I feel the staff at Royal Care are caring and attentive to our needs and treat us with respect and courtesy. They are well-informed about the patient needs. Would highly recommend this facility for rehabilitation.

My friend who was rehabbing from total hip replacement was at the Palms of Sebring and treated so badly she checked herself out, a no no. Couldn’t handle the abuse there! She’s at Royal Care now and getting the rehab she hoped for! I would recommend this nursing facility!

Do not take your loved one here. We had a terrible experience. A patient in a wheelchair opened the door for us at 10 at night and sopposefully they have security. The staff is not even aware of the care that my mother needed. Hours later and they had not even given my mom her medication because one they didn't have it and two the nurse said she had 17 patients. Please don't take any one there.

My mother was recently at Royal Care for rehab. I can’t speak on other areas but her stay and recovery was a pleasant one. Everyone that she interacted with truly appeared to care about her recovery and the Director over rehab took the time to explain what we should expect during my mother’s time there. I recommend Royal Care to anyone looking for care for their loved one.
