Nursing Home Communities in Saint Augustine, FL

"It was ridiculous. I was really upset with Governors Creek. I was so disappointed to see my father. He was there for a week, and he had already been sent to the emergency room twice. They were not watching my dad, and I already informed them about his condition. His bed was not safe. There was no alarm, and it had no railing. He had no TV. It was empty. I wanted to send him home that time, but I could not. It's a very old building. I feel bad for those people who were in there. They were not friendly people as well. I've been there today because to take my dad's belongings, and they cannot even find it. They sent me to a room that looked like a mountain of junk belongings of patients. "

"Vicar's Landing at Oak Bridge is very close to where we're actually living now. We were able to reserve a place there, so we took that. We will be going to independent living, but we like the continuous care they have, going from assisted living to end of life. They've got a very good facility doing that. The staff was very friendly. They were wonderful, very knowledgeable, and very pleasant. We like the location and everything about it. The meals are very good. They have everything we want. There's a swimming pool, aerobics, a gym, and PT."

"Unit manager Al and floor Nurse Katlynd were amazing and ensured I had my asthma inhaler swiftly while I experienced an asthma attack. CNA Dessy was highly attentive. I would highly recommend this facility. "

"River Garden Hebrew Home is a great place. They've taken excellent care of my wife, but the building is showing its age. The people are very nice. With this many staff, there are a couple of ones that aren't as warm and friendly as the others, but my wife has had excellent timely care. They have quite an outdoor area and a small man-made lake that's full of ducks, geese, and turtles, and you can feed them. It's very peaceful, nice, and beautiful. The food here is very good once you get used to kosher food."

"Isle Health and Rehab was home to my mother for the past 3 years, the staff and nurses tirelessly cared for Mom throughout her stay. I would visit several days a week and witnessed firsthand their care and compassion in taking care of their residents’ needs. Special thanks go to Ivon for making Mom as comfortable as possible and seeing to her daily needs. Tim, the activities director, through his Paws for Seniors program, arranged interactive visits with puppies and kittens and Janelle, for helping in arranging and encouraging participation in group activities/events, dressing in themed attire to put a smile on resident’s faces and raise Mom’s spirits. I had confidence that the staff and nurses at Isle Health took care of Mom’s needs on the days when I was unable to visit. I am sincerely grateful! "

"I would like to say that they're taking care of my father . He is always very clean. Most of the time that he rings the bell they come soon to attended him. He doesn't call much. The CNA s are nice to us, although they have about 30 patients to take care of. They work very Hard and always come in with a nice attitude. Therapists are good. Nurses answer what you ask them and say what you tell them. We are nice to staff and likewise.. they clean the room every day. They tell the residents to stay on their wheelchairs so they don't fall. The Lady of social services is very helpful. The nurse manager sees that staff do their work and help them too.the room are semiprivate an some primate. They are clean. Have plenty of chairs for family. I don't know about the activities because my father doesn't go because he sleeps a lot."

"I've been very pleased with Solaris HealthCare Palatka. The staff has been very helpful because this is all new to me and very overwhelming. They have guided me and assisted me the whole way through trying to get mom set up in a room. She went in originally as a rehab patient for her fall. They helped me walk through all the paperwork, and they've been like angels for me. Her room is very nice. They've got private rooms, but she's in a shared room, which is very big even with them being shared. The beds aren't side by side, they're foot to foot across the room, so there's plenty of privacy. The staff is on top of everything, and they take really good care of her. She's clean, she eats well, and the food is great. It's a very nice and clean facility, and it does not smell like urine when you walk in. It feels like you're going into an apartment complex. They have Bingo and puzzles. They've got rooms where they can watch TV, listen to music, or get on the computer. They've got patios where they can go out and visit with families. I was very impressed. It's up-to-date with today's codes."

"When I first got to Avente I was in really bad shape, I was in a car accident and had major surgery as a result of the injuries. Within the first week I was progressing immensely in my recovery. Not being able to stand up or walk at the time was an obstacle that they taught me to overcome. Soon after I was able to get myself into a wheelchair unassisted, use the restroom on my own. When my surgeon gave me weight barring clearance the very next day they had me up and on my feet taking steps in the parallel bars. After that they put me in a rolling walker and everyday I was able to more and more walking with their help. I would like to thank my physical therapist Mendy and Leah, you are the best. Then Nurse Pepe and Aldrain who stayed on top of all the medication I was getting after my surgery. All the CNA's were great, Tula, Precious, Ms. Lee, Manuel and all the others that worked the west wing. Thank You"

"This facility has taken great care of mom! I am so pleased that I made the decision to send her here. I am so grateful for the love and care she receives."

"After looking at the options, we moved my mom to Regents Park. Unlike some places, there were no bad odors and everything was open and bright. Mom has been there for three months, and I visit almost everyday. The facilities are clean and regularly monitored. The personnel at the facility have been very good. I met the nurse manager, Ciara, on the first day, and talk to her most days. She is always ready to hear my concerns and take action when needed. There are several of the CNAs that regularly care for my mom. Jenny and Victoria are very good, and really look after mom. CNA Shirlee is outstanding. She always makes sure my mom is as comfortable as she can be and has everything she needs. I often joke that if my mom moves we’re taking Shirlee with us. I have had occasion to speak to Ashley, the Executive Director about an issue. She was very professional and listened to and resolved my issue. All in all having to put a loved one in a facility is hard. The people I’ve dealt with at Regents Park have made that process a little easier for me."

"My husband stayed at Penney Retirement Community and it was excellent. I would highly recommend it. He went in there at night from the hospital because he was discharged late. I got there the next morning and the staff came into the room to personally meet me. They were just kind and considerate as could be and granted our every wish. He got three good meals a day that he really enjoyed, and he got bathed as scheduled. It was really a good place. Plus, they had a good physical therapy department. The pavilion is the building that he was in. There's nursing home, assisted living, care center, memory care, and physical therapy there. He was in physical therapy. It was very good care. There was a lady in his room cleaning every day. He had a big bathroom. It was really, really nice. The staff were popping in quite frequently to see how he was and giving him his medicine or helping him to the bathroom. At that point, he wasn't able to walk because he couldn't even stand. They really helped him in every way he needed. I wasn't there every day, but the food I saw was very good looking. If it wasn't good my husband would say so, but he enjoyed every meal. Medicare and TRICARE took care of it. If you had to pay for it on your own, it's $400 a day. They had transportation for him. The staff listens to you. The place is very clean, and the pavilion is relatively new and very modern. It's a community all by itself. They even have their own post office there."

"I'm at Flagler Health and Rehabilitation Center. The upkeep and the room are very good. I've only been here three days. I've been to the dining room twice, and I've been to the physical therapy room once. The dining room is very nice. They have tablecloths on the table, and it's very nice. And there's a young lady who does activities there. It's well controlled. She knows the residents that are here, and she knows them by name. She's very nice to everyone. That's important because if you don't have family coming to visit, it's important that somebody at least treats you nicely. Yesterday, there was bingo. At the end of the month, they do birthday celebrations for anybody who has a birthday. On Friday, there was a wine and cheese celebration, which of course is not real wine. And so far, the food is pretty good. With regard to cleanliness, from what I've seen coming in and out of my room, it's clean and neat and everything."
