CareOne @ Wellington is such an amazing facility that is equipped with wonderful and caring staff members. The hands on care, attention to detail and ample information provided to myself and my loved one by the patient liaison Nannette was extremely appreciated. This was such a refreshing first time experience compared to other nursing facilities. The building is extremely clean, well kept and recently renovated. As soon as you enter the lobby you’re greeted with “new age” technology in the form of digital billboard like displays listing all of the upcoming events. You can really tell that Peter K and his maintenance team care for the grounds as if it was their own home. They also offer onsite laundry services. The food and presentation in the main dining room is like a five star and home environment combined. Being able to sit outside on their wonderful outdoor space made us feel right at home. Some other great highlights we’d like to share are the Weekly BBQs, GREAT activities throughout the day and an extremely professional and courtesy front desk secretary named Desiree. Desiree and Ameer helped to make sure we had all the details we needed to sign up for a beauty salon visit. And YES they even have a beauty salon! Nicholas from the activities department helps form a friendly and inviting environment. I guarantee that you will feel right at home when considering CareOne Wellington for your loved ones. FIVE STARS and beyond! Keep up the great work!

My friend Larry was admitted 3 weeks ago and I was so concerned about him but the way he was treated at the facility is nothing but fantastic. The nurses are wonderful and the care was excellent. The aids are exceptional and really cared about him. I would recommend Wellington to anyone. Michael in admissions has been an angel.

My mother received excellent care from the staff and therapists at Careone at Wellington. The therapists had her walking again in no time! The nurses and aides were attentive and caring. It was nice to have the patient liaison Nanette who helped get any questions I had answered in a timely manner.

I’m very grateful for the care my mom received here. She recently had a UTI in the infection prevention nurse Natasha took very good care of her. Natasha stayed on top of everything and help Make sure the infection was addressed and cleared from your system. She also communicated with me very well throughout the process and keeping me informed and reassured. The unit manager was very knowledgeable And helpful on the third floor, and I could also speak about the director of nursing. She was amazing when it came to any problems I had or anything that needed to be fixed or adjusted.

This place has a wonderful and amazing staff and nurses. My dad has stayed multiple times here and never had a issue. From the administration making sure my dad felt like home and transferred from the hospital was great service to the nurses everyday making sure he was okay and really felt like home. Im grateful to the staff to make sure my dad is making out better than ever. Physical therapy staff was amazing, able to get my dad back on his feet slowly but much better than how he arrived. Thank you to everyone.
