4.1 · 145 reviewsI would NEVER recommend this facility to anyone I know. They lack the competence to treat patients appropriately or professionally. The lapses in care and communication is astounding. Please, stay away

DO NOT place your loved one at this facility. I was working with a travel agency and picked up a shift here. The staff told me which patients i had and we did a run through of patients. The person I was relieving told me one of the patients was in the hospital. The staff would not let me into the locked unit until 5 am after begging for them to give me the code to the unit where my patients were. At 5am i had an hour to get my patients cleaned and ready for breakfast. After I was finally let in I started cleaning everyone up. Of course they were soaked and soiled. I had to have staff help me…

DO NOT place your loved one at this facility. I was working with a travel agency and picked up a shift here. The staff told me which patients i had and we did a run through of patients. The person I was relieving told me one of the patients was in the hospital. The staff would not let me into the locked unit until 5 am after begging for them to give me the code to the unit where my patients were. At 5am i had an hour to get my patients cleaned and ready for breakfast. After I was finally let in I started cleaning everyone up. Of course they were soaked and soiled. I had to have staff help me with one pats to get all his sheets (that were soiled) from under him. She proceeds to tell me not to shake the sheets, because they have bed bugs. Continuing down the line of cleaning up my patients, I opened the door to one room, and there was a patient on the floor plus the patient that actually belonged in that room.. remember the lady in the hospital? Yeah that was her. So who knows how long she had been there because no one would let me in to check my patients!!!!!! DO NOT put your loved one at in this facility!!!!

Lynn Rozuk CRNA APRN, Disabled cervical frx , l3 cyst. My fall button is defective. I fell in shower and had to call 911. The RN said "I can't wait for you to be SEPTIC ,unconscious ".
Wonderful community with caring and knowledgeable staff. Very attentive and sincere management team that is second to none. The community is minutes from beautiful Siesta Key and conveniently located to shops and dining. You won't regret giving them a look.
The rugs are filthy black, food is not edible with rank luttuce, chicken is dryed out, help moves at Jamacian speed with dirty hair, no activities. The key Director can't solve minor safty ADL elavater problems except as a mantanece/ janitor Couple with Blue, his wife & mother in law.
The managers here are amazing! The residents here are all wonderful people and get along with everyone. It is very much a family environment at this community. They enjoy games, entertainment, and have such a great happy hour which is made special by the Chef's appetizers that she makes for these occasions.
The activities keep residents engaged throughout the day. The residents always look forward to the outings on Fridays that they get to choose beforehand. The dining menu, the residents enjoy because they get to choose from various entrées. The memory care also have great activities to engage the residents and they go on their outings once a month on Fridays.
