I want to tell you my experience with my nurse Monique Alcena and CNA's Juliana Brito and Ebony Santiago Monique was my nurse was friendly with me and took care of me with my diabetic episode she did her job with love and care and me feel like I was at home as for my CNAS Juliana and Ebony they always went out of there way to make me feel comfortable they kept my room clean bed always done and if I needed anything I never had to wait long periods of time to get the help I needed and not only I experienced but other patients also had that pleasant experience and what's important to me is my CNAS made me feel loved and wanted when I felt alone without my family...Mrs Dionette Agosto room115w

I spent seven life changing months at Aviata Rehabilitation center Oakfield in Brandon FL, after my below the knee amputation, I can't put into words how much they meant to me. The staff didn't just provide care, they gave me comfort, kindness, and a sense of belonging, I will always be thankful for all the love they provided to me. I just want to say thank you everyone for all that you did to get me back into society, so I can live my life again. God bless you all.

Stephanie canales DON! I am a nurse practitioner I can say whole heartedly she’s one of the best nurses I’ve ever worked with. She really knows her stuff and keeps everything running the way it should. She makes work fun even on the hard days, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her patients, their families, and her staff. It’s rare to see someone lead the way she does. 10/10

Hi my name is Elizabeth Cruz. Recently I had a six week stay at Aviata at Oakfield in Brandon, Florida. Wanted to take the time to thank a few people who made my stay complete. Wanted to start with the nurses Jennifer and Emiole - thank you for taking care of me, making me feel comfortable and giving me my meds. The CNAs India and Annette for bringing me my first cup of coffee of the day and the laundry (oh yeah and my dentures which were found in the laundry). Alaina and Nikki from Social Services who made sure I was a happy comper and things were running smoothly. Tamia the awesome receptionist who always welcomed my visitors with a smile and the entire staff for their services. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Think twice before sending anyone here! The only good people here are the people at the front. Once you walk through the security door, you’re greeted with a highly foul smell. The nurses have no genuine care for the patients and visitors. They mistreated both my grandparents and their roommates. The treatment here doesn’t really work as well, as both my grandparents stay ended with a trip to the hospital. I’ve read many bad reviews in the past and it seems like no one’s addressed many issues, or changed anything. Overall, don’t recommend this place.
