Ask about this communityOcala Oaks Rehabilitation Center is in Ocala, Florida, and offers short-term post-hospital care, respite stays and permanent inpatient care. The center’s About page also refers to recovery after surgery or serious illness and to long-term care. To qualify for the post-hospital option, a patient must have had at least a three-night hospital stay. That stay includes 24-hour nursing care and physical, occupational and speech therapy, with therapy available up to seven days each week. The three-night requirement is stated for post-hospital stays; the website does not state the same condition for respite inpatient stays, which may last from a few days to several months. Admissions are available seven days a week.
Permanent inpatient residents may be admitted from a hospital, assisted living facility or home with an admission order from their primary physician. The center lists private and semi-private rooms and describes its accommodations as large and homelike. Its features also include a transition-to-home suite, though the website does not describe the suite’s layout or associated services. A separate facility profile lists the center as a 120-bed nursing facility.
Rehabilitation features include a gym with Biodex equipment, a NuStep recumbent bike, stairs and stair-training features. The Post COVID-19 Recovery Program is described for people diagnosed with COVID-19 who required hospitalization and are now in recovery. It includes nursing and rehabilitation support, with the stated aim of helping people return to their prior level of function; this describes the program’s purpose, not a guaranteed outcome.
Portable telemedicine equipment is available during daytime hours, after hours and on weekends. The center says it can be used without moving a resident from bed. Outpatient services are also listed, but the supplied information does not explain the types of appointments or treatment involved. The center’s specialty-program description notes that staff may receive additional training for specialized equipment or treatment programs, but does not identify other offerings.
The About page refers to care from caregivers and physicians without detailing their respective roles. A separate facility profile also lists physician, pastoral, portable diagnostic, dietary, respiratory and wound-care services. The center’s own pages do not describe the scope or conditions for these items, so the list does not establish that each service is included in every stay.
Listed common spaces include a lobby, library, salon and indoor common areas; landscaped grounds, a courtyard and outdoor common areas are also named. Dining areas and a dining room appear among the amenities, as do laundry services, phone and cable television, and newspaper delivery. Activities are listed, but the website does not specify particular programs, their frequency or a schedule. It also does not describe menus or meal times.

My mom has been at Ocala Oaks almost 1 year and I visit often. The staff turn-over is ridiculous! CNA's are not there long enough to know the patient. Several times call button has NOT been in reach of patient. It should not take someone 20 minutes to respond especially when I see CNA's/Nurses at the nurse station and not paying attention. Try calling any staff member. Good Luck. You get put into voice mail and if you are lucky, you will get a call back. My mom has fallen and I got 2 different anwers as to what happened. Ask a question and you get "I don't know". I have talked to the…

Ask a question and you get "I don't know". I have talked to the administrator and staff members about some my concerns but nothing happens. They do not relay information from one shift to the next. Food - My mom is on a pureed' diet and Kitchen staff has been told several times to include extra gravy with her meals. In 8 months, this has happened one time. Can not get any updates from physicians assistant. Does not return my messages. I recently had to have Hospice coming in and now I am getting the run around between Hospice and nursing home staff.

Mom moved into Ocala Oaks Rehabilitation Center. She's gonna go to rehab, but she's there for long-term care. We liked what we saw. We liked the way it was run. It's very secure, and there's a lot of constant interaction. Everybody there looks happy. The residents and the employees were extremely friendly when we were on the tour. They knew everybody by name and the residents greeted them like they were friends. And it was just a really warm atmosphere. They have a salon, and rehab, they have in-house dining in the dining room, and they have laundry. They do laundry, and they have skilled…

When I walked in I felt a sense of uncleanliness and misery . So I went there to see my grandfather and he was not getting the proper care or medicine he also had a bad bed sore. When I asked to speak to the nurse it took almost 30 minutes for one of them to come. My grandfather was waiting there for a nurse to bring medicine for over 4 hours and we told him that he was lactose & intolerant they wouldn't bring him any kind of milk and would give him orange juice with his dry cereal . There was a lady that came to talk to my grandfather and one of the nurses yelled at her and told her to go back to her room . So yeah I was very disappointed and over all sad for the client and my grandfather. 😔😔😶😶
No one can answer the phone during change of shift nurse bell put in night stand with drawer closed on bed bound patient. Really?
I found the facility both warm and inviting. The entrance is a bit business like but as you go further in it quickly becomes homier. The staff though sparse was very helpful and on constant attention for patient needs. I was very happy with what I saw. The rooms were warm and friendly, the dining hall was clean and well setup. The kitchen was very clean and seemed to be sanitary. All the staff seemed to be knowledgeable about the patients' diets and needs; they seemed very efficient in their completion of duties. The grounds are kept neat and tidy. There seems to be plenty for the residents to do to sty busy and entertained. All the nursing staff seemed very concerned that they be happy in their environments. All in all it was a pleasant experience, I would not have any qualms about having a loved one or family member at this nursing home.
