Went to visit a family member there, it is nasty. In the 30 mins I was there i saw 3 German cockroaches and a baby one crawling on the wall and floor. Shouldn't have to play squish the bugs. It is as bad as the Crack hotels on us-19. Paint peeling,scuff marks all over baseboards and walls, toilet kept running every 5 mins, no remote for the TV. The smell alone will make you not wanna stay, you would think it would smell like bleach to keep things clean and sanitary. They didnt have a walker for his use so he was stuck in bed. Says private rooms on the website that's not true either, the room…

Says private rooms on the website that's not true either, the room is saw looked like a big room with 3/4 of a wall 2ppl on one side and 2 on the other with just curtains. They had separate doors for both sides of the room.😓

I have been a nurse for 15 years and I have never seen such horrors as when my father was briefly admitted to this sorry excuse for a nursing and rehab facility. For starters, the moment you walk in it reeks of ammonia and human waste. One of the most concerning things that occurred within the first 24 hours was the facility placing a PICC line (an invasive and consented procedure) into my father whom already had a semipermanent central line placed prior to his admission. They never bothered to assess him upon arrival or they'd have seen it. They certainly saw both lines during the xray for…

I have been a nurse for 15 years and I have never seen such horrors as when my father was briefly admitted to this sorry excuse for a nursing and rehab facility. For starters, the moment you walk in it reeks of ammonia and human waste. One of the most concerning things that occurred within the first 24 hours was the facility placing a PICC line (an invasive and consented procedure) into my father whom already had a semipermanent central line placed prior to his admission. They never bothered to assess him upon arrival or they'd have seen it. They certainly saw both lines during the xray for placement conformation and never bothered to call to disclose their error. I left town for 22 hours and returned to find the line placed. What's maybe worse is that the staff called me upon admission stating I needed to give verbal consent for vaccines and treatment due to the encephalopathy my father was experiencing, but they somehoe felt it was appropriate to allow him to consent himself for this invasive procedure.

My brother had a horrible experience there . I had contact the insurance company and transfer him . Had PTSD after his 2 weeks there . Wouldn't send my dog there .

This place has few good attributes from a resident perspective. The food is ok and the therapy is good. The care is mediocre, when you press the button for assistance (if it is working right) it will take up to 30 minutes.for someone to respond (actually happened to me) please know your medications because your nurse may not be reliable. Just last night my nurse failed to give me my medication correctly. They may deny it but I experienced it. When I expressed my concerns after only three days of residency I got lots of apologies. Some improvements but did this need to happen in the first place is my question? FYI I have private insurance.

Hello everyone. I would like to say thanks to the staff. Mrs. Nikisha works in admission. She ensured I had everything I needed in my room. Due to my health, I am stuck in my room, but she ensured I had books to read, a bunch of snacks, she even hooked me up to internet. I am receiving the medical needs to get me healthy and back home.

This is my 2nd day and therapy and staff is on it. Great place

Every one calls me JJ. I lived here at St.Pete Rehab for many years. I have mad a lot of friends here most are like my family. I get therapy here and they are building my strength. I good to the dining room to eat, where we get served like we are at a restaurant. The food is really good. They have special days were we get taco bar, Sunday ice-cream with all the toppings. We have live music and the staff also put on shows. My roommate and I get a long very well. We get our room cleaned at least twice a day. Wait we also have outings where we go to the beach, Walmart and parks. If you need a place for your love ones away from home this place will be great for them. Team St.Pete Rehab. JJ

I have been here for 18 years and I absolutely love it here! The staff is nice and very helpful. They have me stay in contact with family and friends.
