Sabal Palms Health & Rehabilitation

What a beautiful facility! The staff was friendly and courteous. The residents were were very friendly. Almost all of the residents wanted to visit with Ivy, my golden retriever who’s is with Project Pup. Lots of smiling faces as we spread Christmas cheer.

Unless you want your loved ones to be uncared for in their last days don’t send them here. My grandmother spent the last few weeks of her life here and we were immensely disappointed with how she was treated. She had severe dementia and could not communicate or move on her own. Sable palms left her to slowly pass into a room facing the hallway with an open door for any passing person to see. She did not have any privacy in her last few days. They were unsympathetic and insensitive to her needs. They did not bathe her or brush her teeth for days. We had to ask them to do it. They would bring her food but didn’t feed her. She was incapable of moving or taking care of herself, so I’m not sure how they thought she was going to eat. When we brought this up to them, they said we had to let them know she needed help eating. As a facility that likely deals with people in her position frequently, I would think they would know a woman in a near vegetative state would be unable to feed herself. I’m very disappointed they didn’t make a note of that when she was admitted. They put her in a room with a wholly coherent woman, having to smell and watch as my grandma slowly faded away. I can only be grateful that my grandma wasn’t coherent enough to see how she was treated. She would have hated it.

I have a loved one staying there for rehab. It's a nice place and everyone seems very nice and helpful. The housekeeper, Shana was very nice and did an amazing job at cleaning my loved ones room. I would recommend this place to family and friends. The rehab gym is nice as well. Everyone seems very caring.

Place was very clean, had a nice smell to it, everyone appeared to be working efficiently, people were very polite, lovely interior. Could’ve used better signs to the room numbers. I was there late, but saw people sitting around in groups, doing some sort of (seemed to be) patient lead activities. This told me that the patients felt comfortable moving around the building, gathering with each other and socializing. That tells me that patience don’t feel intimidated there.
