Palm Garden of Orlando

Palm Garden of Orlando sits at 654 N Econlockhatchee Trail in Orlando, and folks seem to think well of it, as it holds a review score of 9.7 from 14 reviews, and when you walk in you'll find wide, bright indoor common areas, a lounge, a game room, and spots for outdoor enjoyment with walking paths and an inviting courtyard, and there's a beauty barber and salon too for residents who like to keep up with their grooming. The staff handles a wide range of care, including diabetic care, incontinence care, and care for folks who can no longer walk, and they focus strongly on serious medical needs, as well as skilled nursing, palliative care, and even memory care for dementia, while the therapy department offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy and has equipment like the ALTER G anti-gravity treadmill and HUR machines, so those needing rehabilitation after surgery or injury have the best shot at getting mobile again. It's a health and rehabilitation center that tries to cover a lot, offering rehab, restorative programs, skilled care, adult day care, respite options, and even home health care, and people get help with outpatient therapy bookings if they just need to drop in now and then. The unit options include both private and semi-private rooms with their own private bathrooms, and every unit has an emergency call system, so folks can get help quick if anything goes wrong, and the place is set up with wheelchair access, restrooms, air conditioning, outdoor seating, parking for customers, and WiFi. Staff speak English, Spanish, and Creole, which helps everyone feel understood, and many have worked at Palm Garden for over 12 years, showing some real stability and commitment, and residents seem to feel that the staff show love, kindness, and attention, with a real focus on helping each person as an individual. Activities include onsite devotional sessions and all sorts of life enrichment programs, plus group social outings and off-site activities when residents want a change of scenery, and every day, except for weekends and holidays, mail is brought right to the residents, and anyone who can't visit can use the "Send a Greeting" feature instead. The dining here follows a restaurant-style approach, and the aim with the therapy programs and skilled nursing services is to help each person regain independence and safely return home if possible, using a team approach with a group of professionals creating a personalized plan for each resident. The place keeps admissions straightforward, with a concierge easing the hospital-to-rehab move, and insurance plans like Medicare and Medicaid are accepted for therapy costs. Visitation is open to families and friends, with clear signs posted for safety after hours, and everyone's encouraged to wear loose, comfortable clothes during therapy to help them get back on their feet.
