. We chose them because they had long-term care and they had what we needed. They were close to us and they seemed very accommodating. We have since found their level of service is beyond what we've ever experienced with my mother. They are excellent. She's been there for over a week. I actually haven't been inside because of COVID. I've seen the outside and they let you see your loved one from a window in their courtyard. It's just as pleasant as any other. I like the courtyard. The staff bent over backwards to service both her and her loved ones."
