Nursing Home Communities in Winter Garden, FL

"My father did short-term therapy and made a very good comeback and he is home on his own again. He was at Apopka Health and Rehabilitation Center. They helped him with his balance, his walking, and getting up and down. He couldn't get out of the hospital bed when he left without assistance, and then after one week he was able to walk with the walker and get out of bed. After two weeks he was able to walk without the walker, and on the third week he was able get up and down out of a chair by himself with no help. At Christmas time, he came to our house, and he couldn't get off the couch without assistance. On New Year's Day, he was like, "Look, what I can do," and he got off the couch all by himself. No problems, so they helped him with all his strength and balance. They did rehab every day for two hours in the rehab center, and then every evening a therapist came to his room with hand weights, and they did weights from the chair and the bed. So, he got rehab twice a day. The staff was excellent. Everybody was super friendly and super nice. The facility is beautiful. It's actually pretty new. It's only five years old. I have not tried the food, but he said everything was very good. The rooms were great. He had a shared room, but it was separated by a fairly significant common area and a curtain. They shared a bathroom. He was free to come and go. We were able to pick him up and take him. They have a hair salon, two or three dining rooms, a movie theater, and separate living room areas with couches, chairs, and tables that we could take them to when we wanted to see them. We can walk down to the living room area and sit on the couch and relax and watch TV with them. It was very nice and clean there. They have a schedule of activities every day from 9:00 in the morning until 6:00 at night every day. I think my father participated in some stuff, but I don't know exactly. I don't know what it cost, but it was money well spent. Literally every time we would see him, he would say, "Thank you for giving me this place. Thank you." He was very appreciative that he was there."

"My mother went there for rehab after a stroke. "

"My friend is a resident of The Lakes of Clermont Health and Rehabilitation Center. The place looks great. It looks good. It's very well maintained. The staff looks pretty nice. They have a nice dining area and a nice outside porch area for them to run around. It's clean. They cost a lot of money. I would even put my mom or dad in this place for rehab because it's that nice. I haven't tried the food, but they seem to have a pretty good menu. They have a few different activities. My friend showed me a calendar with activities they have per day for them to go to. It's a nice sized room. They moved him from one room to another since he's on Medicaid/Medicare. It was a little smaller, but it was just as clean and nice as the other one was. They did call me and tell me when his doctor's appointments are going to be. I think the place is nice, and the staff seem really pleasant (at least the staff that I've talked to anyway). They have been really helpful."

"My grandmother stayed in Windermere for about a week. It was very beautiful with carpeting like in a cruise ship. The rooms and everything were clean. "

"The place was clean and was well provided for the clients that lived there. Most of the staff did their jobs exceptionally well but there seemed to be some staff members that did not care about the clients and did their jobs half way. Still, the clients seemed to be happy and generally well taken care of. Not too many of the clients complained but when some did it was because they wanted their medicine fast or their food. However the place seemed worthy to help assist older people in their daily lives. "

"I have my mom in Courtyards, and everybody there is really nice. I don't have any problems with them. If and when there's an issue, they call me up and let me know what's going on. My mom seems happy. The staff is really good, friendly, answer all of my questions, and if they're too busy, always call me back. They always have something different going on between movie night, bingo night, and card night. They're always doing something, which is good. The rooms are nice. My mom shares the room with somebody else, which is good for her because she has somebody to talk to. She's happy. The pricing is fine,and compared to other facilities, it's a lot more reasonable. I guess the food's OK because she's not complaining. She's Italian, so if the food wasn't good, I'd be hearing about it. "

"I went to Guardian Care Nursing & Rehabilitation Center to visit a fellow church member. That nursing home is very clean and it smells clean. The staff must have been busy that particular day because we didn't see very many of them. The building was nice and clean. At the time we were there, the residents were watching TV. The community has a nice and quiet atmosphere."

"I really like Guardian Care Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. The residents always come first. You can tell that they care about them. My dad has bounced back and is recovering now very well. They administer his medications and assist him with his bathing. He's happy. He is a very picky eater and only trusts his own cooking, but he is enjoying the food there. It is very flavorful and very well put together. The place is also clean. I've never seen the place dirty at all. The staff is very, very polite, too. There is a young lady from the administration office that goes to see him every day. So, my experience has been excellent. It was totally more than what I expected."

"My family member is a residence here and getting the best care that is required.The staff is friendly plus addresses any concern. relating to my Dad.I haven't had any problems with the facility so far. Mrs.Elizabeth always answering my calls or return call.So communication is on point.Thank You all."

"My grandmother was getting old, and she was admitted to OHRC. I'd visit her a ton, so I'm coming from a lot of experience. A lot of people said it was a bad place, most telling me it was "dirty", however, it was extremely clean whenever I was there. The staff was real nice, and my grandmother loved it. They gave her a TV, she could play Wii whenever she wanted (she wasn't much of a gamer, needless to say) and they had daily activities of sorts. Everyone there seemed happy, and you'd think at a nursing home everyone would be grim and sad, like the ones you see on the news, but I was more than surprised at how well it was maintained and how caring the staff was. A+. "

"We went to AdventHealth Care Center Apopka South (Formerly Florida Living Nursing Center). Their memory care center was shut down for rehab, so we couldn't place mom there. It was a very nice facility, they provide activities, and they take them on outings. They had a nicely set up dining facility. They had a TV room and a garden area. The residents can come and go as they please, but the staff seemed very caring and attentive. The facility was very nicely set up."

"Facility was clean and staff was friendly Therapy good as well Would use again"

"The whole therapy team was just awesome! I owed so much of my recovery to Heidi, Quincy, Andrea and others. They were my trainers, cheerleaders and friends. Connie and Daisy are the greatest CNA's. Their kind compassionate care makes the obstacles on has to overcome, that much easier. All the healthcare team become more than caregivers. They became friends! "

"Westminster Towers Orlando is amazing. It's beautiful. There are so many activities and they are so encouraging. My dad doesn't feel left out. The food is great. He has a 10th-floor room that overlooks the skyline of Orlando and the Lake Lucerne fountain. It just couldn't be any better. He has a one-bedroom apartment and it's got a kitchen, a huge pantry, and a nice living room. It's just lovely. There are also laundry facilities on the floor for the units that don't have washer-dryers in their rooms. Their calendar is full. Every time dad has something going on. I went to a yoga class with him today. They have religious things, artistic things, a concert almost every weekend with really fine musicians, and movie nights. It's a packed schedule. The rent includes one meal a day and then you can add on as you wish. It's a cashless plan, so you use a fob to either pay for your guests or to credit your account for your meal, or when you go to the beautician, the barber, or their little general store. They got a computer center, a beautiful gym, and a heated outdoor pool as well. The staff is so kind and helpful."
