I had such an amazing time seeing my grandmother over the weekend. I met this extraordinary nurse, Carolyn, who went above and beyond helping ny grandmother get settled and showing us around the facility. She was very hospitable with great bedside manners. We now love the gardens!!

My mother has been in two other facilities before this one. The last time she needed a skilled nursing facility, I had her transported to South Florida. She was not happy at either of the two prior facilities. The gardens, seems to be under new management and it really really shows. I have never seen a better trained facility. Their therapy gymnasium, had many older people and some younger ones, doing rehabilitation work in such an enthusiastic manner. I've seen regular gyms with less of a good vibe. In addition to this, it is almost impossible to pass by someone that doesn't smile at you. I absolutely have a relative there now. I'm not affiliated with this place in any way. As far as nursing homes and skilled nurse facilities go, this is a true gem. Even the doctors that make their rounds, were better than doctors making their rounds at other facilities. A - Z is the absolute best and they should be proud of a job well done.

I've been here 3 weeks now recovering from a broken hip. I would like to recognize those who have provided such great care, starting with Tasha, Dir. Of Nursing, who has listened to my every concern and has done her best to resolve the issues. To the great CNA's who care for me each day: Johana, Ingrid, Linda, Theresa, Donna, Latrice, but especially Rachel my overnight CNA who greets us with a smile and cheery attitude, who meets our need professional, leaves the room clean before she says goodbye in the morning, and makes me feel like I can take on a new day. Lori my great wound care nurse, thank you for taking such great care of me. To Nurses Rebecca, Patricia and Annie I thank you. To my Rehab staff, Chris and Denise who push me to limits I didn't know I had, thank you. And last but not least Gary and his Maintenance Dept who have repaired every room issue I've brought to his attention. The Gardens is not a 5 star hotel, but they are doing their best to make my stay comfortable. Dietary Manager, Frank Amaturo has improved some meals in the 2 weeks since I'm here, but his kitchen staff is not consistent with preparing the trays, condiments are missing, food is missing, food is switched all the time, if soup is on the menu, my roommate gets it, I don't,even though we're both on a regular diet. And Frank, why do we NEVER get our roll with margarine? And again why are you giving residents the weekly menu schedule if you never stick to the plan or short change food on our tray, is it because of poor planning ahead when ordering food supplies. With a few changes and better instruction and management of your staff, I know you can do better!! The Residents need their Rolls and Margarine!!!!!

My grandma was sent to the gardens for rehab after doing 18days at coastal rehab. Let me tell you how impressed I’ve been since she got here!!! All her CNAs especially rashara smith, has been wonderful and so helpful always so nice and respectful, whatever she needs they get it. Her night nurse Jaylynn has also been so sweet and caring to my Nan.Even the lady in admissions Larita was awesome! The gym is big and they have a lot of equipment. The therapist come to get my Nan for PT, & OT therapy. They have bingo and other activities. The place is clean and the food isn’t so bad. My grandma means the world to me and I feel comfortable leaving her under their care.

From the moment my husband arrived from the hospital to this place, he was very sick, he was septicemic and close to organs shutting down down to getting stronger. Needed therapy for walking again. We were told it was like a new place because of hurricane damage. Well my husband was at the opposite end of the front. The walls are damaged and the toilet seat looks like it been on since the 1900’s not to mention the bed looks like it's a youth bed. My husband is 228lbs he barely fits and we had to put pillows under sheet so his arms don't fall off the bed! There's more but I'm sure you're getting the picture, its only the first day!
