Review of The Palms Rehabilitation & Health Care
Extremely rude nurses and aides who are so put out by any requests if they respond at all. If I liked my uncle at all he wouldn't be there

In Palm Bay, FL, nursing home care in a semi-private room averages $9,688 per month, and $10,600 for care in a private room.
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
Seniors unsure about the need for 24/7 nursing care may find it useful to compare costs with other forms of senior care that might provide the level of support they require. Home health care, for example, which provides consistent skilled nursing care, costs less than half (at $4,767 per month) what nursing home care does. This level of care could allow some seniors to remain in their own homes for longer. Care in an assisted living facility, where residents have access to a wide range of medical and non-medical supports, is even less costly, averaging only $4,461 in the Palm Bay area.
