Life Care Center of Ocala

Russell and Angie

My husband was at Life Care Center for rehabilitation for 2 months and got excellent care. The staff is wonderful with many shining stars in all departments and job descriptions. Our very favorite Nurse is Melissa G. who went above and beyond in her duties and treatment of my husband. She is the epitome of what a valuable Nurse should be. She is kind, considerate, emapthetic and caring. This in not only to her patients but also to the family members. Any time I had a question or concern about my husband she immediately stopped everything and helped me. My husband and I truly love her and she will be forever in our hearts. I will always recommend Life Care Center to everyone I know because of someone like Melissa. Life Care is very fortunate to have her. She is one very skilled nurse and wonderful person!!!!!!!!!

My grandmother has been at the Life Care Center of Ocala for almost a month now. This facility has been awesome. Everybody worked together to get her back into a healthy state. She was not walking and now she has exceeded our expectations of what she can do and she has finished rehab quicker than they expected. Everybody is very loving and attentive to her. She loves it there. Her room is comfortable. It is built in a way where she can move about with her walker as well as a wheelchair, and she's not in a situation where she can fall. She's assisted and well taken care of. They check on her daily, so she's not alone and lonely. They make sure that her room is clean. I haven't seen an issue at all when it comes to the upkeep of the building. They have spaces for them where they can do their crossword puzzles. They have a library, an ice cream parlor, and other common areas. They keep them well-fed. They have a menu that you're allowed to check what you want for the whole week, and they make sure they have the options for you. They're doing good with the food.

I've been in the Life Care Center of Ocala for two-and-a-half months now and I need more continued assistance. This place is very well equipped. It has a quarantine section and a long-term section. It's a big place. It's got over 200 beds and different aisles, and depending upon your problem, they kind of put those people together. I need a lot of help and whatnot. The food is quite good and the physical therapy is excellent. Everybody's having trouble getting help, but they dovetail with one another and people come in on the spur of the moment. That's a good sign they like working here. I can eat all of my lunch here. You select a week before and then they try to follow. We choose what they offer and most likely, if you circled the right thing, you'll get it. If you forget to circle something and it looks like you need some more, they'll substitute something. They always have three kinds of soup, salads, and meat. We have fish, chicken, beef, and a wonderful pork roast. For a large organization and they are well serving so many people, it's good food. They have different kinds of potatoes and sweet potatoes. They try to balance the meal out. They're in here cleaning every day. They serve ice cream twice a week at the ice cream parlor, popcorn another day, bingo, and card games. It's a nicely laid out place. They're very expensive, unfortunately. If your insurance will cover it, it's fine, but if your insurance runs out or you don't have insurance, it would be very expensive to be here. My insurance ran out last week and that's why I have to look for another place because I can't afford it. They give a lot of free stuff to us, supplies and things. I came here with nothing and I've got toothpaste, deodorant, cream, and shampoo, your bedding, and everything. That's all good. It's a 25-year-old place. It's not brand new.

I was in LifeCare Center back in Dec 2018, I found it very stressful,,, {!st} I was told I could only take a shower every other day, which I found out that was not true,, .. when they took me to get a shower, I told them I was not to get my wound wet, per doctor orders,,, But because it had a plastic film on the top, she argued with me that it would be ok,, I told her she needed to contact the drs office, but, she said it was ok,, When I got back in the room, I called the Dr.and they confirmed that I was not suppose to get it wet at ALL... the DR. CALLED THE COMPLEX AND A HEAD NURSE ,adminstrator, , had to change the bandage.. I was also Suppose to drink alot of water, and I did,, but I had to run down someone constantly to get water...I only spent 2 days there, and went home.. The physical therapy part of it was great,,, but, did not like the nursing facility.very stressful....Had to beg for a pillow,, until my roommate gave me one..But she was in there from being sick, so then i had to ask for a pillow case..I felt I could do better at home with homecare recovery..

Nursing care was great and food was good. Case Worker/ Social Services support for the family is practically non-existent. Family Members are left in the dark and given little assistance. Phone calls are seldom returned.

I had a family members there and we actually had to take them out due to the administration and the front office employees worried more about their position and their licenses. They would allow residents that were combative towards the cnas amd other residemts to stay at the facility. My grandmother was.harmed by the other resident. They would hire on help that would either not stay due to the circumstances of the facility or they did not want a guilty conscience. So please think of other places before coming here.
