Key Review Excerpts
“My mother was there less than 2 months. They don't answer the phone. And when they do staff is rude. She was not changed for more than 4 hours and a time and the attendants were rude to her and family.”
“My mom spent three weeks at the Villages for Rehab after her 3 months in the hospital. I will say the staff was warm and welcoming, and the administration worked hard to fulfill my moms needs and ours. The physical therapy there did a lot for mom.”
“My brother was there for 10 months. The care was minimal. He would lay in his own vomit for hours waiting for the staff to clean him up. He would have to beg for help.”
