I visited this facility without an appointment. The facility and the staff were lovely, and you could tell they love what they do! In particular, Miss Devin took the time to talk with me about my situation with my dad. This facility has a big heart. Thank you.

Just helped move my grandmother into this place over the weekend. It’s absolutely beautiful and everyone is nice and competent and speaks English! By far the best nursing facility I’ve seen.

Ardie R. Copas Veterans' Nursing Home is a beautiful newer VA facility in Port St. Lucie with the most amazing, caring and professional people. From admissions to move in day, I’m so thankful for the care, attentiveness and love the entire staff shows to our Veterans. Truly heartwarming. Everyone we have encountered has helped to turn a very stressful time into a very peaceful and positive experience. I can’t praise this facility and the staff here enough. From the moment we walked in and sat down with Devin, I knew everything was going to be ok for our loved one. I can’t thank Devin enough for all she has helped with to make this transition so much better than we could ever hope for. With a sigh of relief and a very thankful heart 🇺🇸🎖️🪖❤️🤍💙
