About this community

Palm Garden of Tampa is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center in Tampa, Florida. Its official materials describe short-term and long-term care alongside rehabilitation services. The available information focuses on nursing care and recovery rather than detailing independent- or assisted-living apartments. It does not describe room layouts or residential floor plans.

Rehabilitation programs are developed by an interdisciplinary team in partnership with the person receiving care, family members, and a physician. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy may be included, depending on the individual program. The center describes its therapists as licensed professionals who tailor therapy to help people regain independence and resume everyday activities. Its stated goal includes supporting a safe return home, though the available description does not specify therapy schedules or the goals set for each person.

Outpatient therapy is also available. People receiving inpatient therapy can ask their therapist about continuing as an outpatient. Those who are not residents need a physician’s prescription, and appointments can be scheduled through the center. This offers a way to access therapy beyond an inpatient stay, but the website does not specify whether every therapy discipline is available to every outpatient. The FAQ also recommends loose, comfortable clothing for therapy sessions. It notes that Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance may cover all or part of therapy costs, and directs readers to their insurer or the center’s business office for details. Coverage can vary; the available information does not establish what a particular person’s plan will pay.

Third-party profiles list shared spaces that include an outdoor garden, activity center, and library with a computer lounge, as well as a dining room and lounge. They describe arts and crafts, art classes, fitness classes, and organized outings or excursions. The listings identify types of activities and places to gather, but do not provide a calendar or say how often programs take place.

Other third-party listings name transportation, laundry and housekeeping, and a beauty salon or barber shop. They also identify a fitness center and describe the center as pet-friendly. A separate profile lists chaplain services and resident and family counseling. The amenity listings also name kitchenettes, air conditioning, telephone service, and television, without clarifying whether these are available in every room. These details come from third-party descriptions; the available information does not establish service schedules or eligibility.

The center’s website describes an open visitation policy and asks visitors with signs of illness to wait until they have recovered. It also says residents receive mail personally each day except weekends and holidays. Friends and family can submit a greeting online for staff to print and deliver. The site notes that when the center is secured after hours, signage directs visitors to the appropriate entrance.

We’ve had a great experience working with Palm Garden of Tampa. Hope and the team have been welcoming, responsive, and easy to work with from day one. Everyone we’ve interacted with has been friendly and professional, and it’s clear there is a strong sense of teamwork. We appreciate the partnership and look forward to continuing to work together.

My husband was just transferred here from the hospital yesterday so I really can't give an accurate review yet. Yesterday was a little chaotic, but today was pretty good. Nursing staff really listened to what I had to say about the medication my husband was on and I appreciate that.

I highly recommend Palm Garden of Tampa! The facility is always clean, welcoming, and well maintained. The staff is incredibly sweet, caring, and friendly, and they truly put the residents first. You can tell they genuinely care about creating a positive and comfortable environment for everyone. Such a wonderful team and atmosphere!

Palm Gardens of Tampa has always been clean the staff is very helpful and pleasant when I go visit,I would definitely recommend if you have to relocate your love one. Thanks for being kind to my best friend.

UPDATE: WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS OF PUTTING THIS UP, THE POLICE WERE CALLED FOR A "WELFARE CHECK" ON MY MOTHER. This place is as dirty as they come. PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONES HERE. My mother was sent here as a "Rehab Center" by Baycare Hospital in Wesley Chapel. We did not know it was a nursing home. At a glance it appears to be a nice facility. It's all smoke and mirrors. My first visit with my mom was after work late. Most nights I would come from about 7:30-9pm. On my way out the first night, my mother asked me to stop by the nurses' station and get them to bring water/ice. I did so and was acknowledged by "Crystal" and the maintenance guy. I left. My mom messaged me around 5am saying she had still not gotten any water. I started bringing her bottled water every night because this was a normal occurence. They also leave the patients to pee and poop themselves and don't change them for sometimes over an hour. My mom would leave me messages overnight documenting this. My sister and I were furious. I didn't say anything out of fear of retaliation, but my sister wrote a bad review. The next day my mom and dad were visited by the I guess head honcho "Shawn" who had the gall to tell my parents that "You catch more flies with honey". No apologies, just a lecture on politics. Saturday I visited my mom. Her room mate, I think it was a Mrs. Lewis (Lula), had to use the bathroom while I was visiting. She started crying for help. My mom and I told her to push her button. No one came. 5 mins of pushing, 10 mins of pushing, 15 mins of pushing and crying. I was going to get up sooner, but my mom was "afraid they were going to fuss at her" if I went and asked for help. Finally, I got upset enough I just told my mom that I had to go try. I went out and spoke to the nurse. I was acknowledged with "we'll send someone". 10 mins go by, then 20 mins, 35 mins later someone finally comes in and after one hour, they ask what's wrong. When she told them she had to pee, they said they'd get someone. A full sixty mins went by before that poor lady was acknowledged. This place needs to be shutdown. Do not send your loved ones here.

Communication between the hospital and Palm Gardens is inefficient. Communication between supervisors and staff also seems inefficient. My family and I will not recommend this place.

Palm Gardens is a great place for patients to go for Physical Therapy, Occupational therapy and Speech Therapy. They do a phenomenal job!
