It was much less that I had hoped for and even less for what I'd expected. In no particular order I will give details of the horrors you might expect. Keep in mind that for an older person with terminal issues this might have been much better, but I was probably the youngest in the facility and only needed P.T., not nursing. I had a multiple-occupancy room (read semi-private, two patients) that had a TV each but both TVs were controlled with the same coded remote. When I would turn mine off or on or changed the channel or volume level, his would change, too, and vice-versa. It had a bathroom much smaller that any Motel 6 I'd even been in. It had belt-sander quality toilet paper. And there was no shower... only a bi-weekly schedule to go down to the "spa" always with a nurse or assistant who did their best impression of Nurse Rachet (controlling the shower hose, freezing temps, dumping handfuls of shampoo on my hair, all while seated in one of their rolling PVC shower seats. I am not a xenophobe, but when all of the staff speaks loud Creole in your presence and only barely try to speak English when they address you, I find it disturbing and off-putting. The P.T. "gym" looked more like an adult kindergarten, including match-the-shape games. The silicone rubber bands they used for muscle-strengthening made me think that I was in Joe's Garage and Kindergarten. The staff seemed more interested in whistling to 80's tunes or talking about their next meal plans than focusing on the P.T. The entire facility reminded me of a stalog; it took the door code of the day to exit a door to the outside. This might be effective against dementia patients wandering off, but I was clearly with all of my senses and it would have been nice to sit for awhile outdoors listening to the quite sounds of traffic... It took the kitchen/nutrition staff 9 days to finally get my food orders correct. I make the majority of my meals fresh and raw. So instead of blindly opting in for the lemmings' fare of heated canned food, I spent entirely too much time getting them to make me salads and sandwiches. And why are we still wearing traditional hospital gowns? It made more sense back when most of our medicines were hypodermics in the buttocks, but they have got to go. They provide no protection, they never fit, and the ties get knotted up. My assigned doctor was on vacation when I was admitted and never returned during my 10-day visit. Their inter-departmental communications were horrible, with me often repeating the same set of information to many staff members who should have shared it. I hope this will guide you towards selecting a better nursing home/rehab experience than I had.

For anyone who wants to read details of an adult-child experience losing a parent: My mother…read moreendured weeks of poor care at HealthPark Hospital (Ft. Myers) and terrible care at The Terraces (Bonita Springs) before my sister and I made the difficult decision to admit our mother to Avow Hospice in Naples. Thank god someone told us that Avow had just started admitting patients from Lee Country, and thank God a bed was available. Mom was quite suddenly at the end of her life, and we were unprepared to set up proper home care. Mom said she was glad when she arrived at Avow, and the next day she told us she felt the nurses cared about her. Thank you, Avow, for making Mom--and our family--feel safe and supported. They also gave her a drug that truly eased her suffering without causing her to be completely sedated. However, I did clash with one nurse who wanted to increase the dose right away and who implied I wanted to keep my mother alert when she needed to have pain relief. Other nurses and supervisors agreed to a lower dose. I know it's not easy to make these determinations, but don't be afraid to question what's happening and speak to whoever is in charge at the moment. I respect the expertise of health care professionals, yet every nurse will have their own preferences. Prior to Mom's arrival at Avow, she spent weeks at HealthPark hospital and 10 days at The Terraces. Care at The Terraces was just horrible, even when I was right there in the room. This facility is seriously understaffed, and I do feel sorry for the nurses, who are being put in a bad position. (Avoid this place if your loved one is very ill but being discharged and sent to rehab. It might be ok for someone there to rehab from a knee replacement.) Care at HealthPark was more frequent but still poor. My main complaint is lack of compassion, kindness, and professionalism at these places. I know it's easy to find fault, and I know understaffing is a serious problem. and yet health care is a higher calling and sick people deserve attention and care. I say all of this in order to compliment Avow, the only hospice I can report on. Nurses came frequently, they were compassionate to Mom and us. Thank you. Kindness was abundant and staff respected the gravity of the situation. My sister and I were impressed by the priest who made rounds. He was personal, and he wanted to know all about Mom's life. He wasn't put off when we told him that none of us, including Mom, still went to mass, and he didn't pressure us to do anything. I like to think Mom was comforted by the last rites he provided. Why not a 5 star review? A couple reasons: the TV/cable sitution is not great. This might sound unimportant, but my mother was awake and alert two evenings and wanted to watch TV. She said this. But there were many issues with the clicker, settings, and stations. Several staff tried to trouble shoot, but no one could solve the problems. Several stations were on the guide but not subscribed to, including, Turner Classic Movies, a channel that would provide a lot of comfort and familiarity to many patients. Another complaint is about follow through: during the one afternoon Mom was totally aware, she asked for her bed to be wheeled outside on the lanai. The nurse said she had to do something and would be right back but didn't return. So Mom never got to view the beautiful lake. Finally, the night Mom died, my sister and I felt pressured to call a funeral home immediately and to leave quickly. We felt we didn't have enough time with our mother and to gather up our things. It was the middle of the night, so I really don't understand why everything had to happen so quickly. We were in shock, devastated, and shouldn't have even been driving. Despite my criticisms, I believe the Avow facility is excellent and the staff are great. I am glad we brought Mom to the Naples location. I've also received many texts offering to provide support, and I appreciate that, too. I hope some of the shortcomings I've pointed out will be addressed for future patients and their loved ones.

Plain and simple: the level of care provided here is not commensurate with the exorbitant costs…read more After a brief hospital stay and at the recommendation of a physician, an elderly male relative was placed in their skilled nursing section. We chose this location partially because of prior experience with the facility (a different relative receiving rehabilitation services years ago) and partially because this was the only location that had an opening at the time. During the 3-month period that this male relative was here, he experienced two severe falls. The second fall required a trip to the emergency room, and even though a POA was on file, no relative was notified of this until a visit to him 7 hours after the incident revealed an empty room. He was not dressed when taken to the ER (they actually brought him clothed only in his underwear). Staff knew nothing of the whereabouts of his eyeglasses, despite the fact that he literally cannot see without them. Multiple demands for the reason for non-notification yielded responses that the facility was short-staffed or that staff was not "required" to notify the relative who has POA. When pressed about the whereabouts of his eyeglasses, we were told that they weren't in his room and, after all, he didn't have them the day before - yikes! We had to drive from the ER back to Renaissance at The Terraces to attempt to locate them, only to find the glasses literally on the floor next to his bed - and his bed had been completely stripped. We're lucky that the glasses weren't stepped on and crushed! Absolutely unacceptable. Upon his return from the ER, wounds he received as a result of the fall failed to heal appropriately. We would tend to these wounds, but since this was the skilled nursing section of the facility, it was our belief that staff should have been tending to them as well. We watched this relative sink deeper and deeper into depression, as he clearly wasn't feeling well and nearly the only human interaction he had was when he had family visiting him. During the multiple times I personally was there, not once did any staff member whatsoever ever set foot in his room. Also, absolutely unacceptable. Even though a large sign was placed in the room stating that "Family does laundry," multiple times personal items went missing because they were laundered at the facility. This required us to literally hound the supervisor to locate these items, which eventually showed back up in his room several days later with no explanation. I subsequently spent to the good part of an afternoon in his room hand sewing name labels on every piece of personal clothing or blankets in his possession. Part of the issues here are a result of our inability to speak or understand Creole. It's a true liability when a patient (or their family) cannot communicate with nurses and aides that are entrusted with their care. As soon as we were able to locate another facility, we moved him. He has improved by leaps and bounds, gained some weight, is walking and exercising regularly and socializing with others. What a transformation - all because we REMOVED him from Renaissance at The Terraces. If you believe your relative will receive top-notch care here due to the high cost of residence, you should reconsider your decision. In my opinion, this facility is an institutional setting with a pretty foyer that in reality provides sub-par, insufficient and inadequate care.

Review of Management and Administrative Practices…read more This review addresses a significant and highly unprofessional lapse in administrative conduct regarding the refund of a security deposit. Prospective residents and their families should consider this experience when evaluating the integrity and reliability of the management team. Unjustified Retention of Refundable Deposit We paid a fully refundable security deposit of $X as part of the initial application and holding process. Due to unforeseen changes, we withdrew our application well within the contractual period that guaranteed a full refund, as stipulated in the initial agreement signed with the facility. Despite documented contractual obligations and our formal, written request for the refund, the management has unilaterally and without legal justification refused to process the return of these funds. This is not only a breach of contract but demonstrates a profound lack of financial transparency and ethical business practice. Consistent and Unacceptable Non-Responsiveness The process of attempting to resolve this matter has been severely hampered by the management's persistent and deliberate non-responsiveness. Over the past six weeks, we have made more than ten documented attempts to contact the administrative office via phone, direct email, and certified mail. The attempts to reach the Director or any relevant financial officer have been met with silence, unanswered calls, and unreturned emails. The complete lack of communication on a serious financial matter is unacceptable. This pattern of evasion regarding a simple, contractual refund raises serious concerns about how this management team would handle critical, time-sensitive issues concerning the health and well-being of residents. In the context of long-term care, where responsive and reliable communication is paramount, this administrative failure is a severe red flag. Conclusion and Recommendation Our experience with the management has been deeply disappointing and highly unprofessional. The refusal to honor a clear, written contractual obligation for a refund, compounded by deliberate non-responsiveness, reflects poorly on the overall governance of the retirement home. We urge prospective families to scrutinize the administrative contract terms carefully and be prepared for potential financial and communicative challenges. We currently await the immediate return of our full deposit.

Our experience at Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Naples was extremely disappointing…read moreand stressful during a time when our family should have been focused on healing and recovery. Rather than feeling like individualized, patient-centered rehabilitation, much of the stay felt like a box-checking exercise. We repeatedly encountered rushed interactions, poor communication, and a lack of attention to the patient's unique needs, goals, limitations, and pain levels. As family members advocating for our loved one, we often felt dismissed rather than listened to. There were ongoing concerns regarding delayed pain medication, inadequate overnight medication management, missing or delayed safety equipment, and charting that did not always accurately reflect what was actually happening. We also felt that important information provided by the family was not always taken seriously, despite our being actively involved in the patient's care and discharge planning. One of the most frustrating aspects was the perception that facility processes and discharge timelines sometimes seemed to take priority over the patient's actual condition and readiness. We frequently had to push for appropriate equipment, services, and accommodations that should have been part of a collaborative rehabilitation plan. The therapy itself had some bright spots, and there were individual staff members who genuinely cared and tried to help. Unfortunately, those positive interactions were overshadowed by larger issues with communication, responsiveness, and overall patient-centered care. Rehabilitation is about more than completing tasks and documenting progress--it is about listening to patients and families, treating them with dignity and respect, and creating a plan that truly supports recovery. Sadly, that was not our experience. I hope this feedback leads to meaningful improvements for future patients and families.
