Wilton Manors Health and Rehabilitation Center

If anyone is thinking of putting your loved one in this facility...think twice!!!!DO NOT!!!! My mom had broken her ankle and after her hospital stay she needed skilled nursing ..I should of looked at the reviews when i received the call that Wilton Manor had an open bed...... So..I first want to point out the compassionate and professional staff that to me are 5 star! Rochelle and Nosley-extremely caring nurses that were very attentive not only for my mother but for family members as well! Victoria-Top notch physical therapist who always kept a positive attitude and was a great motivator for my mom..she had compassion..we loved her! Aline and All the wound care staff-they were EXCEPTIONAL!!! they would bring a smile to my moms face during what was a horrifying situation (leg wound). The daytime receptionist -always welcomed us with a smile ! And adding to my list is ... Gregory from medical records-From my experience with him I would say he should run Wilton Manor! He was on top of anything I requested that was necessary..He was the ONLY one in the facility to even care to return my calls... What a shame that all the amazing staff I mentioned have to work for such a poorly run facility ! The administrator NEVER got back to me after me leaving numerous messages in a time of need! The DIETICIAN assigned to my mom along with the ASSISTANT DIRECTOR of NURSING turned a blind eye to my pleas to weigh my mother as I knew there had been an abnormal amount of weight loss..which was LATER..after I demanded a weigh in at the 30 day meeting. ..determined that she had lost 18 lbs in 3 weeks!!!! I was ignored and given "lip service" time and time again.. THE SOCIAL WORKERS- PRETEND to be there for the patient and family..I saw through that. Not an ounce of true compassion.they had dismissive attitudes and gave us a uneasy feeling as they more or less would bring up discharge every chance they could . My mother did pass away after she had to go back into the hospital...and to be

I’m really surprised to see all of the 5 stars. I would NEVER. I only gave 1 star because there was 1 or 2 kind people working there. When my dad first got there his room smelled like cigarette smoke. It was so strong. I was then told he was right at the window where they smoked. Then why is his window wide open? My dad had a stoke and his right side is very weak. I was told that he would have PT and speech therapy while there, I didn’t know he was just there to lay in the bed and waste away. One day me and my daughter came and he was soaking wet with urine. We were so upset. Apparently that was the norm. End result my dad was admitted back to the hospital with sepsis, a bad infection and UTI. When I came back to the facility to get his belongings his room smelled so bad like ammonia and urine. I opened the closet to get his clothes everything was soaking wet. I had to dispose of all of his clothes. When he is ready to go back to rehab he will NEVER go back to this facility. My dad could have passed away. Oh not to mention the rude lady at the front desk. I feel sorry for anyone that has loved one’s at this place. When you know better you do better. All i can do is pray for all that we left there because by the grace of God my dad survived.

We would like to offer our great thanks to the Occupational Therapy Department at Wilton Manors, and most especially to the therapist Jonathan Palmerton, for the excellent and profoundly compassionate therapy our mother has been receiving.  Our mom, who suffered from a fall and a head injury that causes fatigue and which can adversely affect her mood and cognition, can admittedly be somewhat tricky to work with.  With great patience and skill Jonathan succeeds even more than the therapists at Holy Cross Hospital- where our mom had previously received therapy- in getting her participating and engaged.  In addition our Mom had broken her elbow when she fell.  When her cast was finally removed after a long delay, Jonathan was able to begin the process of therapy for her arm without her experiencing any pain- something the orthopedic doctor had said was impossible.  We will always be extremely grateful to the occupational therapy department at Wilton Manors, and most especially to Jonathan Palmerton, for these many little miracles which have meant so much to us and so greatly benefited our Mom.
