The Best Nursing Home Communities in Manatee County, FL

"My husband and I have lived here for 13 years. We chose to live in a Manor Park Home, which is across the street in the Manor section of Bradenton Tropical Palms Mobile Home Park. We walk or drive over to the main building and campus for our wonderful chef prepared meals; for all meetings, fitness center, library, Bible Study, etc. Every resident is so friendly and like family to us. Our staff members are the best! All areas of living are available to us as we age….. independent, assisted living, nursing care at our sister community . We are so thankful the Lord led us here from out-of-state."

"Westminster Point Pleasant is a great spot. It's beautiful. They've got good people working there and my wife lives in a five-star unit. They have different buildings on their campus, some are with nurses and things like that, while she is in a rehab situation right now with some skilled nursing. It's well run and everybody is very loving, caring, and makes you feel good. The intake lady, Maj, is a wonderful woman. She's only been there three months, but she is a great girl. She is very caring, very helpful, listens to you, then answers your questions, and acts on them. My wife also thought the food was very good and when she was at a point where she couldn't eat, I ate it and for me, it was OK, definitely better than what I've ever had in a hospital. Then they have a therapist that goes around and works with each person in their room and she likes that too. So, I was hoping that my wife could stay there. She's on Medicare right now and she may only be there for another week or two since she's feeling a little bit better now."

"Rooms are small but well appointed. Food is good and variety of options good. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Facility was clean and well maintained. Nursing staff and CNA staff are very kind and accommodating. Therapists are very personable and Activities are good. Laundry service a little bit slow. All in all great find for my father’s safety and needs in this stage of life."

"My father is currently there and is recieving the best care I think he could ever get from the doctor and the staff. I live out of town but did not want to move him back by me because I feel like they are better than any of the places where I live.They are kind to my father and treat him wonderful. I felt lucky to find this rehab and it was also suggested as first from the case manager at the hospital.I truely feel he is going to gain his stregnth back and come home soon . "

"My dad moved from Freedom Village in Bradenton to Heritage Park in Bradenton for rehab. During his stay, which was a total of about two weeks, the nursing and therapy staff were very attentive to my dad's needs. Angelina was amazing! She was very knowledgeable, compassionate and caring, especially the day that my dad passed away. The staff constantly kept me updated about my dad's condition. The room was simple, but very clean. Unfortunately, my dad was too weak to participate in activities. While visiting, I did notice many residents participating in various creative group activities. I always felt welcome and appreciated when visiting my dad and the staff was readily available to offer any assistance."

"I highly recommend Bradenton Health Care facility. My mother was a resident there for several months, and I was very impressed with the level of care she received. The staff was incredibly kind, friendly, and professional. They went out of their way to make sure my mother was comfortable and well-cared for. My mother was always clean and nicely dressed. Her hair was always done, and she ate very well there. Her physical therapist went above and beyond to help her get stronger. I was especially grateful for Chandy, who was assigned to be my mother's guardian angel. Chandy would come in and check on my mother frequently throughout the day, reading her the Bible, singing Christian songs to her, or just spending time with her. My mother had a lot of personal one-on-one care, and the staff was genuinely good to her. I am so thankful for the care that my mother received at Bradenton Health Care facility. She was truly treated with kindness, dignity, and respect. Thank you!"

"My mom was in here because she broke her femur. I was happy with the care she was getting. There are a lot of caring nurses, aides, pa’s etc. if you want to know something though, you have to make sure you ask and get daily or every other day updates. Once you got to know the staff, they seem to be even more accommodating. My mom had been in other rehabs and hospitals and this was by far the best. ., we loved the receptionist too! I think this place has improved in the last year or so."

"My mother stayed in the Life Care Center of Sarasota for rehab, and that was beautiful. She'd been there twice, and that was an excellent facility. The food was good. My mother was very happy there, and also the residents. It's very clean, no odor, and the staff was very friendly. Her room was very nice, very efficient with a nice-sized closet, a dresser, and a nightstand. There were two beds in her room, but she was the only one in the room at that point. She had a roommate, and it was fine. Their activities were very nice. They have a 2:30 ice cream social every day. They have bingo and church services on Sunday. They have sing-alongs and some music. It was nice. There were plenty of activities to do there. Insurance covered it for rehab, but to stay there any length of time would have been extremely expensive."

"Mom is in Springwood. It is well kept with nice landscaping. The neighborhood is nice. It is residential, but it is right off in the major area downtown and it is secluded. What impresses me the most is the person that takes me around and shows me everything. They were very nice. I like the outdoor area, their dining area and the activities. It seems like it is a good place for my mother. I just didn't know too much of the difference between an assisted living and a nursing home and I find that she is more for assisted living and that is why are taking her out, but I will recommend them to others. "

"As a family member living out of state, I can confidently share that the Hawthorne Center for Rehab is clean and aesthetically pleasing, with plenty of hard working staff who connect with their patients. My mom called Hawthorne her home for 3 1/2 years and I knew she was receiving the best care."

"The staff was really nice at Crossbreeze Care Center. When I went in there, I talked to the director and asked questions, and they explained everything. But the facility needs to be updated. "

"I am the daughter of an out-patient physical therapy patient. I am an out-of-town daughter who has had the opportunity to accompany her on several visits. I was very impressed with the individualized and dedicated, 1:1 sessions. The therapist assigned to her is with only her the entire."

"My husband is in Sarasota Bay Club skilled nursing. They're very good. The only downside is they don't take Medicare. It was out-of-pocket. The care is very good. It's very clean and easy to get around, and everyone is so helpful. His room is huge. It's a private room, and it's very nicely furnished. They have little community rooms and a movie room. The staff is exceptional. My husband ate everything. It is expensive, but it is the best in town."

"I have my mother at Heartland North. The room seems adequate. It is small, but nice. People seem very helpful. They have quite few activities. They have bingo, card games, and music on the weekend. We chose it because my mom has been there before after an operation, so I am familiar with the place, and it is directly around the corner from where I live. It is very convenient for me. "
