About this community

Palm Garden of Ocala is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Ocala, Florida. Its services include short-term and long-term care, skilled nursing, subacute care, and rehabilitation. The facility’s own information centers on nursing and therapy, with rehabilitation intended to help people regain independence and work toward a safe return home. The available descriptions do not identify apartment types or room layouts, so this description focuses on services and practical details rather than residential floor plans.

Rehabilitation is provided by an interdisciplinary team of licensed therapists, who develop individualized programs with patients. The facility describes this work as helping people rebuild activities they value and regain independence. Both inpatient and outpatient therapy are listed. Someone receiving inpatient therapy can ask their facility therapist about outpatient options, while a person who is not a resident needs a physician’s prescription for therapy services. The website says therapy appointments can be arranged through the center and recommends loose, comfortable clothing for sessions. Its FAQ says Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance may cover all or part of therapy costs; the FAQ directs readers to their insurer or the business office for coverage details.

Other listed clinical services include wound care and tracheotomy care. The service listings also name oxygen, Anodyne, and Vital Stim therapies. These are identified among the facility’s services, alongside skilled nursing and rehabilitation, but the available materials do not outline how often they are provided or how a particular therapy is selected for an individual.

Resident amenities listed include cable television and telephones, a beauty and barbershop, and an ice cream parlor. Private dining rooms are also listed. Outdoor features include courtyards and wheelchair-accessible walking trails, and bus transportation appears among the amenities as well. The available information does not describe transportation routes, destinations, or schedules.

The facility describes its visitation policy as open and encourages visitors to come often and regularly. Visitors showing signs of illness are asked to wait until they have recovered before coming in. The website notes that the building may be secured for safety, including after hours, and that signs direct visitors to the appropriate entrance.

Mail is delivered personally to residents each day except weekends and holidays. The website also has a greeting feature for sending a message online: the sender enters the recipient’s name and message, and, once the message reaches the facility by email, it is printed and hand-delivered. Instructions for mailed correspondence include spaces for the resident’s name and room number.

I would not bring a dog here, although one patient did! The place is nasty and dirty. Hallways are kept somewhat clean for show, but the patient rooms are dirt. Floors unswept, walls and doors scuffed and unclean. The floor in my husband's room was covered in blood from an incident with the guy in the next bed. Blood on the drapes that separated the beds. It remained that way 2 hours after I complained. Patient care is a joke. Non-existent. Patients calling for help go unanswered (supervisor says they're short staffed).

I would not bring a dog here, although one patient did! The place is nasty and dirty. Hallways are kept somewhat clean for show, but the patient rooms are dirt. Floors unswept, walls and doors scuffed and unclean. The floor in my husband's room was covered in blood from an incident with the guy in the next bed. Blood on the drapes that separated the beds. It remained that way 2 hours after I complained. Patient care is a joke. Non-existent. Patients calling for help go unanswered (supervisor says they're short staffed). Husband suffered a stroke, had to call their their attention to the symptoms. Even then the nurse nonchalantly said that might happen. Have yet to come see what was going on. I had to call 911. I hope they shut this place down. It grieves me to think of the poor people who has no one to speak up for them. The don't even deserve 1 star....had to rate it to post this.

Outstanding staff (at ALL levels), who seem to add so much uplift to many of the residents going through difficult times of physical rehab & life adjustments. Life can bring us all through rough times, but it's always such a blessing to see our friends feeling more positivity & encouragement in their outlooks.

I have a family member in Palm Gardens, and the staff there are absolutely amazing! They're very attentive and always entertaining the room with a smile! I'm very pleased with the care my loved one receives! Thank you Palm Gardens!

I love that the staff manager and faculty listens to your concerns. And adjust to them immediately I like that we are able to discuss a plan of care for my father. Everything that I have asked this done.

My mom spent a little over 2 weeks here and I can’t say enough on how AWESOME!!! this place is. This staff at the (Palm Garden of Ocala) were some of the most caring, attentive, kind, reliable people I have ever met.
