Sun Terrace Health Care Center in Sun City Center, Florida, is a skilled-nursing and rehabilitation facility. Its listed care options include skilled nursing, short-term care, long-term care and personalized health care. It also offers inpatient rehabilitation and outpatient therapy. A nursing-home record lists 130 certified beds, a capacity figure that does not describe room types or layouts. The facility’s website uses the name Sun Terrace Rehabilitation Center; available information does not establish whether that is a formal name change. The site names short- and long-term care but does not explain how those arrangements differ.
The website distinguishes inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation. Inpatient rehabilitation is geared toward a safe transition home, while outpatient services are described as a way to continue strengthening and advancing personal therapy goals. The site does not give typical treatment schedules or lengths of stay. Care planning takes patient preferences into account and includes family input. The facility says this collaborative process shapes plans around physical and emotional needs rather than following one plan for everyone.

Physical therapy is listed for needs following orthopedic or neurological conditions or injuries. It can address functional mobility and independence, as well as range of motion, strength, coordination and muscle control. The website says therapists use techniques intended to restore function and minimize pain, with goals tied to individual needs. Occupational therapy focuses on greater independence in daily activities affected by illness or injury, including bathing, dressing and eating. Therapists also train residents to use specialized equipment, using rehabilitation techniques to support function and mobility.
Speech-language therapy covers speaking, problem solving, reading, writing and verbal expression, so the listed work extends beyond spoken communication. Therapists also evaluate and treat swallowing disorders. These services add communication and swallowing support to physical therapy’s focus on movement and occupational therapy’s focus on self-care.
Named specialty programs include orthopedic rehabilitation, cardiac rehabilitation and stroke recovery, along with pulmonary and lymphedema therapy. The center also lists mist therapy, wound care, urinary incontinence services and pain reduction. Vestibular therapy and a balance program are included as well. The website does not explain eligibility, schedules or how these offerings are combined with a patient’s broader care plan.
For daily life, the website names a movie theater and café bistro as amenities. It also describes therapy equipment and medical support as part of the facility’s setup, without specifying the equipment or the scope of medical support. The site lists hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week, but does not clarify whether these refer to visitor access or service availability. It does not describe room layouts, menus or organized activities.

They rotate through there. So everybody he's seen, he's seen them before. It's clean, and they seem to be very efficient people. However, I would like the administrative staff to be more responsive and do what you ask them in a better way. You ask them something and it takes them forever to get back to you.

We've decided to keep my dad at Sun Terrace Health Care Center. It's 24-hour care, which is what he needs. All the doctors that he deals with are on staff there. They rotate through there. So everybody he's seen, he's seen them before. It's clean, and they seem to be very efficient people. However, I would like the administrative staff to be more responsive and do what you ask them in a better way. You ask them something and it takes them forever to get back to you. The upkeep of the place is good. There's a library and a rehab, which is the big thing. There is a little courtyard where they walk people around in wheelchairs.
My mom was in for rehab recently. I found the facility very clean, the staff friendly and therapy did a good job with her getting her back to her baseline. We had some communication issues at discharge with social services. A big shout out to those hard -working CNAs and nurses who stopped what they were doing to get what we asked for. A special thanks to Tonya and Cassie who treated my mom like their own family.
My husband was there recently, the facility was clean a a pleasant atmosphere, The staff members were very helpful and friendly, nurse Julie was especially nice and seemed to be very knowledgeable she answered our questions. A special “thank you” to Matt in admissions to he was a tremendous help getting all the necessary paperwork in order and processed, he made it very easy for us to get Everything coordinated and completed in time. My son visited several times and was pleased withthe treatment his dad received. Our only issue was when ready to leave most of his clothes were misSing, I’m…

Although the facility itself is clean, rehab is supposed to make a patient better not worse. My Mom was in independent living prior, she took a bad fall & was in rehab for 3 months (should have been 1) & in that time she was "supposed" to be getting back to herself, he lost 20lbs, she can't stand, walk, or go to the bathroom herself. ALL her clothes were missing, 2 pairs of glasses & her dentures. Good luck trying to reach someone, let alone the patient. Went to visit one day, she was in the therapy room & as I waited in her room I noticed dried up feces in her bed. Needless to say, we got her out as soon as we could & she is now getting the proper care she desperately needed.
Confidence and just regular contact is important. My father may have an issue after talking to him earlier. Now going on 2 hours plus 7-9pm EST of no one at any main line picking up the phone. This is beyond unacceptable and not even having an operator. Never dealt with anything like this.
We have been dealing with Sun Terrace for several years now. The therapy team is excellent. However anything beyond that is horrible! From the treatment of the patients to dealing with the family this facility is HORRIBLE. Save your loved ones from indignant care, horrible sores, and basic elder abuse. Due to COVID that they couldn't control among their staff no one was permitted in to see just how horrible the care is at the Terrace. It wasn't until our loved one died that we were able to get into the facility to see the truth. This has been ongoing - prior to COVID, but we were always assured that there would be a management change- Sadly, in Sun City it's one of the only places around.
Horrible care for my mother. Understaffed, things stolen from her room, eye glasses, flowers and dentures. She developed grade 3 bedsores. No response from staff or management on all issues.
I toured Sun Terrace. The place was clean, it smelled awesome, the staff was friendly, and they went over and beyond to help. However, the price was not feasible for us. The residents were joking. They have daily activities like Bingo, and holiday activities.
