What this means for your family
While the physical therapy department at Atlantic Shores is frequently praised for its effectiveness, the facility has a recurring pattern of severe understaffing and poor nursing response times. If you choose this facility, we strongly advise that you visit frequently to monitor your loved one's hygiene and medical needs, as multiple reviewers reported that basic care tasks were neglected without family intervention.

Recurring complaints highlight significant understaffing, slow response times to call buttons, and poor hygiene standards, which have led to multiple emergency hospitalizations for residents.

Key Review Excerpts
“The therapy department is top notch, the staff is kind and friendly and the facility is clean and maintained well.”
“My sister was recently a patient after having a total ankle replacement. She is 66 years old, alert and oriented. She was not treated with dignity or respect during her stay. She was there for 5 days before she ever received a shower.”
“My mother was discharged from AdventHealth in Orlando and ordered into rehabilitation. I selected Atlantic Shores for her and it was the best decision we could have made. Her physical therapy and occupational therapy were top-notch.”
