Florida Department of Veterans Nursing Home

I was so happy to be able to volunteer here. The facility is beautiful, so clean, the employees are so polite. Iris was so helpful in showing us around and just how she interacted with everyone. This place is well kept, they have a beautiful birdcage and they have birds. I came with my church and really enjoyed spending time with everyone. I will be coming back regularly in these coming months. Thank you.

This place is clean. The staff was polite, respectful and helpful. I've visited 3 times. They have a large birdcage and wonderful decorations and memorabilia about the walls and hallways. It's tough to find a place for loved ones that is acceptable, this is one of the best facilities I have visited.

After an exhausting search my cousin became a resident at Nininger. From my very first encounter at the front desk to the present 12/12/23 I have nothing but praise for the administrator Ms. Shannon, Ms. Sadie and the entire physical therapy department. Everyone we have encountered have been pleasant, concerned, caring, compassionate and nurturing to my cousin and all the other veterans we pass during our visits. The Alpha unit is very clean and cheerful. I visit often and I always feel welcome. They keep me informed of his personal needs and progress. Ms. Rita and Ms. Jill in the activities department really try hard to make sure that the activities they plan for the veterans are interesting, engaging and inviting. Keep up the good work Ms. Shannon and staff.

My husband just moved into Alexander Nininger State Veterans Nursing Home. The things I like about them are the nurses are there and there are other veterans also. I was there early this morning and they got him dressed, cleaned, brushed his teeth, and fed him. He seems comfortable there. What's nice is instead of a regular wheelchair, they got him a chair that's more like a lounging chair on wheels. He looks very comfortable in this particular vehicle and it's easy to maneuver. They started labeling all his clothes to make sure they didn't get misplaced, and they were hanging up and organizing his clothes. He has a roommate, and he has his own little area. He has his own side tables, drawers, and cabinets. They also have a sink in their bathrooms. It seems like they're doing what they can for their residents. The room is roomy and it gives them a lot more privacy. They change sheets, not just once during the day. They do change the sheets at different times of the day in case it needs to be changed. They keep everything clean. There's no smell. Within the area where his room is, they have a center area where the nurses hang out and they have all the information right there.

Staff is super rude! The “nurses” talk to the family like children and then when you give them the same energy they call it a “threat” the administrators are no better Larry is the rudest administrator ever! It’s like where is the support for the family? This facility is a joke! They upset my mom so bad she had to be rushed to the hospital for a anxiety attack and not one time did the administrator ask was she ok all he did was bash us and told her we cannot return because his staff was threatened and the police was called, yes! Because they knew they were wrong and was scared!
