Nursing Home Communities in Merritt Island, FL

"I toured Autumn House. The best thing for them is that it looks like they can handle everyone there. The least thing I like about them is that they're expensive. They're very clean, though. And their apartments are adequate. The staff was excellent, too. They had a nice courtyard. They had nice handrails down the hallways to keep balance on."

"The rooms at this facility are outstanding, clean, modern and roomy. We saw many different activities provided for the residents; a very nice outdoor sitting area/ garden; etc.; the photos online speak for themselves. Admin Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. My Aunt had a very complicated condition, in addition to being paralyzed. The Doctor's, Nurses and CNA's were compassionate, attentive and very knowledgeable with the medical care she required. In general, we thank God for allowing my Aunt the opportunity to receive the care she needed here and we highly recommend this facility."

"My mother is in Royal Oaks Nursing and Rehab Center. They're very clean and neat. They give a lot of attention to their residents, and I like their willingness to work with the family. And I like that they notify the family of any changes. My main reason for choosing it is the appearance and cleanliness, the friendly staff, and proximity to where my dad lives, so he can visit my mom. It's beautiful. My mom doesn't really participate, but they have a calendar full of stuff all the time. I see a lot of their residents participating and enjoying it. Value for money is pretty good. I believe all of it is too expensive, but it's no more expensive than any other place. They need to improve on the weekend staffing, but she has been getting good care. There have been some things that I've had to correct call them out on, but I don't feel like it's intentional. Communication is not always good between the patient and the nurse. There have been a few issues, but overall they're very good."

"My mother moved to the Nursing and Rehabilitation Center of Melbourne. It's very neat, clean, and modern. And the food is good, my mother says, and they give her everything she needs as far as health and personal care. The staff has been great. They call me if they need to. Otherwise, they talk to me when I'm there and they have a monthly review of each resident. And if I'm not able to make it, they will conference me at my home. The room is shared. It is just like a basic hospital room, and my mother is near the window, which she enjoys because she could see out. It's all on one floor. There is furniture in there that you can use. The bathroom is attached and they have that curtain screen in the middle to segregate the patients. But it's neat and clean. They have activities, bingo, and other sort of such board games. They have crafts. There's a common area like a wing, and they have coffee, tea, and hot chocolate every morning for the residents to get together and talk. So, there are opportunities to interact among the residents."

"We love Titusville Rehabilitation & Nursing Center. The attention that they give to my mother-in-law is amazing and everybody is so professional. She's been taken care of very well. The rooms they have are very good. She's comfortable and it's clean. They have some artwork activities, a therapy room, and some people that would come in to do their hair and stuff."

"I had a family member stay here recently. From the moment they got there. He was taken care of with a great team working around him till he came back home. The nurses were always quick to respond to his needs day or night. The food was good too. You can see what they have to eat by the nurses station. Also the activities were fun for them to stay active. Physical therapy was great and helped him alot! When it was time for him to leave. They had set up everything needed at home and some dr Appointments too."

"My husband was in the rehab section of Indian River Center for three months. The facility was good. He liked that they treated him well. However, he didn't want to stay there for good. He received physical and occupational therapy. The nurses and case manager were very good. They knew me by name, and when I walked in, they would ask, 'How are you doing?' My husband had a semi-private, and there was someone else with him. The food was good. They had variety. He got pasta and meat. The building was good. The people at the entrance locked everything, so I had to ring the bell every time I went to see my husband. They had activities. They got everything for them. They could walk them outside in the back, but my husband didn't want to do any activities. He just wanted to be in bed all day."

"My stepfather had gone to a different rehab facility when first released from the hospital. They were completely unable to care for him properly and he ended up back in the hospital. When he was released again he went to Life Care Center. I called because I wanted to be sure about the level of care he would receive. I spoke with Jackie who spent quite a bit of time listening to my concerns and addressing them. When my stepfather arrived there, she called me twice to keep me informed on his progress and gave me her cell phone number in case I had any questions. My stepfather received EXCELLENT care and I am convinced that had he gone to this facility to begin with, he would have gotten home a month earlier. He is doing great now. Thank you Jackie and Life Care Center."

"I had an elderly friend that was admitted to this facility. During his stay his health steadily increased to a point that he had not known for years. The facility Staff were wonderful and easy to speak with. They always responded to any needs he had and developed a special relationship with him while under their care. I am so thankful for all they did for him. This gave me much comfort to know his needs were met. He loved his smoking times with his friends. Thank you to all the Staff. Thank you administrators and Social Workers, nurses and nurses assistants. "

"The staff at AVANTE have made placing our mom in a rehab the best experience. In just one week the staff showed me how to care for her when she returns home. We previously had home health nurses who never once showed me how to properly care and move and help my mom get stronger. The staff at AVANTE did so much in just a weeks time. The PT and OT staff are working so hard with my mom. She is getting stronger by the day. We are looking forward to her returning home. The nurses have been tentative and loving everyday. You never have to search for a nurse. They are always right next to your room. The staff around the facility have been kind, genuine and very helpful. The cleaning crew is always in my moms room making sure everything is just right. We've been grateful for the staff, especially the CNA's who have been teaching and guiding us. The care our mom is receiving at AVANTE has been wonderful and we would recommend them."

"Good care, staff work hard for cleanliness, therapy was great,"

"My mom moved to Melbourne Terrace Rehab Center. She needs special help like bathing and taking care of personal needs, and they fit everything on the bill. It's truly skilled nursing care. Her vitals were taken several times a day, and they administered her medications and everything by registered nurses. They had doctors there and it's everything that I wanted to come together for her. The staff was very friendly, respectful, patient, and very professional. The food is very good. She eats well every day. They have activities every day. She can either participate or not as she wishes. They accept Medicaid as full payment."

"I stayed in the Encompass Health Sea Pines Rehabilitation Hospital for rehab. It was a little more on the older scale, but kept up fine. The staff weren't as active with the patients. The food was bland. I'm using a little bit of spice in it. My room was a little smaller than what they had at the other facility, and like mine didn't have the windows. I had physical and occupational therapy there, and they were good."

"I want to take the time to give thanks and praise to housekeeping. They work very hard every day and rarely get a thank you. I have been a resident here since May 2nd, 2025 and one housekeeper in particular has been a true blessing. Her name is: Judith. She does a wonderful job. She always has a smile and she brightens my day. I wish everyone here would have her joy and her commitment to helping the residents here. Thank you Judy, I pray God blesses and prospers your life. Thank you for the joy you bring to others. Keep up the great work"
