Nursing Home Communities in Palm Harbor, FL

"My mother-in-law is now at Countryside Rehab & Healthcare Center. I would recommend them. She has been there for three weeks now. I chose it because it was close to my home, and the doctor that saw my mother-in-law in the hospital, that's one of the places where he practices. The overall experience has been very nice. It's like they're a family. It is very clean. The dining hall is always very cheery looking with either flowers on the table or something. It was decorated for the 4th of July. The staff are very friendly, very attentive, and very professional."

"Palm Garden was a better facility for my mother. This place was more intimate. The room was closer to the main area, the lobby and the dining room. There’s just more people working there, and they are more attentive to their residents of all the other ones. The care is excellent Monday to Friday, it drops off on the weekend, but Mondays to Fridays it’s very good. They are active at bingo games and they provide some music off and on. They do a good job of keeping it maintained. They just repainted it and they just redid the floors. They were selected up there as The 2014 Home of the Year in that area (they have a big banner outside). I’m there two days a week. I’ve visited probably at least fifteen facilities because it wasn’t working for my mother in some of those places; they just don’t have enough people working. It really comes down to who's attending to the patients or residents. Now the other facilities, they don’t have adequate staff. Based on my mother’s needs and her feeling lonely, and having somebody there to show them love and care, I would say overall, Palm gardens does a very good job at that respect. "

"My mother (90 years old ) stayed at Westchester Gardens for 5 weeks. She had suffered heart failure and struggled walking and had to learn how to use a walker properly. The staff were attentive, empathetic and knowledgeable helping make my mothers speedy recovery successful. She is back home living independently. That was her goal. Choosing the right type of rehab can be your key to the success in your loved ones outcome. Westchester Gardens has a staff of fully-trained professionals who can help you make the right decision for yourself or a loved one. We highly recommend them! Thank you Westchester Gardens for helping my mother - you all rock! "

"I was looking for a Nursing home for my sister that would be close to my house and I found it. The staff is very friendly and caring. I was impressed by all the staff on the day that my sister was admitted from the Administrator, nurses, maintenance and all the others that help us feel at ease. They are very friendly and keep me informed of everything that is going on. The admissions lady was friendly and very helpful. She did a great job. Even though the building is very old my sister's room is very clean. The food is excellent according to my sister. She has her own TV but the only thing that is missing are the Spanish channels. They celebrate holidays and have different activities that the residents enjoy like music, movies and games. I like the fact that I can visit my sister whenever I can and they have Spanish speaking staff that talk to my sister and tell me that they like her very much. I am very pleased. The facilities are kept clean and organized. I'm glad that I found this place for my sister. I recommend this place. Nilsa Troche "

"We admitted my mother in law after being discharged from Largo Med Rehab. Since she couldn't immediately go home because of a severe fracture. When she was admitted to Dunedin she had been having uncontrolled pain and with the help of the nurse practitioner got her pain under control. The personal care she received from aides and nurses was superb, they were constantly checking on her. When she didn't like the meal they were quick to offer her something else to eat. The rehab staff got her strong enough to go home before the doctor thought she would be ready. We have absolutely no complaints about anything. I would highly recommend them."

"When I leave this facility, I would like the main boss of the entire establishment to know how extremely well everyone here treated me! They took such great care of me and I have not one complaint. I would advise everyone and anyone who needs a nursing home or rehab to come here. To me, this would be the one and only facility I could honestly say took such great care of me from head to toe and treated me with complete respect and made me feel like family. -Just one of the grateful patients.

"I have visited and worked at Mease Continuing Care in the Skilled nursing unit for 2 short months. In this period of time I have experienced what this section of the facility was all about. Let me begin with the positive aspects of Mease Continuing Care:Staff really connect with their patients. From nurses to housekeeping, everyone seems to have some type of a friendly and caring relationship with a patient. There were many activities available for the patients from day trips to puppy visits. The patients were really encouraged to join in the fun.Food was great. The are offered many options and are allowed to make special requests for foods.Facility was neat and free of dangers, i.e, water on floors, free wires, unlocked doors, objects blocking hallways, and so on. The facility had many in house services for the patients, i.e, a store, bueaty shops, doctor and dentist inroom visits, restoritive dining, chapel with religous services, library, theater, and physical therapy. The facility had a wonderful resort like feel to it. Staff seem to always have a smile on there face and pay lots of attention to the patients.The admin has a cute white pomeranian that is always in the facility which brings much joy to the patients when they see him.All patients are on wander gaurds and chair/bed alarms so nursing staff always now where the patients are. Facility allowed 24hr guest visits and allowed them to help in their loved ones care, i.e changing, dressing, feeding.Finally, it is located in the same parking lot as the hospital.Now to the cons:Price was very steep. It is a very exspensive facility.The director of nursing and the admin never seemed to be happy or smiling.They seemed VERY understaffed. So there were times staff could not give that extra special attention most patients longed for.Parking seemed limited for guests.For the patients that dont receive visitors often or at all seemed to be forgotten on their birthdays. Yes the facility ties balloons to their wheelchairs or walkers I think a nice singing of happy birthday and a cake or appropriate dessert would add a special touch. SMALL rooms unless they could afford the private rooms. Hard to get wheelchairs through in most rooms.Overall, I believe this is a great facility for a loved one. I just feel they need to focus on the little things more becuase sometimes the little things are worth more to the patients and their families. "

"My wife's sister was at West Bay Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. The staff was very good and very friendly. They're very professional. They actually did a wonderful job. The facility was clean and well cared for. My sister-in-law was in one room, and it was a very nice room. It was an older facility, but it was still kept clean and nice and well maintained. The people there were just wonderful. Regarding security, it was good. They had security cameras throughout the whole place. Security was very well done. "

"I haven't found anything bad with Tarpon Bayou Center so far. The food is very good. They clean, bathe, and feed my wife, and so far they're really good. The staff is great. The personnel is really good, and the place is nice and clean. It doesn't smell. The security is very good. They treat her well. I'm very comfortable with her being there. "

Terry Pierola"

"Consulate Health Care of Safety Harbor was good. The staff was friendly. The food was bland, but it's OK. My friend's room was very clean. They have an exercise area."

"My mother is getting 24-hour medical care at Peninsula Care & Rehabilitation Center. They're doing the best they can, and they have kept her safe. They've attended to her, and they're very good. They're not perfect, but she's relatively happy there. They're caring people, and it's been mostly a good experience."

"I am giving Comprehensive 5 STARS***** I have been there 5 times for rehab. 5 Times, 5 Stars! They have a very friendly, caring staff. The therapy staff are wonderful and I like to see the same staff is still there each time I have to stay. The CNA's work hard as do the Nurse's. They never seem to mind when I ask for that second cup of coffee. The food is good and you certainly get plenty of it. I love "Jake " he is the Therapy Dog, a Golden Retriever. Activities brings him to your room for visits and Jake personally delivered my newspaper each morning. I have never seen anything like it. everyone loves Jake he has the best job! Housekeeping does a good job and are a friendly bunch. Everyone says Hello and Good Morning and you are treated with respect. The staff seems happy and they smile that speak volumes. I have made and kept 2 very dear friends. They were my room-mates on one of my many stays at Comprehensive. I enjoy each stay but am always happy to go home! I realize they are the reason I am able to go home and fell safe doing so. "

"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."
