Nursing Home Communities in Port Charlotte, FL

"My husband was at Charlotte Harbor for rehab and they are excellent. The nurses are very attentive and very friendly. "

"I was an inpatient for one month. No complaints. Very good experience. OUTPATIENT THERAPY IS A DIFFERENT STORY. The authorization process is rocky. NEEDS ATTENTION. Care itself is exceptional but omething is wrong in approval process between facility and my ins cp FLBLUE HMO. "

"I have to say that the care my wife received was excellent . The staff were there for her and kept her free of pain. This made her end of life very peaceful and helped me at the most difficult time of my life. The caring was all a person could hope for. Thank you all all my love to your staff."

"I went to Quality Health Care, and it is a regular nursing home located at North Port. It is a nursing home, but compared to the other facility, it is much better. It is cleaner looking, and it is more modern looking. It definitely would have been a possibility if I was going to put my dad in a nursing home. They take Medicaid. It would have worked out if I had to go that route with him, but I'm trying to keep him out of a nursing home surrounding as much as I can. I heard good things about them. I was there between shifts and between meals, but they did have activities going on. I was there when it was President's Day, so they were all assembled in the little social room talking about President's Day and the Presidents. At least people were there, and somebody was making an attempt to bring them in to what was going on in the outside world. I thought that was pretty nice. The room looked pretty typical. They just looked like hospital rooms. They didn't really have much warmth to them, but it is a nursing home, and that is what I have come to expect. I would recommend this place as a nursing home. "

"My friend went in at Englewood for actual rehab. In looking around, this was the closest facility for her. My friend has been there since December. Since her physical condition went down, she wasn't able to return home, so we decided that she would be better off in a full-time nursing home. We chose this one because she was used to it, and she likes the people there. Also, we like her treatment, and the price was reasonable. The facility is clean and pleasant. They keep everything very tidy. There is no smell. It doesn't smell like some of the other places did. My friend shares a room with another individual. There is adequate space in her room. The food is OK. I'm frankly not thrilled with the food, but it is OK. For the full-time residents, they have a number of different activities; however, my friend is not interested in attending them. She has always been something of a loner. The staff is very warm and caring. They have regular meetings with the patient, the patient's caretaker, and various heads of department where the status of treatment is discussed. They take recommendations from the patient and from the patient's caretaker. I find that very helpful. "

"Sunset Lake in Venice was excellent, bright and cheery, very clean, and very well lit. The residents seemed to be very comfortable and happy there. The staff was outstanding, very caring, and professional. We could not have asked for a better place for my brother to spend his last days. They did a wonderful job caring for him. "

"My mother is currently a resident at ManorCare of Venice. I cannot say enough about the facility and its staff. The halls and rooms are always clean and/or being cleaned. The rooms are spacious and the residents and/or their family can decorate them if they wish. There are always activities for the residents and when I peak into the activity rooms the staff is always interacting with the residents keeping them involved. They think of such creative ways to make it interesting and fun. The nurses are kind and helpful. They are always willing to answer questions I might have and really care about ther patients. I have seen them sit and talk to the residents making sure they have what they need. They are so kind and make you feel they love their job and the work they do. The aides, cnas, are always busy helping and taking care of my mom and the other residents. They too smile and are always kind. "

"This review is for the rehab section. My Mom spent almost 2 weeks here after being released from the hospital. The nurses and aids and PO and OT personnel were professional and helpful. The room was clean and adequate storage was provided for her needs. You do need to be an advocate as far as needs not normally performed--- daily BP checks and lab work ordered by outside doctors. My Mom enjoyed the food and I was able to eat lunch with her at no extra cost. The case worker Linda was wonderful and accommodating, as the assisted living facility we were transferring her to across state required numerous forms, emails etc."

"The lady who helped me at Pinebrook was very helpful, but that was a skilled nursing facility and not an ALF. It is just very tired looking, and it is like it hadn't been redone since 1980s or something; that's why it didn't appeal to me at all. I didn't see any activities going on there. This is a place I just visited, and my dad didn't go there. My overall impression is there wasn't any activity going on, and it is a nursing home as opposed to the assisted living facility that my dad is in. They don't really have activities in nursing home because most people are confined to their room. That is of course what I saw; they were in their rooms. Everything looked very old. There is one little television from the 1980s. It just looks like it really needs some serious updating. I just didn't like that at all, but the staff was very helpful and very accommodating in answering all of my questions. The impression that they gave is wonderful, but that is not the impression the building gives. "

"Great staff this includes Renee ,Andrea ,Kim, Deseray Expecialy Dee in Activities . My wife loves it there ."

"My wife has Alzheimer's and does not know anyone .The doctors have worked hard to keep her comfortable. The staff goes out of their way to provide the best care they can . The management has worked with us to provide the best of care"

"Coral Trace Health Care is amazing facility with great leaders who are so accommodating. The administrator and the director of nursing and other leaders along with the staff goes far and beyond their job role. Some people made negative comment about this facility but for my experience, what a lovely group of people, smiley faces, helpful and so accommodating. I will definitely recommend this facility for skilled rehab and long term care. "

"Dad is at Consulate Health Care, and they seem like a pretty nice facility. I visited the facility about four times in the last couple of months. The facility seemed pretty clean to me. Most of the staff seemed pretty good. I know my sister had a problem with a few of them not being really attentive to things when my dad needed help, but so far I can't say anything negative or too positive with the staff. If there is one thing they need to improve on, I would say communication, because it seems to be that has been the ongoing problem my sister had with them, and I can see it too. "

"We like Gulf Coast Village very much. They’ve just opened a new section of it. The community was quite large -- bigger than most places -- but their cost was higher and was a little bit out of our budget. We do have one granddaughter that lives in Cape Coral, but she’s the only one. It would be a long drive for everybody else. "
