Okeechobee Health Care Facility

Scabies alert. I received scabies well in there. Instead of treating me, they just put hydrocortisone cream on my rash. Never had a doctor come look at me. Doctor Ahmed the worst. He saw me for three minutes a day I was admitted. Four days later after not seeing a doctor I asked to see my doctor. I had to beg for four days and then tell them I was being medically neglected before he finally came back so I could find out what my diagnosis was and what we were going to do. When he finally came back for three minutes again, he talks so fast. I had no idea what he said. The helicopter was landing outside of my window and instead of taking a breath and waiting for the noise to stop. He started screaming to me to over. Take the noise from the helicopter. All he told me was he was a third generation doctor. Absolutely horrible bedside manner. As far as the food I am blown away that their director of food and beverage is actually licensed and college educated in nutrition because there’s absolutely zero nutrition in the food they serve. There was nothing fresh. The vegetables are so overcooked and soggy. Gerber could use them as baby food. Dinner one night consisted of a slice of pizza chicken noodle soup and canned pears. There is no choice on what you get to eat and there is nothing nutritious. No fresh fruit no fresh vegetables and nothing but carbohydrates. I’d like to see the Director of food and beverage. Sit there and eat the meals because he wouldn’t. The only positive thing I can say is the nurses and the staff. Besides, the doctor were phenomenal. They went above and beyond the call of duty to take care of me.

The level of genuine care and love my grandmother and my attending family received were absolutely fabulous. The staff was so kind, compassionate and caring.

I was very disappointed in my mother care at Okeechobee health care facility during her rehabilitation stay. She did not receive the proper cleaning of herself from the CNA’s nor was her rehabilitation getting her in the right direction to be able to take care of herself. After 3 full days I moved her to a better facility

I visit my friend at the facility.I have known her for 50 years.She needs to be with people,not at home alone.She loves it there.Everyone is so nice to me when I visit. And I feel she is in Great hands Thanks to the wonderful people 💗

We stopped by Okeechobee Health Care Facility without calling ahead-unannounced. The building looks older from the outside, but inside it was very clean and orderly. The staff we passed in the halls were professional and busy with their care. Overall, it made a very good impression on us. If you’re considering a place for a loved one, it’s worth dropping in to see for yourself. - a place where people really care.
