Nursing Home Communities in Largo, FL

"I have found Largo Rehab & Spa for my husband. He’s been there for a while and seems to be happy with it. He is at a point where he needs complete nursing care, and I had heard from somebody else that it was a good institution. I’ve had a few issues with the laundry, but everything has been going OK. The problem with the laundry was the help doesn’t realize I want to do his laundry. I don’t want to send it out because every time it goes there, it gets lost. Other than that, the care has been very good. They have a physical therapy department that has been working with him in trying to get him to walk. They are also trying to get him to learn to swallow again and not have the problem of getting pneumonia, so he’s in a couple of good programs. The food is very good. I was really surprised because he’s been in three nursing homes and this has been the best by far. They have outsiders come in and run the food section who do a very good job with the food. He has had a swallowing problem so every thing he gets has to be ground up and pureed, and they have to put something in his drinks to thicken it because he can’t drink just any liquid. I think they need more people to take care of the residents, but the workers are very good, caring, and considerate. "

"My wife was at Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Largo for two and a half weeks. They did physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy with her. The facilities were very clean. The food was good. The staff was very attentive and very informative. If I had a question, they would be right there to answer it, and they had many administrators who were also involved with the patients."

"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 mother was in this faciiiy for just a short time, but everyone we had dealings with was so nice and professional. They were prompt when you needed them and so kind. "

"My dad was extremely ill, and the doctor recommended East Bay Rehabilitation Center. They were very good. The rooms were of good size, and they were clean. "

"We chose Belleair Health Care Center because it was clean. The people were smiling, willing to talk to you, and the staff was very attentive to the clientele. It is very affordable. "

"The staff at Highland Pines Rehabilitation was great. They encourage you to keep working. I would rate it very well; they were excellent. I haven't found any faults. I thought they were great, and they were good for me. The food was OK; it was good. You could play bingo, and back then we could go around other people so we were allowed to go outside and sit on the porch on the veranda. We weren't stuck in the room like now because of the pandemic."

"I did talk with the residents at Consulate Health Care of St. Petersburg, and the residents seem good about the staff that work there. It’s a pretty nice place, it’s clean, and it’s big. They don’t have individual rooms; you have to share with somebody. "

"My husband is now in Glen Oaks. It is very clean and well-organized. There are a lot of nurses and nursing aides, there is a rehab therapist, and I just like it because it is all enclosed in one facility. It is a very clean place -- which was my biggest concern -- and he seems to be doing pretty good there. The staff is excellent. He has to build up his strength, so they are giving him 3 square meals plus in-between and Ensure to get him stronger because he is very weak and very unstable. So that is basically what they are doing for him and showing him how to walk with a walker and getting his balance back. The facility location is close to all his family members, and the grounds are beautiful. It really is a pretty place, and I was really surprised to see it right there in the middle of the neighborhood. I like that they can’t get out because they have an alarm system, and they buzz you to come in, so it is very secure -- which I am glad because he tends to just want to go. "

"My mom has been at Clearwater Center for 4 days now. So far, she's doing well. The staff that I have met so far has been excellent, very caring, very professional, and very willing to help in any way. I was very pleased. Her room is very small. It's more like a hospital room, and there are two people in the room. It's not big enough for her to have anything. I could not even bring her recliner chair. It's just a bed and a very small end table and a closet. It's a nursing home, so you would kind of get the hospital feel. The dining area is just a room with tables in it. It's very, very bland. I have not had a meal there, but my mother said that the food is good. They have a very small room with just a few chairs that you can go outside that's covered, but there are no grounds. They have an activities director and there are rehab specialists, so they get a lot of care that way. And then they do have other activities that they offer just to keep them busy. Considering that mom is getting advanced care, I would say their price is quite good."

"My friend Gerald was a resident of Gulf Shore. It's off the main road but it's landscaped very nice. It's a very good place. The rooms were good. Usually there were two residents in a room, but they had their own individual closet and TV. The staff were very nice and very professional. The services were good. They had a lot of outings that they took the resident on. However, he was having problems swallowing their food. It needs to be chopped up. The food was not very appetizing to him. They were right up on everything but they could improve on the food quality. "

"HarbourWood has a courtyard, and it seems to be a very clean place. The nurses are fairly good. It is long term care, so there are two people in the room. I don't know about the food because my husband is fed through a tube, so I don't know if the food there is good or not. They have bingo, and they have singing. I'm fairly satisfied with everything that is there. "

"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 told a staff member about the attentive care my mom has received at Comprehensive and she asked that I make a review on this website. She was discharged over a week ago and is now home with family. No place replaces being at home but I have no complaints about the facility. It is an older facility but it was very clean. I would trust Comprehensive to care for my mom again if she needed more rehab. "
