Nursing Home Communities in Sanford, FL

"My mom has been in Longwood for over a year and definitely, I wouldn't want to make any changes at this time. The facility was not a fancy place, it's older but it's well taken care of and well maintained. They have separate dining areas for those who need help eating and for those who go back and forth and eat on their own. They have rooms for recreational activities and staff members who lead different activities like painting and arts and crafts. They have a piano area set up for entertainment. They have onsite therapy rooms and doctors who make rounds every day. My mom shares a room with a private bathroom and has medical attention there. The staff was very helpful over the phone and when I went over there to look, I saw a lot of very happy residents interacting with their caregivers, looking comfortable, well cared for and enjoying themselves. The food is fine, some days are better than others but it's not bad at all. I like the staff, they're very good at calling and letting me know if they have questions about my mother's health. If something happened, they told me and what they did about it. My mom likes the way she's treated there, her spirit's better and her risk of falling is less. They could probably improve on giving feedback for changes in some scheduled meetings. I would definitely recommend it to anyone in my mother's circumstances. "

"My husband is a resident of this facility. He is only 47 and we couldnt find a facility to accept. I live in Orlando so finding somewhere I could trust was high on my list. I am only 43 with 2 teen age kids, work full time and am unable to be there all the time. Visually its not the prettiest place but they care for there residents, they get excited when they see him making milestones. Before here doctors wanted me to do hospice no one saw the potential I could see, but here they do and since being here his bed sores are healed, and taken very seriously if they notice the skin breaking down. He has not been sick with a cold. He is really cared for and everyone is sweet and willing to help where they can. Im happy to say dont judge a book by its cover. If you have to place a family member they will be in good hands. "

"John Knox Village Medical Center was very nice. They had everything you need. The staff was absolutely great. "

"Wonderful staff very caring my mom had exceptional rehabilitation . Thank you so much for the attentive care of my mom!"

"Village on the Green was outstanding. The staff was very, very friendly. I actually have picked it as a place that I'd like to retire to myself. The rooms were just beautiful. The pool looked very, very tempting and very inviting. The facility was an A-plus. Everything looked up to date. The architecture looked cutting edge and the grounds were very clean."

"There are just two reasons that we left Life Care. One, it was a little too big for my mother -- too many people. And two, she wanted a private room. The clientele there were socio-economically not at her peer group, so she is more comfortable where she is now in terms of her colleague or her co-residents, and she has some vanity about her. I never ate in the dining room there; I didn't care for it. It was too institutional and just adequate. The thing is it depends on what is important to the patient. If it were me, I would take the top medical care even if I have to suffer a little bit on rooms, but my mother doesn't think that way. She'd rather be comfortable and treated like a queen even if the medical care isn't any good. It depends on what the patient values, in my view. Their therapy was a five-star, and the nursing staff is a four-star. They were friendly and quite attentive, but the therapy is very good. If you were rehabbing, I would highly recommend it. "

"Beautiful facility with friendly staff and excellent nursing care! We were very pleased with everything and would highly recommend this facility to friends and family. The building is well maintained and has a great layout. No smells as some of these places tend to have. There is even a beautiful courtyard in the center that the rehab gym overlooks with tall windows letting in natural light - a huge plus when working hard in the gym! The center is located in beautiful Winter Springs and has many local restaurants and shopping nearby for friends and family members who are visiting. Activities are also provided at the center which consists of live entertainment, games, and of course ice cream socials! The staff are warm and inviting and make you feel like part of the family. As you can tell I would recommend this place to anyone! "

"My father and mother both have been at the Lutheran Haven for two and a half years. Mom is in a cottage and dad is in the nursing home. The staff does a tremendous job caring for all the residents from the independent homes to the assisted living to the nursing home. Plenty of activities to do. Transportation when needed. Able to walk next door to church and all the activities at St. Luke's Lutheran including their terrific concert series. "

"Consulate Health Care of West Altamonte provide three good, healthy meals a day. The offer therapy. She is happy there, and she does not want to move anywhere else. Everything is outstanding. "

"Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital provides a little garden area with real food planted there. They also have outdoor rehab work, and they give you all manner of rehab there. They start in the mornings. The people that work in the rehab area are so professional, and they make rehab fun. They make sure you do as well as you can. The food was really good. My room there was clean and nice, but it was not anything spectacular."

"My sisters put my mom here at Florida Living Center. It is very nice and they are doing a good job. They are rated five stars so it is really good. But we still go back to her to make sure because her skin is very tender and we have to wash her. I go there to make sure she eats and sometimes I feed her myself. They have rooms and apartments in there as well. "

"My mother has been with Westchester since the end of last year. They are very good. They have attended my mother very well. We don't have any complaints about them. "

"if it wasn’t for the outstanding bright young lady Ms Quay C I dont Know What I Would Have Done. she made sure that I was taken care of and made sure that I had everything I needed for the night. She checked up on me every 10-15 mintues and I knew that she cared , I loved being here I had a great 3 weeks thanks to Quay C she’s a very magnificent aide "

"My dad is staying at Bedrock Rehabilitation & Nursing Center at Winter Park. Right now, he is in rehab but they're going to move him to long-term care. We chose this place because of the friendliness of the administration staff. The layout is basic, but the level of care that he's getting is very good there. Their therapists have helped him out a lot. It's a very clean place, and they clean his room two to three times a day. They offer physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. I have not tried their food myself, but my dad seems to like it. Some days are better than others, but overall, he is surprised that the food is as good as it is. They have lots of activities for their patients. They also have a snack room that they can go and purchase snacks from. They have a vending machine. They have two courtyards, too. However, they need to improve their communication. They're not great at communicating with each other."
