I am more than 100% satisfied with the care my husband receive!!! Thank you so much Sarasota Memoria!!!

Absolutely wonderful hospital. I was looking at some of the reviews of this hospital and I'm…read morecompletely shocked at some of the ratings. I'll start by saying they have valet parking when you come to this hospital for regular visit or for ER visit I had to go to the ER Thought I was having a heart attack or stroke. They got me immediately back ran a ton of test for two days kept me for observation overnight. It was a complete team approach and I was very very very impressed. The other time that I was at this hospital was recently when my friends daughter gave birth. The entire process the entire team did a fantastic job. Communication was amazing. Their procedures and policies were very modern and up-to-date. After the birth and in the room, the baby never left the room or the mother side or should I say site they had a lot of educational resources and made sure that the Mom understood many things about being a mother what to do in the early days, taking care of a baby. There was a lot of education a lot of communication and a real desire to help the mom take care of the baby the way, the mom wanted to have things done. They were very respectful and very attentive. I could go on and on and on, but after having experience in other hospitals, I can't say this is absolutely the best hospital I've ever been in a reserved service from.

Multiple life threatening hypoglycemic events necessitating hospitalization, all the while keeping her on diabetes medication when we asked repeatedly to please confirm discontinued. In addition pain medicine abruptly DC by MD upon admission. It was a disgrace and she died within approximately two months. I feel confident she would have lived longer if I would have chosen a better healthcare environment. I believe if the assigned physician was more familiar, involved, proactive my mom would be alive and thriving today. But sadly she was none of that. Despite being there daily, not a single communication or condolence following her death.

This place is not fit for animal. The nursing stuff clearly do not like their job and the stuff seems unwilling to remove bathroom trash untill early morning. When even the trash was leaking they did not call cleaner and there I was only wearing soaks walking on the floor to the bed Sheet ! How horrible is that! I wish I read the reviews I went there after a knee surgery and I ended with an infection on the wound I do not understand why the nurse insisted of changing my dressing Inspite I did not want her to touch it but I had no choice.

They were the only ones that kept me informed of how my mother was doing. It is now been a week and her equipment that the social worker said was going to arrive last Thursday has never gotten to her independent care. He doesn't return my phone calls, his name is Tony. Also I do not recommend this place and I would never send my mother there again.

My father has been at Hawthorne twice for short-term rehab and twice for outpatient physical…read moretherapy. There's a reason we've gone back: Their skilled nursing section for short-term rehab is on par with other local centers PLUS their physical therapists and equipment are top-notch. If you read a bunch of reviews, please consider that skilled nursing is a type of facility that will AUTOMATICALLY get bad reviews. No one wants to be there, right? It's not an Airbnb. There are clients with widely varying needs, some more urgent. Everyone seems to want everything as if they are the only patient, but staff can only handle one patient at a time...no matter what facility. Take a look. No facility gets many 5 stars with no 1 or 2 stars. Understand short-term rehab is in many regards what you make of it. If you stubbornly refuse to get out of bed, you're going to get bedsores. Yes, even at home. Particularly with the elderly who have fragile skin. There's something called "personal responsibility" that the client and their family need to employ. Short-term rehab is not a place to dump your loved one and ignore them. I didn't. My mom didn't. We were there daily and made sure things were good. Overall, they were. As such we were on a friendly and first name basis with Tim, Leo, Lindsey, Barbara and Jackie, etc. They were always responsive to our needs and answered our questions. Organized. Smart. Hard-working. Communicated perfectly. Your loved one is there because you cannot do at home what they can at a skilled-nursing short-term rehab. They have people who can lift your heavy loved one out of bed, get them showered and dressed, take their meds, and get them to their PT sessions. Plus, they have to deal with all kinds of personality issues of grumpy old people in pain who are thankless, miserable folk. 24/7. They're in pain and don't want to be there. Forgivable. For people with kindness and gratitude, Hawthorne was wonderful. At least they were to us. True, the food is average institutional food designed to meet many needs. Sometimes we brought him Chick-fil-A or McDonalds because he wanted it instead. That's okay. Not against any rules. It is not perfect, call buttons need to be faster, but realism says that if the call response was faster, there are people who abuse it, calling every 5 seconds. A few more staff would be nice, but realistically speaking, vetting staff for a thankless job is a complicated process. It was clean and had activities and a beautiful courtyard where we sat and enjoyed picnic lunches with my dad. My grandkids even came to have lunch there. All this to say, believe the other reviews or believe me. Or both. Short-term rehab is largely what you make of it.
