My husband is in Manor Pines for rehab. The nurses are really, really good. The place is clean, and they are very attentive. I think he’s in good hands there. It’s very conservative and traditional. It’s an old facility, but they keep it up nice. The most important thing is the staff. They have an events calendar. Every day there is something they can do if they want to, but it also depends on how mobile they are. They do take your temperature. When you come in, you have to sign in. You have to give a report on where you have been. They take it very seriously.

My mother was admitted to Broward Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, and it was it was a good experience. They were very responsive on the phone, and they called for updates. At first, she was in an isolation period on her first admission for two weeks. After that, they facilitated two immediate caregivers that came in after they received a little training. Then they would come in whenever they wanted, but everybody else would have to call for an appointment. It was never really an issue, and they would seem to facilitate it. They kept the facility clean. Everything was good. They had good nursing care and good aides.

Food is terrible
Nurses admistering meds have 3 inch long nails. God only know what lurks under them. Not very hygienic. They take forever to come when you ring. If you aren’t there as a family member your lives one will go without being bathed.
Worst of all , they discharged my mother and had the equipment needed for home mistakenly delivered to them. They promised to deliver to me. That was Thursday , we are Monday today and still nothing. My mother hasn’t had a walker/ commode ( so I can’t shower her) and no wheel chair. This is disgraceful. Social worker has stopped returning my calls. Nobody knows where this equipment is that her insurance paid for.
Terrible facility.

The Covenant Living was a really nice place. It was very restrictive because of this COVID stuff, and they only allowed me to schedule a visit by email, and then they would take us and bring my friend to me. I could not go into the facility based on the rules, but from what I saw of it and the staff that I know, I was very, very well impressed. The place was relatively new and very clean, and the staff was very professional.
I did not get to tour the facility other than the one area where I would meet with my friend for an hour or so. The surroundings were nice. It’s in a middle class neighborhood and a lot of retirees live in that area. They took care of her, they gave her nursing care, and they even had a staff doctor there. She did not have any complaints, and she said that they were taking care of her well. I also asked her about the food, and she said it was OK.

My dad is in the Memorial Rehabilitation Institute at Memorial Regional Hospital South for rehab. Right now, the visits are being controlled because of the high cases of COVID and all that, but so far what we’ve seen is that everyone has been just really on top of him and making all the measures. The nurses that I’ve met have been really nice, and they’re trying to make him as active as possible. They’re very caring and the fact that he doesn’t fully understand English, they try their best to allocate him with the nurse that is the right fit for him and they’re very patient. They usually always put him with a bilingual nurse, that way they can communicate and so he feels comfortable. One of the therapy they give my dad is a musical therapy where they’re trying to make him do some steps on his own, and one of the nurses actually had a guitar and started singing them the song to kind of go with the rhythm of it. I’ve never seen that before, so I thought that was nice.

Heartland seems like a nice facility but it’s basically Alzheimer’s unit. I steered away from those types of nursing homes because it would probably put fear in my parents and make them feel like they’re in a crazy home. Their residents were very aggressive and very loud. It had kind of an eerie feeling when we walked in there. Unless your parents are in a stage where they are very aggressive and would need a lockdown facility, this would be the facility for them.

My sister has been there for several months and it seems all your staff know her and all the others’ needs: I.e. which foods are preferred and best for their individual needs, what programs they enjoy (movies, games, sing-alongs, outings, etc)… free manicures and inexpensive hair salon. The variety and the joyful attitudes are truly wonderful. Of course, the residents need every type of medical, physical and emotional care, so someone may walk in and feel uncomfortable at first, as did I. But the care is truly amazing. Thank you!

We get together with everybody, and they are very helpful. They are very good, and so far she has been great. They are hands-on so they keep me in the loop, and that is what I want. The food is not great. That would be the one thing that I would say that is kind of important when somebody is spending their last days. I am kind of bummed about that, but everything else is pretty good. If you want to pray, I like the fact that they have a chapel downstairs. They have nuns and a bishop that comes around, so I like that as well.

My husband was at The Woodlands at John Knox Village for short-term rehab. He was there under more stringent COVID conditions. I couldn’t even see him for two weeks, and he was kept in his room the whole time. He was taken out for meals, but he ate his meals by himself, and we understood all of that. He said the food was delicious, that it was extraordinary, chef prepared, and he absolutely adored it.
I never saw his room, but apparently he said it was nice, and he was pretty discerning. He had a powered chair and his own bathroom. I could visit him for an hour outside, and they had beautiful grounds.
What I did not care for about the facility was the communication. The staff simply doesn’t communicate. He was in there and I didn’t even know if he’d made the transfer successfully. I knew that he was no longer in the hospital, and I knew where he was supposed to be, but you could not get anybody to take the call, and I continued to have issues with them as far as communication. The care was good and the facility apparently was good, but I wasn’t impressed with the staff.
It’s a high-end complex. They don’t let you in unless you’ve got a picture ID, and been OKed by the facility to come in. When I needed to drop things off for my husband, I couldn’t take them to the building. I had to leave to them at the guard gate, but that would have been part of the COVID protocol as well.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Fort Lauderdale, 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.
