Staff is insanely rude. They never fail to display their disrespect and shocking lack of compassion. All there for a check!!!

Well I was a patient for 11 months this is December 4th 2025 I left there on November 30th because the staff would never help and when it came to stuff we needed they were always out of. I was in a room where the bathroom toilet stayed stopped up and they expected you to pee and poop on top of someone else's . I wouldn't recommend my worst enemy to stay in that place.

Employees smoke weed all the time outside, leaving trash everywhere, building is not clean, and pest control issues all the time. Employees always have an attitude when you need help.

I wouldn’t put my worst enemy in Parklands’s Care Center in Gainsville Florida. They are infested with roaches, they do not abide by state regulations, they don’t keep rooms clean or keep rooms stocked with what with basic things that the residents need, they Lose the residence personal things and don’t even try to find them. They rather just pay to have it replaced then have somebody look for it. My loved one woke up at night to a roach crawling on their face. They didn’t send my loved one out by Different times when they should have been sent out by ambulance to the hospital. After checking on their background, found out that they’ve had lawsuits against them and lost. The place should be bulldoze down and never allowed to cooperate again..

It has taken me some time to be able to sit down and write a review about this facility for many reasons. My mother had been admitted into this facility, initially for short term rehab, but due to dementia, it was decided that she would reside her long term. One night I received a call from the charge nurse, who advised me that they were going to send my mother to Shands for an evaluation after what appeared to be a suicide attempt. “Appeared to be” is key, remember I mentioned the diagnosis of Dementia, and this being 9-9:30pm, my mother would have been well into sundowning. I immediately went to the emergency department to find out what was going on. My mother was confused, however denied any suicidal ideation. The hospital, acting as they should, placed her under a Baker’s Act, and admitted her into their behavioral health facility for a psychiatric evaluation. Secondary to Dementia, it was unclear whether or not there was a positive S/I. When it came time for Shands to discharge my mother, Parkland refused her re-admittance, stating they could not accept a patient who attempted suicide. Obviously, this caused everyone to scramble trying to figure out what to do with my mother. I was unable to care for her safely due to working, there were no other relatives available to assist, accompanied by facility availability and insurance. My mother was ultimately placed in a facility almost 4 hours away. What Parkland did, was ultimately rob me of time with my mother. They also caused the one thing to happen that my mother feared the most…. Dying alone. Why did she die alone? Because I was 4 hours away when I received the call that my mother was rapidly deteriorating, and I could not get to the facility fast enough. Parkland, I sure hope you’re proud of yourselves. To anyone reading this, please reconsider sending your loved one to this facility. Speculation can easily steal time away from you as well.
