Glen Oaks Health and Rehabilitation Center was a good facility. They have a lot of medical staff and nurses. The director was very helpful, very kind, and went above and beyond. They have a hair salon and a therapy room. They have their own doctor that comes in. There are alarms so that the residents don’t try to leave the facility. They’re more sophisticated than others because it’s a skilled nursing facility. It’s a safe place. They work with each person individually as opposed to being in a class depending on their needs. The dining room was good, and they had some pretty good food choices. They have generators in case of a hurricane. It was clean and well maintained.

My mother was here for rehab for 2 weeks. She had a few kind nurses and techs (Tonya and CJ stood out) but for the most part her experience was terrible. She was not given the level of care we expected for rehab. Late medicine schedule, poor bathing (Only 3 times in 2 weeks), never offered to help her brush her teeth, didn’t empty catheter all the time. She took off her oxygen for 5 days before anyone noticed! It sometimes took a long time for nurses to answer a call button. The food was very subpar and offered very little to no fresh fruits and vegetables. All of this was brought to the administration’s attention but service didn’t improve.

My mother is in Palm Garden of Clearwater right now. It looks like she will be staying there permanently, and she seems to be enjoying it. She has a pretty high level of dementia, but from what she is telling us, she enjoys the staff, and they treat her well. As far as we’re concerned, we’ve been treated very fairly by the staff and very nicely. We’re getting daily updates by phone. We have not been able to go inside the building because of COVID, but we have done several window visits. The floors are nice and clean, and the room she is in looks clean, neat, and cared for. From what we can see in the hallways and even at the front door where we dropped things off for her, everything looked very nice and clean.

If I were choosing a facility today I would want to know that this facility is not right for your loved one. My mom was placed here out of the hospital for short term rehab to strengthen her legs. We were there during the pandemic so there were no activities for the patients. The facility is nice looking. The care however is not good. I would be interested to know if the doctor ever actually sees the patients. The night staff is terrible. My mother and her roommate would often be left laying in urine waiting for an aide to help them to the bathroom. They were not supposed to get out of bed but would ring the call bell over and over to be ignored until the aides got around to it. At one point the nurse (aide) took the call bell away from my mom so she could not use it. They moved her to another wing and it seemed to get a little better. At least she had a call bell there. At 4:30 am I got a call from my mom. Gasping and frightened she told me that she could not breathe and needed help. She had been ringing her call bell and no one would come. I kept her on my home phone and used my cell phone to call the desk. After three tries someone answered and told me she would check. I waited until I was sure she was in the room. Later that morning my mom was moved to the hospital, went into intensive care and died 6 days later. She had developed "light pneumonia" based on an x ray done at Belleair and read by their doctor. Despite years of asthma, they shoved her on an antibiotic and cough meds and didn’t think a hospital trip was necessary. The issue with the night staff was inexcusable. They are paid to care for the patients.. When a call bell goes off shouldn’t they be required to check on their fragile patients? Hindsight is 20/20 and I wish that I had chosen a different facility or moved my mom when we realized that she was being ignored. She and I both thought that it was a short stay and she would be out in a week of so. If I did it again, I would bring her home and have rehab done there or chosen another place. I honestly believe she would still be here with me if I had.

I broke my left leg on February 12. I had emergency surgery, and then I was transferred to Kensington Gardens Rehab for my healing process for my broken leg. We have a new administrator for the last three or four weeks. Things are getting much more professional. They were not very professional when I first arrived here in February. There was a lot of temporary help that came and went. They seemed to have their own interest. That has changed now in the last three weeks. The food has improved. The whole management of business of this place has improved since this new administrator arrived. It gets better all the time. They were keeping the place pretty clean before, but now the attitude about keeping it clean has improved. There is bingo three times a week. There is an activities director, who is very responsive if people want to do things like coloring and crossword puzzles. There is a smoking patio, which I don’t go to. I only look at from a distance because I’m not a smoker. There’s definitely an improvement in the overall attitude and how the place feels in terms of friendliness. There’s still a few staff who are crusty and rough around the edges. There also a few staff who left. It is an older building that’s been under other management through the years. So it is what it is, but it’s quite well laid out in my opinion. They have a wing where any new people go for two weeks for covid quarantine before they are placed in any other part of the building. They are very Covid conscious. All the staff have been vaccinated.

I wouldn’t send anyone there. Personally, I would rather die at home than ever be sent there. No, my husband wasn’t in the best condition. He couldn’t hold the zoom camera because of his condition, so a very nice lady from activities came in every day at 11 (soon it became all days but Sunday) Me and my husband chatted for about 20 or 30 mins. He was doing great on Sat. Last thing I saw was his smile that day. Monday at 11:00 we connected, He wasn’t awake so I said to her to wake him. He was delirious. IT WAS 11:00!!!, and nobody noticed he was delirious!! It wasn’t until 2 in the morn they called me and said he was being taken to the hospital. He ended up dying. If not for the lack of observation he could have made it I think. I mean 15 hrs later he was then taken to the hospital and at 11 in the morning nobody had noticed a thing. Really? There are maybe a few good CNA’s there but far and in between. Most of the good ones I met left from there. Some of them like to hang out in the hallway to the gazebo to play on their phones instead of caring for patients or the ones yelling out help me. I was there every day practically unless I was sick, for three years and a half. So I knew who was a good worker and who wasn’t. He kept shaking his head no no no no and trying to tell me something on Monday. The last time I saw him was the one time they gave me at the hospital with a ventilator on. (He had pneumonia) and then he couldn’t speak. So make this your last resort for a long time stay for a loved one or yourself. He had a sore on his butt that had been there for months, The ER nurse at the hospital said it stunk. I have pictures of his feet that were awful. He had sepsis as well.

My husband is at Tierra Pines Center. It’s very good. The staff seems pretty good. I haven’t been there personally, since he had been there since the pandemic. I’ve seen his room on the phone when I call him, and it looks pretty good, clean, and painted, and it has a lot of light and a window. I think he’s eating all the time because he has not lost weight, but I haven’t seen how the food is. He has Alzheimer’s. They have a care-plan meeting that you can request ahead of time, and they all get together for a conference call with you. The only thing I have to complain about is the phone system is awful. It’s very hard to get a hold of the patient, because either it’s a very old system, or they don’t have a phone where the nurses are in the locked unit. Other than that, I don’t have any problems. The facility looks good, but I haven’t been inside the place. They provide medical doctors. There haven’t been any issues. It’s a very good place. I think my husband feels comfortable. I know the nurses are busy. I think nobody there is picking up the phone like they should because they’re all doing something else — they were occupied and busy. From the beginning, they have been taking care of him and if something happens, they will call me. The other day, he needed a change of medication because he was getting a little bit agitated. He has Medicaid, and they haven’t asked me for anything.

My husband is at Tierra Pines Center. It’s very good. The staff seems pretty good. I haven’t been there personally, since he had been there since the pandemic. I’ve seen his room on the phone when I call him, and it looks pretty good, clean, and painted, and it has a lot of light and a window. I think he’s eating all the time because he has not lost weight, but I haven’t seen how the food is. He has Alzheimer’s.

My husband spent 2 weeks in this facility during June 2020. He was left complete uncovered, no top sheet, call bell dangling to the floor, door to his room completely shut so his calls for help could not be heard (he was unable to get out of bed on his own). They had to report that he had fallen out of bed overnight. (No bed alarm). He had stopped eating, partly to do with drugs?, choice? But interim nursing director said she would have meal assist for him. While I observed at window Sunday June 28 just before 6pm, he was uncovered to his chest in bed, dinner plate in front of him and no assist. He passed away Monday (probably while we were conferencing on the phone, with me suggesting again that he needed hospice). I had told them on the Friday I felt he was unsafe there and mentioned Hospice. I was told I should give it more time for the appetite stimulator to work. I am so sad that he passed under those condition. Please make sure you visit you loved ones window often no matter what facility they are in. With no visitors allowed we cannot be sure what care they are being given if they are unable to advocate for themselves.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Clearwater, Florida
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.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including 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.
