Nursing Home Communities in Destin, FL

"The facilities were very nice. They had different wings for the patients and the same nurses tended to work the same wings, so we became friends with the nursing staff as we also visited my grandmother. She was well taken care of and I could tell the staff was genuinely happy to be there and to help the patients. The food was well done and healthy and tasty. We were encouraged to come eat with my grandmother and they had meals and events at holidays that were well decorated. The facilites were not only pretty, but very clean. I never saw any dirt or anything that wasn't well taken care of. And they had a beautiful courtyard that allowed us to go on walks with my grandmother when the weather was nice. And they had outdoor furniture that allowed us to sit in the sun and talk. The game room had fun, easy game that my 3 y.o. daughter could play with my grandmother together. And I really liked the security. The doors couldn't be opened from the inside without a door code. And the doors were in sight of all the nurses stations. "

"Best facility in the area and I researched and visited all the others! Friendly, helpful staff and husband is well cared for. Choose the best for your loved one and you will be so happy that you did! My husband is happy there and that takes a huge burden off of my heart."

"This facility is excellant, the staff is incredibly caring and competent. It might not be new but the care is amazing"

"My grandfather was at Fort Walton Rehabilitation Center. I like their staff a lot better than the other place he was in. They were a lot better with communicating with me about what was going on with my grandpa. I can get right through to the nursing station. It was great. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I don't have any complaints at all. The facility was nice and clean."

"My husband is at Silvercrest Health And Rehabilitation Center. I certainly would recommend that place to anybody. It's a rehab and nursing facility. He has been there going on three weeks now. I like that it is very clean and extremely well staffed. They're just so nice with the patients. The staff is absolutely great. I'm there every day because he can't eat by himself. They feed him breakfast and lunch, and I'm usually there to give him supper. He has to have puréed food. He can't have regular food, but it's very tasty and very good. I usually taste it before I give it to him -- I'm just curious as to what it tastes like -- and it really tastes very good. As far as I know, they have games like bingo, and they have a minister come in once a week to talk to the people. I don't know much about their activities because my husband can't participate in any of them. It's expensive, and I have to pay the whole thing out of pocket. They have been very helpful, however, because at first my husband would have episodes where he got very angry and really very violent, but they solved that problem with medication, so he's going to stay there."

"Very nice, friendly, caring staff. I was a skeptical when Mom went there, but after a few weeks, I was sold. Now I'm waiting for an opening for Mom to be admitted for long-term care, but, unfortunately, they rarely have beds open. Shoal Creek Rocks "
