    Mostly excellent care with concerns

    I've mostly had excellent experiences here - the CNAs, nurses, DON and administration were kind, hardworking and kept us updated; the building is very clean, family-oriented, therapy is strong and my loved one was comfortable. That said, there are troubling reports of unresponsive or careless staff, spotty management follow-up, occasional neglect (sores/hygiene), inconsistent food/activities and a few abusive incidents. I recommend this facility but urge families to visit, ask about staffing and oversight, and closely monitor care.

    About Palms Care Center

    Palms Care Center offers 24/7 registered nurse care with short-term skilled rehab services, which include physical, occupational, and speech therapy provided right on site in a fully-equipped rehabilitation center where residents get individual treatment programs from experienced therapists, and these programs aim to help folks recover and go back home after being in the hospital. Residents get medication management, housekeeping, and laundry, so regular needs are taken care of, plus there's a social services team that helps families during transitions and throughout stays, and you always see professionally staffed nursing care, both for short-term and longer stays if someone needs them. Residents can stay in large rooms with baths and showers, or in the short stay unit, which is set up with televisions, telephones, and newly renovated rooms so recovery feels as calm and homelike as possible with a warm, pleasant atmosphere that really helps with healing. The center's common areas and activity room have a 52-inch flat screen TV with cable, DVD, and CD for group events or simply visiting, and the residents lounge brings people together for socializing.

    When it comes to food, residents have private meal options and lively dining areas to bring comfort, and if they want some fresh air, there are outdoor spaces that include a covered walkway, patio, picnic tables, a white gazebo, and plenty of green lawn where folks can enjoy time outside. The waiting area looks inviting with blue seating and modern décor, and everything stays clean and comfortable indoors. Speech therapy helps residents with communication, swallowing, and thinking skills, and occupational therapy fits everyday tasks so residents can manage what they need in daily life, all guided by the team that's dedicated to recovery and support. There are on-site beauty and barber services, and the staff keeps amenities running day or night so care can continue without delay. The center plans activities to bring people together and make every day a bit more uplifting, and the Facebook page provides updates and helps families stay connected to what's going on at Palms Care Center.
