My mother was there for over two weeks after being discharged from the hospital with a total hip replacement. From the minute she arrived, which was later on a Sunday night, she was welcomed and had 5 star care. The directors were always available, nurses were exceptional, nurses aides are angels from heaven, all the therapists (OT, PT, speech) were top notch. Facility was very clean. I was able to have access to my mom 24/7. When I was not there I was confident that all her needs were being met.

My elderly Mother is well taken care of and very happy here. An EXTRAORDINARILY clean place. I recommend. They are very kind and patient with the elderly. Most of all, “please show the staff kindness & appreciation, they are wonderful & have very hard jobs.” -Ms. Carter

I recently was at Palm Gardens for rehab on a shoulder injury. I was more than pleased with my care while at this facility. The place was very clean and the food was great! Most of all I have to say the staff was pleasant and so helpful. I have to give honorable mention to several of the staff that made my stay enjoyable. Two nurses that worked different shifts were so sweet and helpful was Paula and Jazmin. They helped me dress when needed and made sure my medication was available as quickly as possible when I mentioned I was in pain. My injury required therapy and helped me get stronger for sure but also made it a pleasant atmosphere each and every day! Latoya and Courtney made every day fun and always came in with a smile and I felt like they were friends as well as my therapist!! When leaving I hugged every one I could and complimented those who had given me so much help! While of course I hope I do not have future injuries that require me being in a rehab center but if I do I most definitly would chose to go back to Palm Gardens. I thank everyone for all your help and for making my stay so much less painful!

My brother is currently in long term care. The staff at this location is amazing starting from the front desk and up. Everyone takes pride in what they do to take care of the residents. I have seen so much love & care being given to him & others. He’s been at other facilities previously that didn’t take as good of care. I am so grateful that I don’t have to worry about him and I would recommend this facility to anyone.
