My aunt is pleased with the staff members who care for her. She is comfortable and secure. Her only complaint was fish on the menu. She doesn’t eat fish.

I have been in the The Palatka Center for Rehabilitation and Healing since October 8/9 and have never been taken care of better before. I transferred her from the equally Awesome Putnam County Hospital due to a serious blood infection. The entire Staff has been professional, friendly, thorough in my care, attentive to my needs, understanding, knowledgeable, welcoming and always smiling and helpful no matter what. I was put in Isolation for the first 16 days, but that didn't deter any of the care I have received. I've learned even more from the staff here on how to make changes in my daily life to take better care of myself and my health. I cannot stress enough how Awesome the entire Staff is here from Housekeeping, the CNA's, Nursing Staff, the Therapists, The Department Heads to the Director of The Center as a whole. Thank You, Thank You, THANK YOU - You have All made me a Better Person.
