Nursing Home Communities in Fort Lauderdale, FL

"My father was placed in Heartland which is a skilled nursing facility in Lauderhill, Florida. My father has Alzheimers and requires a high level of care. The staff at Heartland has made a home for my father and each member treats him with the highest level of care. He is content and happy because of the staff's commitment to each patient. Our family cannot praise the staff enough for their hard work and commitment. "

"I want to compliment Julie who is the social director at Life Care of Inverrary. She is great. She is so up and positive and that rubs off on all the residents/patients. My mother has been at this facility for 3+ years and Julie had made her days so much better. She is always happy,always smiling and joyful. Life Care of Inverrary is extremely lucky to have her there. She really deserves to be recognized for a job done with excellence. Thank you Julie from the Short family."

"Spent six weeks in this facility. All staff,medical, nursing and therapy were very professional and caring. Could not give them a higher rating. The facility was clean and attractive and the food was tasty. "

"My wife is currently at The Savoy at Fort Lauderdale Rehabilitation & Nursing Center. Sometimes it's very good, and sometimes I just don't know what was going on. It doesn't seem to have enough staff sometimes, but they're all very pleasant. I know they do have activities, but my wife just gets down to the gym to do some physical therapy, and that's all she's been doing."

"My experience at Broward Nursing & Rehab was terrifying at first before arriving here because of the bad reviews I heard. However, once I arrived I was immediately greeted and reassured that I’m in great hands and not to be scared. I felt the warmth and love from the staff. They have accommodated all my needs and have been extremely helpful and committed to my well being. Nurse Paulette, Bell and CNA Brown are sincerely the best. They are so caring and efficient in assisting great care. I had a few episodes that were frightening where I felt like I couldn’t breath and there they were attentive to my needs immediately. I didn’t feel neglected. Also, Dr. Cadogan, who always makes sure she explains my prognosis in depth and provides the best care for me is incredible. I have achieved my purpose and made tremendous progress in walking again since 2009. The rehab department is exceptional, especially Bankroft who went to the extent to deliver my walker to my home, I had forgot at the facility during my first stay. I am greatly appreciative of everything that has been done for me. I would highly recommend this facility. In closing, For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love.. Thank you, Brenda"

"Visiting my sister in a nursing home was the hardest thing I thought I would ever have to do. My sister is ten years younger than me, so when she got cancer it was a complete shock. She lives in Florida and I am unable to take care of her during her last days. So we found this wonderful facility. Every time I go to visit her she is always smiling no matter what she is going through. She speaks of the staff like they are her children and I know they are taking care of her every need. She is in the last stages of the cancer, so the staff makes sure she is comfortable and in the least amount of pain. I feel that when she does finally succumb to the cancer she will have lived out her final days in a great place with a great staff and for that I will always be grateful. "

" The kitchen staff is excellent and I highly recommend them because the food is very good. They also go out of there way to help you with your special needs. The rehab staff is very good and extremely helpful. They have good activities and they have live entertainment. “I enjoy the music very much.” There religious services are good and “I enjoy them greatly.” They have many different services for many different religions. *that’s a plus +* They also have good outpatient services specialized for the individual. I’m on the younger side and I was in for rehab many years ago and now that I’m a permanent resident living here I’m thankful I just got to live here right now I’m living in a private room. They have *therapy dogs come in on Tuesday’s* they also have *two budgies (parakeets) and you can bring in your pets to visit* “But I wish I could have my own Pets live here but I understand why” There hospice services are good. But over all it’s good I tried to get into other places before I knew about Manercare no one would except me because of my age But Manercare did and I’m glad because the rehab was the main reason I was here before. I live here now because I need Around The clock nursing because of my condition which is very rare. Thank You! "

"They seem to take pretty good care of the residents but if your loved one needs special care you must hire a private aide, which of course really can add up quickly. I think when my parents joined at JKV, they believed that the care was more comprehensive than it actually is. The people who work there are all very professional and nice, but sometimes it feels like they are paying us lip-service more than being genuine. Sometimes I wish I could be a fly on the wall to see how they really interact with the residents when their relatives are not there. "

"My parents have friends that live here at John Knox Village. So we decided to take my mother here for rehab after she broke her hip. The place is very nice, and because it's John Knox their nurses and nurse assistants ratios are almost double the state requirement. That's really what sold us. My mother was here for 12 days, They gave her over two hours of therapy per day. My mother was treated at the "old" nursing home, and they open a brand new building with all private rooms next month. But even in the older building, the rehab and nursing care was amazing! "

"The only reason I don't give 5 stars is the lack of communication among the staff and very bad misunderstandings with two of the nurses. Nurse Helen is fabulous the few times she attended me. The rooms are beautiful with private bathroom and shower. The food is very good, nice and hot. I would return if future rehab is needed, but would request a better interview for medication needs. "

"We chose West Broward Care Center because we knew who the administrator was and we wanted to try it out and we knew that it was highly recommended. It was a very good experience. Everybody was very, very helpful. The nurses were on top of things. They knew what they were doing. They?re all very capable there. It was very clean. The rooms were not bad. The one that he was in there were two people in the room. Nice bathrooms, very nice. "

"My wife was in Heartland for rehab. It was a very nice facility with nice people working there. She's been there before and she's comfortable there. They have activities like bingo, cards and physical therapy. They could improve on the quality of the food and a quicker response to the needs of the patients. "

"My mom has been in NSPIRE Healthcare Tamarac for almost two years now. It's a good facility and my daughter visits there quite often. The layout is also good, but we really can't go in there much now because of COVID. She only meets us downstairs, but it's clean and accessible. The staff is attentive, friendly, courteous, and helpful. They just need to have more interaction and therapy for the residents."

"My dad was at Seaview Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, but I was moving him to another facility. It was OK, but sometimes the nurses don't do what they were supposed to do. I could see a lot of nurses just standing around, and I could see the patient needing something and trying to alert them, but they were talking among themselves. I was calling to check on my dad because he lost his phone, and every station that I called had me on hold for a long time, they transferred me to this person, and that person was supposed to go get my dad. All in all, everybody was nice to him. The people were nice, and it's family oriented. They made him happy. They liked him, and he had his own room. The cleanliness was good. They kept it clean, and I had no complaint about that. "
