The property appears to be clean, neat and well maintained. I particularly enjoyed the art displayed on the walls. I noticed a beautiful original oil painting of a Great Blue Heron in room 304.

This facility is truly outstanding. They make you feel as though your loved one is their only patient. They pay very close attention to the daily changes in their patients and work hard to help them to improve. I cannot say enough about the physical therapy team, where other physical therapy groups essentially wrote my mother off, the team at Palm Gardens encouraged her and shared in the accomplishments in movement and exercise that my mother was able to reach. They were a very positive influence on her and for that I am extremely grateful. We have found the doctors, nurses and staff at Palm Gardens to exhibit the perfect combination of kind and caring hearts coupled with absolute top notch medical skills and professionalism across the board. When your loved one is at Palm Gardens you can rest assured that they are receiving the very best care possible. The facility is very clean and the food is excellent, offering patients many options. I would highly recommend Palm Gardens.

I had a very nice tour of Palm Garden in Gainesville, looking for a rehab and perhaps long term care facility for my father-in-law. My friendly tour guide was Princess and she did an excellent job of showing me the key features of the facility and examples of the different types of rooms. I was impressed by the two rehab gyms and saw all the expected equipment and several machines I had not seen before. This looks like a good place for short term rehab and a real possibility for long term care.

The employees at Palm Gardens were very kind and helpful. Upon entering the facility, entering is only if receptionist opens the door. A photo is taken of all visitors at the kiosk. Good security. I was there to sing and visit. The residents of Palm Gardens were pleased to sing along with our singing group. The halls and dinning area were clean and free of clutter. It wasn’t overly loud.
