My mom thought Water's Edge Health Care, Rehabilitation was wonderful. The therapists were great, the nurses very attentive, and Donna the activities director is wonderful. The whole team was outstanding. I am posting this for my mother who stayed there for 5 weeks.

Both my aunt and grandmother reside at Waters Edge. I am very grateful for the peace of mind knowing they are well cared for. They love the activities and the staff have become extended family.

My 83 year old mom was there for 49 days due to an inoperable broken ankle and was confined to a wheelchair. She has a complicated list of medical issues and long list of daily medicines. We were so happy with the level of care and the personalized, genuinely kind, attention that she received. Everyone did their part to make the whole process easier for my mom. Since she was there for so long, I also got the opportunity to see how they cared for the other patients too. It was loving to see their kindness and respect to the patients who did not have family there to support them. The whole staff works together as a team. I liked the consistency of the same nursing & aides staffing in her wing so everyone was familiar with each of the patient’s needs. Special thanks to nurse Nordia, who was my go to for everything! I know I am forgetting many names (especially the night shift staff), but thank you to nurses Wilmine & Ashlee & Sandra, Lori at the front desk, Pam on wound care, and all the aides: Inovia, MIchele, Jean, Sadilia and Jean. In PT: Jill, Diana, & Jason were motivating and supportive, Tara in food delivery who opened all lids for my mom, June in housekeeping who talked to mom everyday, and social worker Susana and Dr Lowery. You all made a hard time, much better for her and gave her family peace of mind!

Be assured Water’s Edge Health and Rehabilitation in Palm City FL is a superior Medicare- approved, skilled-nursing facility specializing in senior care.

A positive healing spirit permeates the gathering areas, hallways, and private or semi-private suites inside Water’s Edge Health and Rehabilitation. Linda Kay Nalley was a patient at Water’s Edge Health and Rehabilitation February 18 - March 13, 2025 following 20-days of hospitalization for treatment of Coronavirus, asthma, and uncontrolled hypertension. Vitals were routinely monitored; medication schedule was adhered to; delicious, nutritious breakfast/lunch/dinner menu selections for week chosen by patient; one-on-one physical therapy sessions; group activities; and a reasonable treatment regime provided coordinated rhythm. Patient’s health steadily improved. Uncontrolled BP stabilized thanks to introduction of a new medication. Patient’s experience rated superb in every category!

I had spent a month there, recovering from a non-displaced femur fracture. The administrative staff, the nursing staff and the food services were top notch. The physical therapists and occupational therapists were experts in their respective fields. A special rave review for Hyacinth, the best CNA that I had ever experienced in any facility that I had ever been in. This facility is situated on the beautiful Sand Hill Cove Retirement Living complex in Palm City Florida. I had a great view from my private room. My wife had selected this facility from several offered by the Case Worker at Encompass, an acute care facility. What a great choice!!
