Nursing Home Communities in Hialeah, FL

"My mom is at Nspire Healthcare - Miami Lakes. She is in rehab. It has been good up to now. She is fine, she is content, and she is being well taken care of. The therapy is going well. She is doing a lot stronger now than when she went in, so she's come a long. The staff is fine. The people that I have dealt with are fine. They answer my questions, and they seem to be very friendly with her. They treat her well. She's happy with it. The place is a little old. It needs a little TLC and a little more modernizing and fixing up. The furniture is old and the facilities old, but it's clean. I have not tasted any of the meals, but I've seen them. Some things are better than others, but they look good to me. I guess that depends on your preference of what you like to eat or not, but they're not bad and they don't look bad. They smell good. I haven't seen the dining area because they bring the food to her room. This is a rehab site where my mom only goes to physical therapy and then the rest of the time, she's in her room. She has been there for four weeks now. Her Medicare is taking care of everything because it's a rehab. "

"My grandmother was a resident at Heartland Nursing home in Miami Lakes, FL this past year, after being in the hospital for a few weeks prior. Heartland is in a great, safe location. There's always someone seated at the front entrance to check in guests, facility is kept clean, fully staffed, and provides everything needed for patients to be comfortable. Vending machines, kitchen where food is prepared on site, as well as 2 cafeterias, one of which is very spacious and allows for several visitors to have lunch or a small party with residents. In addition to all of this, they also have daily activities including church service, which allow patients to socialize with one another and remain as active as possible. The only complaints my grandmother had while living there was difficulty, especially at night, getting assistance from the staff in a timely manner. She also did not care for the food. But she did speak highly of the on-site doctors and also of the nurses on staff. "

"My mom is at Franco Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and she's happy there. It's a decent place. They can accommodate her to go out and get her dialysis three times a week. They have a doctor on staff, some RNs, LPNs, and nurses aides, and they have given her physical therapy. We haven't had any problems with the staff. They seem to be pretty nice. They give her a bath and stuff like that, and the place is clean. I think that we're getting our money's worth because they're taking good care of her."

"My mom is in the Hampton Court Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. The staff is very caring, and the food is good. They keep the room very clean. She's doing physical therapy there. She's shown good improvement because of the physical therapy there. The staff has always answered our questions, and they're excellent at getting back. The place is very well-run. They also have a garden."

"My love one has been in this facility for less than a year. . For the most part the staff is nice but the care is not good. The nursing assistants and LPN need more bedside training overall. My dad has suffered with bedsores swelling overall that should have been detected prior to him being hospitalized. SMH! No communication at this facility between the nursing staff and Management is very poor there. I am currently seeking another facility for my love one. "

"My mother has received good treatment and attention in Claridge house. Also the food was very good."

"My sister-in-law is in Fountain Manor (Fountainhead Care Center). She seems happy there, getting physical therapy, and being taken care of well. The meals and everything seem to be good. They have a doctor that goes there, nurses on staff and a lot of people. It's calm and nice. There's a big patio. When it's lunchtime, they're all in the cafeteria and when it's not, there are about 20 or 30 people out on the patio just sitting and talking. My sister-in-law has a roommate. Their room is small and doesn't have a TV; she has to go somewhere to watch TV. She could have a TV if she's going to live there, but right now she doesn't which is fine. She knows how to use an iPad, so she's using their Wi-Fi, and that's how we communicate because the facility is not really close to our house, so it's a little inconvenient. My sister-in-law seems pretty happy with the place and the physical therapy that she's getting. She's improving every day. It just needs to be updated since it's an old building. "

"Jackson Heights Rehabilitation center offered assisted living services, but their main focus is in rehabilitating patients. I was pleased with the services offered there for my father. My father had suffered a stroke, and he needed rehabilitation services to "remember" how to walk. A part of his body was a temporarily paralysed and it affected his movement. Along with the rehabilitation, he had his own room, and 3 meals a day. They monitored his medication, and care. He successfully recovered from there and was taken back home. Jackson Heights is located at NW 14th ave and approximately NW 22 Street. My only negative comment is that I did not like the location of the facility. It was in a bleak area of town. "

"My mom is in Coral Gables Nursing and Rehab. They are good and have dealt well with my mom’s health, but there are other aspecs that I do not like, which I guess is normal. The rooms are shared rooms with two other people and my mom. Everything is fine and clean with the rooms. She complains about the food all the time, but my mom is hard to please. It is far away from where I live, but the facility is fine. I feel that they have too many people and are short-staffed. "

"I believe the nursing home is a top of the line living facility. From what I see when I visit, it is always clean and not crowded. One thing that I find a negative is the tight living areas. The rooms are so small. Its hard to have a space for my wife and kids to sit if we go to her grandmothers room. I like the staff that works there. They are so friendly and helpful with any questions we may have. They also seem to take good care of my wife's grandmother because she never has a complaint about them. The general area the nursing home is located in is city so it can get busy throughout the day. The food seems to be generic, which is good for elderly people. Overall, I would say that the Floridean Nursing & Rehabilitation Center gets an 'A' for its services and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a nursing home. "

"From the moment I arrived on the premises, I felt secured. There is a 24 hour guard. It is not easy to walk on the premises. The exterior is a pink hue and very well manicured. There is not much parking space for visitors and on Jewish holidays the parking over flows onto the streets off the property. It is a fairly large site with 3-4 buildings and various floors. They have everything from a temple, salon, pool, lounge, dinning area. Most of the decor is out of style but the place is kept very clean. The administrative staff was not very friendly, although the nurses/aids made up for it. Many times they had no idea of where my friend was, which meant to me they don't keep track of everyone. They do tend to have around the clock activities in all the different buildings. I sat down to have dinner once with my friend and the food, cutlery, service was pretty good. I was expecting hospital food. Overall considering the lack of assisted living homes in the area, this one is by far the nicest. "

"The Miami VA Nursing Home is a state of the art facility that provides excellent long-term care to veterans. This relatively new facility is adjacent to the Miami VA Medical Center and Jackson Memorial Hospital in mid Dade County. The staff and management are well trained, dedicated and provide a nice living arrangement for it's residents. An advantage of being next to the Medical Center is that residents can easily access medical care. "

"My grandmother was there for 10 years and all her care givers treated her as if she was their family, we could not have picked a better place for her to spend her last 10 years."

"I recently finished 2 and a half weeks of post surgery rehab at Glades West in Miramar FL. I was highly impressed with the level of care I received in all respects. The staff was very attentive especially the CNAs who provided the personal in room care. The physical therapy staff likewise was not only professional but approached an otherwise difficult time with such a cheerful attitude that PT was practically enjoyable. The nursing, social services and care coordinators paid attention and resolved all my needs and issues such as transportation to my surgical hospital and transportation to the airport upon my discharge. The physical facility was spotless and the room was equipped with TV, phone and call buttons if necessary. I would highly recommend this facility."
