    Severe neglect and unsafe care

    I strongly warn others - my loved one experienced neglect and very poor care at this facility. Aides were untrained or uncaring, staff were short-staffed and distracted by phones, waits were long and patients screamed for help; nurses often missed vitals/meds, the case manager and administration were unresponsive or invisible. Meals were served at unsafe temperatures, dietary needs ignored (choking risk, dehydration, UTIs), rehab was inadequate, and rooms were dirty with pests, broken furniture and no consistent security or equipment - an AC outage left residents overheated. A few therapists and some staff were wonderful and went above and beyond, and parts of the building looked clean, but that does not make up for dangerous medical neglect and aggressive billing. Avoid this location.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the collected reviews is sharply mixed and highly polarized. A subset of reviewers describe excellent care: skilled and compassionate therapy teams, attentive nursing and aide staff who provide baths, dressing, proactive problem solving, and close communication with families. Those positive reports emphasize detailed treatment plans, supportive administrative interactions, good coordination for hospital transport, and on-site amenities like a salon. In these accounts residents made measurable progress with rehabilitation, families felt informed, and certain areas of the building (notably the front desk and some rooms) were described as clean and well-maintained.

    Conversely, a substantial number of reviews report severe and recurring problems that raise safety and quality-of-care concerns. Frequent themes include staffing shortages and inconsistent staff competence: reports of untrained or uncaring aides, nurses who appear distracted (on phones), long wait times for assistance, and markedly worse coverage on weekends. Clinical failures are described in troubling detail—missed vitals (no temperature or BP checks before meds), delayed responses to emergencies, untreated or poorly managed bedsores, dehydration, UTIs, and multiple choking incidents that led to ambulance calls and raised fears of aspiration pneumonia. Several reviewers report that expected rehabilitation was not performed or was inadequate despite the facility's reputation for therapy in other reviews, indicating a wide variability in care depending on timing, unit, or staff present.

    Facility and environmental issues are also recurrent. Multiple reviewers cited pest problems (roaches), extended air conditioning outages where staff resorted to buckets of ice and fans, and inconsistent cleanliness—some areas (front desk, specific rooms) are kept clean while other rooms are described as dirty with pests. Physical accommodations are described as small and cramped, with cheap or broken furniture and missing chairs in rooms. Outdoor spaces and courtyards have been reported as overgrown, and dining areas were called uninviting by several reviewers. Dining and nutrition concerns appear frequently: reports range from meals being praised to many complaints of poor-quality, non-nutritious food, dietary mismanagement, meals served at unsafe temperatures, and specific choking incidents related to food consistency (e.g., rice causing choking for residents with swallowing problems).

    Management and administrative patterns point to inconsistent oversight and follow-through. Several reviewers noted an absence of visible leadership (no apparent administrator or director of nursing), unresolved complaints, and what some perceived as aggressive billing practices. Communication gaps were mentioned alongside positive comments about staff who do communicate well; this suggests variability across shifts, units, or individual staff members. The combination of staffing issues, lack of consistent clinical oversight, and operational failures (equipment/supply shortages, long waits, poor weekend staffing) contributes to a pattern where outcomes depend greatly on when and where a patient is admitted and which staff are on duty.

    In summary, these reviews portray a facility with a real split: it can deliver high-quality rehabilitation and attentive care under certain conditions and with certain staff, but there are numerous and recurring reports of serious lapses in basic clinical care, safety, hygiene, and management. The most significant concerns—choking incidents, missed vital checks, potential infection risks, pest problems, prolonged AC outages, and allegations of neglect—are serious enough that prospective residents and families should exercise caution. If considering this facility, it would be prudent to: visit in person (including meal times and weekends), ask specific questions about staffing ratios and weekend coverage, verify infection-control and pest-remediation actions, request evidence of up-to-date nursing leadership and physician oversight, clarify billing policies, and seek references from recent families whose stays coincided with the time you would expect care. The variability in experiences suggests that individual evaluations and up-to-date regulatory inspection reports will be important to make an informed decision.

    About Rehabilitation Center Of The Palm Beaches

    Rehabilitation Center Of The Palm Beaches is a Skilled Nursing Facility in Florida that's owned by Florida Institute for Long Term Care, LLC, and it has 109 beds for resident care, including 99 beds for skilled nursing. The staff includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants, and they provide skilled nursing services, general nursing, wound care, IV therapy, as well as rehabilitation services like physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapies. The center also has nursing rehabilitation services, restorative programs, palliative care, and hospice services, so residents can get short-term or long-term care depending on their needs, and there are outpatient rehab services too. They have care plans and therapy plans tailored for each resident, with a team of experienced professionals aiming to improve quality of life, provide support and compassion, and keep the environment home-like, with three meals a day plus snacks, social activities, nutritional care, housekeeping, and laundry.

    They offer specialized support for people with dementia-related disorders, and the care team works to provide supervision for residents who need help during meals, especially for those at risk of choking. There's also psychology and mental illness therapy, as well as podiatry and emergency medical care. The center says it's committed to values like communication, dignity, empathy, respect, and integrity, but there have been several inspections and reports that found problems too. Deficiencies have been noted in medical assessment, nutritional care, supervision during meals, and staff attention to residents' medical issues like allergic rashes or skin conditions that weren't always reassessed or treated quickly, and residents have reported verbal abuse from staff. Lawsuits have alleged nursing home abuse, neglect, wrongful death, and misconduct, and inspection reports document that LPNs spend about 19 minutes per resident per day.

    Besides all that, the Rehabilitation Center Of The Palm Beaches has features and amenities meant to support patient recovery, like therapy equipment and activity programs, with both post-acute and restorative care available. The service runs 24/7, though main office hours are Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. The facility accepts patients who need IV therapy or more complex skilled nursing, and keeps a focus on providing individualized care with an interdisciplinary team, but it's important to look closely at their inspection history before making choices about care.
