The care that my mom is being given at Venetian Care & Rehab Center is amazing. From the physical therapists, nurses, doctors and staff; they all have been very attentive to my mom and all handle themselves in a professional manner with constant communication about her care and progress. The facility is extremely clean and well staffed. My mom always eats all her food, commenting how very good it tastes, and that’s coming from a picky eater. I would not hesitate to recommend Venetian to anyone needing rehabilitation for themselves or a family member.

What a fabulous community! It was truly a pleasure spending the afternoon with the amazing, vibrant, and engaging team at Venetian Care & Rehabilitation Center. From the Administrator to every member of the staff, everyone was incredibly welcoming, kind, and dedicated. The positive energy throughout the community was evident, and it was clear how much the team genuinely cares about their residents and one another. A special thank you to Valeria, Allison, and Maryann for the warm welcome and for helping make the Summer Fun Ice Cream Social such a wonderful event. Their hospitality and teamwork made the afternoon truly memorable. Thank you to the entire team for your compassion, commitment, and the outstanding care you provide every day. It was an honor to celebrate with you. Keep up the amazing work!

Run don’t walk away from this den of incompetence! My Dad went to the Venetian after a 2 month stay in the hospital for physical and occupational therapy. We were told he would be receiving an hour PT and an hour OT . Well they group those two sessions together with a total of approximately 45 min 5 days a week. Let me now switch to the nursing and aids. There were a few exceptions, of course, but the majority of Nursing staff employees were unable to do the most basic duties expected. My dadneeded to be fed , That task was obviously too complicated for the employees at the Venetian. He was basically starving to death. The nursing alert button, which was his only lifeline to get help when needed was often placed well out of reach of my father who is bedridden and unable to move, but then again, pressing that wasn’t the solution either the nurses often ignored it. I spent many hours with my father and the average response time was approximately 35 minutes. Care and compassion? many of the nurses and aids were belligerent and confrontational when asked a simple question regarding my father‘s care. They seem to resent the fact that he actually had a visitor who cared. And last, and certainly not least what will be the cause of his death is he went into the Venetian clear of any infection he left the Venetian had to be rushed to the hospital with full-blown sepsis that was not detected by any of the staff. If anything I’m saying here sounds unbelievable. I can provide pictures and nanny cam footage. Do not put anyone you love or care for in this hell hole.

I’m not physically there, so everything I know and feel comes through my mother—but even from a distance, I can sense the peace in her voice. The way she speaks about everything now is softer, calmer, and filled with relief, and that alone tells me how much has changed. Seeing that weight lifted from her heart means more to me than I can explain. And when I video chat with my grandmother and see the happiness in her eyes and the comfort in her smile, it reassures me in a way nothing else could. Even miles away, I can feel that she’s finally safe, cared for, and at peace. That sense of calm travels straight to my heart, bringing me comfort, gratitude, and a deep sense of love that stays with me long after the call ends. Special thanks to Danielle for making it all possible, she is our angel in human form this Christmas 🎄🙏🏼♥️

Danielle Cisnero was truly a blessing during one of the most stressful times for our family. She helped me gather all the information needed to move my mother, Cristina, out of a horrible facility and into this one. From the very beginning, I explained the poor care my mom was receiving and the unacceptable conditions she was living in, and Danielle immediately stepped in with compassion and determination. She guided me step by step, stood by my side, and helped me contact the health insurance company as well as the previous nursing administration, who unfortunately kept giving me false information and the runaround to delay the transfer. Through it all, Danielle remained incredibly professional and knowledgeable, but most of all she was sweet, compassionate, patient, and loving. She never gave up until my mom was finally transferred safely. Her dedication meant more to me than words can express. In just a couple of days at Venetian, my mom has already received multiple evaluations to help her get the care and support she truly deserves. She is playing bingo, singing along, enjoying the activities, and absolutely loves the food. Most importantly, she feels cared for and happy. The staff has been nothing but kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. I am forever grateful to Venetian Care and to Danielle, Vicky, and the entire staff. Danielle went above and beyond to make sure both my mom and I felt supported, heard, and at peace. Thank you for giving my mother the quality of life she deserves and for treating her with the dignity, love, and respect every family hopes for.
