Awful my father in law was not taking care of. They didn't follow the poa orders and let another person make health decisions

Do NOT use this facility. Our experience was a nightmare. Issues were numerous and most significant was receiving the wrong medication (someone else's) to being verbally attacked by the social worker who was offended that methods were being questioned.

Nightmare and horrendous conditions. Worst place, non existent nursing staff that yell constantly to communicate with other so called medical professionals

I really like this facility; they have the friendliest staff out of any skilled rehab facility I've been to. I feel like my loved one is well taken care of and I am always greeted with respect and hospitality. Location is great too and convenient for me to visit! Great job, team, Harborview Sarasota
