Nursing Home Communities in Lutz, FL

"My mother is there and we go at least 2 times a week to visit and mom is always doing something. Also when I call the nurses they have all been very nice and everyone willing to assist. Mom has a private room and lots of room . She also receive therapy they have a gym on site and she loves going."

"I first came to ManorCare in February after being at a few other rehab centers previously. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by ManorCare being that my other rehab experiences were not positive ones. I was given the respect and kindness that I never received elsewhere. My first day at ManorCare I wasn't feeling well and that is when I met Pedro, who offered me soup and was truly genuine. Everyone from there on had that same caring nature, and was extremely kind. Krista the care navigator was very proactive and got me the boots I needed for my feet. Whatever I needed, it was done. ManorCare exceeded my expectations and I have been to other rehab facilities before. I can honestly say that nothing compares to the care I received at ManorCare. If you are in the position where you need to go to a rehab facility, this is the place to go. ManorCare has integrity, kindness and a excellent management team. Thank you for everything! "

"We visited Fletcher Health and Rehabilitation Center. When you step inside, you're in a foyer in an office area, so they had to send somebody to get us. We saw the rooms in the rehab center and the kitchen. There's a nice garden area in the middle of the place, where you can go out and sit with your family member. I wasn't really impressed with the TV room because all they do is push people out there and just leave them there. There was nobody that stayed there, but the nurse's station is right behind it, so they can see the residents, and it's easy to call out if they need something. The place was clean, but they didn’t have any availability. The staff member who helped us with the tour was very polite. We also saw that they had a gym where they do the rehab, and they also have a nutritionist there."

"Carrollwood Care Center was clean and seemed like it was well staffed. It was not as luxurious as the other place I’ve been, but it was nice. The people I met were very friendly and helpful. This would be my second choice. I saw some activities going on, and their dining area was very nice. "

"Dad was at Accentia Health and Rehabilitation Center of Tampa when he was still alive. We were familiar with this facility because my grandfather also passed away at this home. The administrative staff was excellent. By the time dad was there, he was not really mentally capable. He was in the wheelchair and they would move him around into different room to listen to music, but he really wasn’t able to do anything or participate in anything. "

"My mother that's 90 is a current patient. She is leaving on Saturday. She has had an excellent experience here. The employees are very caring, my mother has made friends and actually she has enjoyed her time here. Her rehab here was well worth it. Nice group of young people. Would like to continue going here for therapy. The rooms are very spacious. My mother loved her meals and has actually put on weight in the two and a half weeks she has been there. My mother has a good attitude and is a nice person to the employees . That goes a long way of course. We have seen some other places and if need be would come back here without a question."

"My mother-in-law was at Fairway Oaks Center. She was there for three days. It was fine but she was not happy. She's not happy at all in any type of place like that though. The care and the therapy were fine. They were all very nice people. My mother-in-law was in a shared room, but there was nobody in it. She was receiving PT, OT, and speech therapy. The building was fair. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great. It wasn't fine."

"The facility was in good shape and had ample security when coming in. I was surprised to see so many people living here. I was told, "...there is always something going on here..." Shortly afterwards, I noticed a large bulletin board that completely validated that statement. Everyone seemed quite happy living there and everyone greeted my kids with open arms. The living quarters seemed quaint for two but comfortable. They also made claim that they had the first "senior zone" for traffic wight out front. The food in the cafeteria area was okay and the grandparents mentioned that its usually much better but there were a lot of people visiting today and the regular cooks were not probably there. Parking was a little bit troublesome when leaving. Seems that the security guard felt that my car wanted to stay the night. It took about 45 minutes to find the driver to move. "

"I am very pleased with the care my mother gets at Excel, and would recommend them highly. The staff is friendly and good with the patients. And the place is clean and orderly whenever I visit. My mother loves the activities and the food. "

"Baldomero Lopez State Veterans is wonderful to my dad. He has been there for about 2 months. It’s beautiful. The food is surprisingly very good. The staff there is very caring. There have been a few little incidents -- most of them minor -- and they call you right away to keep you informed about things that have happened even if they don’t have great consequence. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about how they render their care there."

"I visited a residents at Blue Heron today and was very please with the staff that was on duty Dwight, Terry and Michelle they were very helpful and caring."

"My mother,92 and cognizant, has been @ Habana since 2016. I rarely have complaints b/c I have things dealt with immediately b/c I visit 2-3 times a week @different times. I also bring in goodies for the staff. That may sound like bribery, but it really is b/c I understand they are not paid well, it’s not an easy job, and deserve recognition. I have had issues like a cna not showing compassion. I immediately calmly spoke with her and explained my mother’s need. It changed her behavior. I found her clothes were not taken good care of, so I do her laundry myself. I have no problem having things fixed by maintenance when needed. In other words, patience, understanding and kindness go a long way to making my mother’s time there relatively good. I will say that during COVID things have not been great and I can’t get in to make things right, but when my mother tells me something, I call and it’s remedied. I’m sure their jobs became even more difficult and frightening with COVID. Lastly, I will say that the night staff is less diligent in my view. Why? I don’t know. There job is just a bit less hectic. Oh, and the food is probably the least likable aspect. It really needs to improve. "

"i was impressed with the staff to resident ratios and the cleanliness of the facility. Everyone working there was friendly. The residents expressed gratitude and spoke positively about their experience there. Overall, this facility is well managed."

"Whispering Oaks was wonderful to my brother. When I left with him, they all came up to me and thanked me for allowing them to take care of him. They were excellent. My brother was there for three months. He had his therapy completed, his needs were met, and the people were kind and conversant with him. They enjoyed him and he enjoyed them. The nurses and administrators were great and wonderful. I wouldn't hesitate to put him back there if he needed that level of care. The food was great and wonderful. It couldn't have been a better place. He was beautifully treated, the place was clean, the staff was friendly, and the medical care was perfect. I was pleased."
