The Best Nursing Home Communities in Pinellas County, FL

"My husband is at Tierra Pines Center. It's very good. The staff seems pretty good. I haven't been there personally, since he had been there since the pandemic. I've seen his room on the phone when I call him, and it looks pretty good, clean, and painted, and it has a lot of light and a window. I think he's eating all the time because he has not lost weight, but I haven't seen how the food is. He has Alzheimer's. They have a care-plan meeting that you can request ahead of time, and they all get together for a conference call with you. The only thing I have to complain about is the phone system is awful. It's very hard to get a hold of the patient, because either it's a very old system, or they don't have a phone where the nurses are in the locked unit. Other than that, I don't have any problems. The facility looks good, but I haven't been inside the place. They provide medical doctors. There haven't been any issues. It's a very good place. I think my husband feels comfortable. I know the nurses are busy. I think nobody there is picking up the phone like they should because they're all doing something else -- they were occupied and busy. From the beginning, they have been taking care of him and if something happens, they will call me. The other day, he needed a change of medication because he was getting a little bit agitated. He has Medicaid, and they haven't asked me for anything."

"My husband is going to East Bay Rehabilitation Center. He's been there for rehab before. Everyone was just great. The rehab part was really good. Everybody was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The rooms were small but other than that, everything was nice and clean. They've got all kinds of activities to do, from playing games to doing crafts, to just social. He was there for three months. I was there when he had meals, and they seemed pretty good."

"I have nothing but praise for Sabal Palms Health Care Center. The facility is clean and the care is superb. From the day my parent was admitted they were treated with care and you could tell the staff was their to do their jobs and they did them well. Mom had some "issues" with the food initially but the dietary manager stepped in and things were resolved quickly. The therapy team was great: very caring and professional; in fact everyone was caring and professional. Everyone from nursing and Social Services to Housekeeping were friendly and always smiling, which helped my Mom keep her spirits up. Communication was good and within about two weeks I was invited to a care conference where my Mom and I were informed of her progress in therapy. Mom was eventually discharged home and has shared with her friends how pleased she was with the care and suggested that if they ever need a rehab center, they should definitely go to Sabal Palms. "

"I chose this facility for my mother because I always told her I wouldn't put her in a nursing home. She went to an acute rehab hospital one time but they dischared her before she was ready. The next time rehab was suggested, I kept my word sort of by placeing her at Largo Rehab and Spa. She got great care and services. When she went home her functioning was far superior. I saw something on another review about the "lack of" spa services. That's because it's the spa approach that one consumer wasn't seeing. The staff answer call lights quickly and they're very focused on the little things, the requests and desires. They pampered my mom to the point she wanted to stay past her period of insurance covereage. "

"I was there for physical therapy and I am happy that the therapists were all really good and they worked hard with me to make me strong again "

"Staff are very attentive towards residents. The food is wonderful. There is a wide range of activities for residents to choose from. "

"This nursing home is the best nursing home my husband has ever been in. At all the other nursing home's my husband whom is disabled and cannot talk or walk use to call me everyday, all day. He is clean. They don't ignore him. He is happy. That's all that I ask of. I love this nursing home. Thank you for your excellent service. The staff is awesome, rooms are always clean. I visit my husband everyday. Thank God for blessing me to find this center."

"I was for the most part pleased with this facility and it's cleanliness. Also, the friendliness of the staff was quite good. They took fairly good care of my grandfather, and provided sources of entertainment and amusements for the seniors staying there. They seemed to genuinely care about him and passing all pertinent information on to our family about his care. There were some instances where I was disappointed in the manner in which he was treated or left in a dirty linen for too long, all in all I would say they did a good job, aside from those instances mentioned above. When he passed away they were very kind and expressed a deep sympathy for our family. The price from his stay was partially covered under his Medicare insurance I believe. I appreciate all of the care they did provide for my Grandfather in his last months of life. "

"My husband is at The Care Center at Pinellas Park. He hasn't been there that long, and they seem to know what they're doing. They're under new management. It used to be called Signature HealthCARE of Pinellas Park. I've met all the staff on the third floor where David is. They seem to be competent, hardworking, and friendly. He has physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. He has Parkinson's and dementia. He's in a clean room with two beds, which I'm pleased with, and a bathroom. The food was the one drawback. They have a lot going on there."

"My grandmother is currently at Palm Garden of Pinellas. Since she's been there, she has liked it. And we do too, as a family. It's been wonderful. I love that they have a 24-hour visitation. You can go any time. The open-door policy there just means they have nothing to hide. Everybody there has been so wonderful, just always positive. I don't ever see any of the staff getting cranky. I've never seen anybody being irritated by the residents, on both sides, because we walk across the whole facility to get to my grandma's room. And anybody that is ever around just seems pleasant. I know that they're taking good care of her, and I've seen them take good care of her. There are no smells there. My grandmother doesn't ever look disheveled or like they're not taking care of her. She's never dirty or smelly, and I've gone at different times of the day. Me and my husband have even eaten the food there because they have a dining room where you can eat with your loved one, and the food is good. I feel like they've built a good rapport with the staff because when I see them, they're all very loving to the residents. They joke around and they laugh and have fun. The environment that they create is nice and very comforting. The staff there has just overall been fabulous. They took my grandma out to a pumpkin patch around Halloween, and she picked out her own pumpkin. They took her even though she was in a wheelchair and couldn't walk, and that was amazing for me. They have also asked me what she likes to do and supplied her with coloring books and paint-by-numbers."

"I was very impressed with Gracewood, the staff was pleasant, the facility was clean, and the food was very good. I would recommend Grcaewood to anyone in need of rehab. "

"Advanced Rehab & Health Center was not a pretty facility, but they were very good. They were with my dad all the time. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and caring. The dining room was not very nice. The facility was in need of updating. "

"Highland Pines has a very good rehab facility for therapy. I was unresponsive for a year and a half. I couldn’t stand, sit up, talk, or walk, but I'm doing all that now. They were the best therapy I had. They got me back on my feet. The food was really good and flavorful. The place is comfortable. The rooms are very decent, with VCT floors so you don't have to worry about germs. They also mop the rooms regularly. They have bingo, dominoes, and karaoke."

"My wife was at Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Largo for three weeks. It was an excellent rehab. She had 3 to 4 hours a day, and she's back where she's at least walking on the walker. Also, her mental capacity has come back a lot, so she's almost 100% better than when she went in, so it's very good. The staff were really good. It was all paid for through Medicare. There's a double room. They've got 2 or 3 gyms that they used for rehab. People come in there for 2 to 3 weeks and then they're in and out."
