[review] => I had a great experience here at Medicana.The staff was very professional, kind, and caring overall. Especially the admissions lady Lola. The physical therapy was phenomenal and they helped me get on track to go home. I'm walking better now and I highly recommend coming here to rehab and all other care needs. Overall Good teamwork and the staff really cared. Ms.Shavon helped me get prepared to go home and all of my home health needs. Thank you so much for taking care of me.

[review] => My mother was at Medicana from Jan. 30th to March 13 this year. All the full time physical therapists at Medicana did an excellent job helping my mother walk again after a second hip fracture in 18 months. My mother truly appreciated how knowledgeable the PTs were and how caring and invested they are in helping their patients.
The RNs, CNAs, and cleaning staff at Medicana were outstanding and friendly with only one or two exceptions. Also, the person who manages the food service department named Debra does a great job. Debra made an excellent effort to make my mother's meal experience the best that it could be.
The business office was always very helpful and responsive. It was great working with both Vanessa and Francine in the business office.
Please note that we were offered a single room for an extra $300 per night, but my mother opted to have a roommate instead of paying the extra amount. Also, patients should note that the doctor who authorizes discharge for some types of coverage comes once a week on Wednesdays.
If you are still reading, I want to say thank you to the full time PTs named (in alpha order) John, Randy, and Rick plus the part time PT named Adriana. I cannot say enough great things about their abilities and their excellent bedside manner.
I also want to say thank you to the CNA named Fennell. She is an exceptional employee and person. She has a GREAT attitude and made every effort to help my mother and everyone.
I also want to thank all the RNs who took care of my mother for being so conscientious about her care. The ones who took care of her the most and did a great job were (in alpha order) Ashley, Damian, Magdala, and Normandy.
The only negative was that it was hard to get a call back from the Social Work office, but that office arranged for us to work with an excellent home health agency called Trust USA Home Health.

[review] => Please avoid this place at all costs. My mother was taken to Medicana Nursing and Rehabilitation Center after having back surgery. We arrived at the location at 7:15 pm and the staff did not even welcome us there. They Only asked the name to which they then responded with pointing and a room number. The place reeks of a urine smell. We were there for at least 20 minutes without any acknowledgment from anyone. Rooms have one TV with two remotes one for each bed which can cause a conflict if 2 people are in one room. One shared toilet between four beds/ two rooms. My mom was there for less than 10 hours. As she called me at 4:50 AM the next day, crying that she was in pain and everyone was ignoring her. She was not giving pain medication while she was there. I arrived at 5:15 AM to take her home. She was shaking from the amount of pain she was in her car light was on and there was no nurse in site. We asked the nurse why she had not attended to the light and she just said she didn’t see it. I immediately proceeded to pack all her things and take her home. I would advise anyone who has a family member to avoid this place at all cost. Sanitation does not seem as a priority and the smell is horrendous.

[review] => Awful and deceitful facility . A family member left a bad review a week ago and for the past 5 days I have been watching the VERY FAKE positive reviews from 03/10 - 03/14 pile in to keep the high rating of this center. There was even a false reply given my the admin regarding the patient they believed was associated with the original bad review. The whole facility needs to be shut down and cleaned , residents are given the bare minimum. Daily nutritional requirements are not being met . The head nurse has questionable motives as well as the person in charge of this facility. Please read the reviews before you send your loved ones here to wither away. My family has been verifying a lot of these ‘new reviews’ and many accounts are not real. We also see the lengths they go to maintaining a facade . U will attach my relatives original post and their reply with is a LIE because now of those dates matches up as well as the name ‘Jay Jack’ is an alias meaning you would have no record of anyone associated with that name. Further proving your reply was fake. And just to share , I am a medical professional who deals heavily with MSW’s have filed 4 similar report in my career with 2 facilities being shut down as a result and 2 having to restructure completely. We have compiled enough information to go to the state board . And initial complaints sent and we are following up with a formal , documented case report.
Have a blessed Week!

[review] => I had a great experience at Medicana Nursing and Rehab Center. The staff is professional, caring, and attentive, especially in providing exceptional care for my mother, who has dementia. The facility is well-maintained, and the environment feels welcoming. I truly appreciated the level of care and support provided during her temporary stay. After her discharge, my family and I were grateful for the helpful resources and information on in-home care for physical therapy, which made the transition back home much easier for my mom. Highly recommend!

[review] => My mother was here and in two weeks she lost 16 pound and was extremely pale. The dietary needs are not met. She is attached verbally whenever she uses the call button and has been left unattended on many occasions. When I visited the first day she would cry saying she wants to go home and I foolishly thought she just needed to adjust. Poor service , smelly living conditions and inattentive management. If I could give it zero starts I would .

[review] => **Review for Medicana Rehab Center**
When my father was admitted to Medicana, we were hopeful but unsure of his ability to participate in rehabilitation activities. Unfortunately, his condition quickly declined, and after a week, it became clear that he needed hospice care instead. Despite this, our experience at Medicana was nothing short of exceptional.
The staff at Medicana were attentive, professional, and, most importantly, compassionate. They treated my father with dignity and respect, ensuring that he was as comfortable as possible during his stay. Even though he was unable to fully participate in rehab activities, the caregivers remained patient and supportive, always checking in on him and addressing his needs with kindness.
What stood out the most was the warmth and empathy of the entire team. They not only cared for my father but also provided reassurance and guidance to our family during a very difficult time. Their dedication and humanity made all the difference, and for that, we are truly grateful.
While our journey took an unexpected turn, I would wholeheartedly recommend Medicana to anyone in need of rehabilitation services. Their commitment to quality care and their genuine concern for their patients and families make them an outstanding choice.

[review] => I used to work here. I worked there almost 3 years before being forced to quit for a policy that was in place but I never knew about! I started off PRN and eventually went full time. My administrator and DON moved on so new people came in. The DON and 2 unit managers were GREAT TO WORK WITH! The administrator Tamia Jones is the rudest and most unprofessional lady I’ve ever met. I was out in FMLA this place tried to get rid of me while on leave. When I came back light duty they had already given my position to someone else and for more pay than I was offered!! While out I planned to go to a funeral not really knowing when I would be able to go back to work (I had been in a car accident that messed my back up pretty bad). Upon coming back I was told I was to either cancel a trip that was paid for or quit. So I quit!! No compassion no nothing! Fake behind don’t care about the staff OR RESIDENTS. Corporate backs her foolishness because of the almighty dollar! That dollar is more important than those residents! All that ugliness inside and out! Walk around like she own the place! Yes she has a job to do but should find a way to do it professionally! She even accused me of coming to visit a family member that I was actually staying with at the time! I literally came to visit a resident…I stopped visiting after that! God, karma and time…

[review] => The first 3mos that our sister had been in this nursing facility has truly been nothing less than amazing. She came in with several serious health issues. It's been 6mos and she's 100% better.Before coming to Medicana we would have to check in on her at least 3-4 times a week. Medicana has made our life easier. The nursing staff here at Medicana make sure that all of her medications are given correctly. The NA are also very attentive to ALL of her health care needs. House keeping and laundry is always kept up-to-date. Tamia the director was the first person we met again nothing less than amazing. Tamia assured us that our sister would get the best care possible. Making sure that she explained everything we would need to know and that we understood. I recommended Medicana to anyone. Look no further 5 stars for sure

[review] => The staff was very professional and caring but I question this facility’s mission. My father-in-law was sent there for therapy to get him walking again with his walker which was accomplished in approximately 3 days. During his 7 day stay my father-in-law stated he never saw a medical doctor once. We threatened to pull him out of there on the 6th day of his stay because earlier the nursing staff said that a doctor would see him on a Wednesday (7th day) but then the social worker said a doctor would not be in till Friday (which would have been the 9th day). Once we threatened to pull him out on Tuesday they all of a sudden begged us to stay till Wednesday again that doctor would be there then. When we arrived Wednesday morning my father-in-law stated the doctor hadn’t been in yet. After a short wait I just checked with director of nursing on what time the doctor arrives. She saw us walk in and made no effort to come to his room and inform us that the doctor had been there and deemed my father-in-law medically unstable to discharge contradicting what my father-in-law stated about not seeing the doctor yet. I feel at this time my father-in-law was alert and in competent mental capacity that he was telling us the truth about not seeing the doctor. I am assuming we would have waited all day for them to tell us so we could continue to be billed for unnecessary medical treatment in our opinion based on that what he was sent in there for was resolved within 3 day. In my opinion this facility is very much in the business of only making a profit as I notice there was a number of beds empty which in my experience is very unusual for a nursing home. If you send a loved one there permanently I would highly recommend this facility. If you are sending a loved one there for minor rehab then plan on being there for a long, possibly unnecessary extended stay to support their profit objectives.

[review] => Medicana Nursing and Rehab has wonderful caregivers and staff except the Administrator Tamia Jones she is unprofessional, Yells at her staff and calls the building her building whatever she says goes medicana lost great Social workers, Nurses, Residents and now an amazing DON and 2 great Unit Managers. HR and Cooperate seems to not care about their employees and residents because they are not listening to their concerns and acting on it. Medicana would be great if they end up changing the Adminstrator

[review] => Medicana is the second Rehab I’ve been in patient for in the past month. To compare the two.Medicana stands out by far. The accommodations were comfortable and the food was good for the most part. After all it is a Rehab Center. The staff were very efficient, friendly and accommodating. There are some I’d like to acknowledge by name. Monique the nurse manager was always friendly and available whenever I needed her or had questions about my medications. John, PT and Cheryl OT helped me so much in my speedy recovery. I went to Medicana on a stretcher and in a few weeks I’m now walking with a walker. Angelica in the dining room met all my requests. Keia the social worker was very friendly and efficient in arranging my intake and making sure I was comfortable, most importantly she worked with my VA caseworker on the phone and got me set up for discharge back home with help. The home health company came even came to see me before I left Medicana which made me feel comfortable. If there’s any complaint for me it would be there were a lot of insects, however on the day I left the exterminator did came in.

[review] => Terrific Staff, did not have to wait hours for meds. CNA's extremely helpful, very attentive. I have a big WOW for KEIA SMITH. she went far and above. She was able to get my RX's, she made sure that I had my equipment from Medicare and everything else i needed to leave the same day she requested it so I could leave that day. KUDOOS!!

[review] => When I read these positive reviews, I feel like they must be kidding or are fake! That is what tricked me into feeling good about taking my dad there. My dad was there because no other facility would take him with Covid when he was discharged from the hospital. They told us to head over to get dad settled in. So pleasant and sweet from the sales side. We showed up and there was no room wating for him. They were surprised to see us. My dad had to sit in a crowded hallway slumped over in his wheelchair for more than an hour while they began to move people around so he can have a room. They knew we were headed there and did nothing. The remainder of his stay was no less than a nightmare that seemed to get worse as time went on. In rehab, they turned their back on him knowing he mind was not right, to work on a computer and he stood up and fell. Medications lists were not being processed and we had to make it happen with multiple complaints. Complain to the head nurse and watch him literally make "stuff" up to explain lecture style why his staff doesn't do what they should. He's a gem. Push a call button and see what happens. Nothing! Need help going to the bathroom, don't hold your breath. We had to hire private aids to keep dad safe as they could not. Don't let them fool you with their sales pitch, this is not a good place to send a loved one unless there is no other choice. Let's not even talk about the awful food or how filthy the outdoor area was. Or the screaming of mentally ill patients for hours. If you do go there, be prepared to fight for everything your loved one needs. You should know, they may tell you that you will get a single or double room. But you could just as easlily end up in a 6 bed dormatory style room. One TV and 1 toilet for 6 beds. Even if you start in a single or double, they can move you at their discretion to a 6 bed. Know that single and double rooms have as many as four patients that share one toilet. You should know that the rooms are tiny and the beds too. I could go on and on, but this is the reality of this place. I'm not saying that some of the staff didn't try, but they are overwhelmed and understaffed like all places. Just to get a cup of water or ice was always a challenge. Good luck.

[review] => To me, being taken to the Medicana Nursing Home was being sent to hell. Their food was very laughable. Their "cranberry juice" tasted more like kool-ade. The food portions were designed for a squirrel. The rooms were not very clean. The staff that I was unlucky enough to interact with were either dismissive, robotic, confrontational or completely uncommunicative due to language barriers. One awful woman in Social Services actually hollered at me for lodging a complaint! I am so surprised this "rehab" has not been closed down for bug infestations ( there were ants climbing up my wall), unsanitary conditions ( my sheets were changed once in 10 days) or numerous other reasons. Their Google reviews are all 5's. Not sure how that is even remotely possible. Why an inspector has not taken their license yet is unthinkable. I am not over the pain, suffering and utter disregard that I was subjected to. I don't think I ever will be. Don't expose your loved ones to this place. I wouldn't send my worst enemy there.

[review] => I wish to highly recommend Medicana where my father is well taken care of and loves the staff and food. The staff are very caring. The social worker Kea Smith is exceptionally helpful, she’s goes above and beyond when it comes to patients and patients care and follow up. This is the only Nursing and Rehab center I have been to that made me feel at ease and comfortable. Others smelled of urine and the staff didn’t appear helpful or involved. The entire staff from medical to maintenance to front desk and kitchen staff are to be highly commended.

[review] => I'm a current patient at Medicana. The rehab department Casandra and Randy have been fantastic they've played a huge role in my therapy success. Nick the Rehab Director was very helpful and even rearranged my therapy schedule to Sunday when I made a special request. Every since I've been here Keia, my social worker and Monique the unit nurse manager have shown me so much care and compassion. Whenever I need anything they both are always willing to go above and beyond to make my stay here comfortable. The CNA's Fernelle, Fedlaine and Casandra always provide me with great service and help me with showering and care needs. The Activity staff come to my room and does my nails whenever I ask. Medicana even has a business office, Vanessa and Francine both helped me with all my financial questions. I've been to a few rehab facilities and overall Medicana is a great place. I'm truly grateful for all the people I've mentioned in this review.

[review] => To whom it may concern, Medicana Nursing & Rehab Center is second to none. I would like to identify the physical and occupational therapy team (John and Rick) at the facility as the BEST I've ever had. The rehab far exceeded my expectations they got me from bedridden to actually walking with a walker again in far under 1 month. The social worker Kia, unit nurse manager Monique, CNA Irene, and rest of administration always responded to anything I needed during my stay to make me as comfortable as possible. The food was 5 stars, Joe the food & nutrition manager came to my room and made sure I got the menu selections I wanted everyday. I owned 2 restaurants, so I know good food. If I ever have the need for rehab services again Medicana would be the only place I'd want to go.

[review] => A very good friend of mine was a resident for over a year. She was physically healthy in her 80's. She had Alzheimers and the personality changes were stubbornness otherwise she remained sweet and agreeable. Her decline was fast and very sad. We (I and her husband who had dementia) had a number of concerns all of which management were quick to assure us would be looked at and improved but they never were!
Issues were her constant falling out of chairs or her bed, neglect of her needs and of her belongings, lack of care fulness which caused a fall, and general unhygienic conditions.
In the common room they only had dining chairs (no big comfortable lean back chairs) and she continually fell out of them . They always, as far as I know called us to report said accidents, but the only remedy they had was to try to get her to her room to lay down if they happened to see her sleeping in said chair. She also fell out of bed a number of times .
The mattress of the bed was old and lumpy. Her personal hygiene was not looked after. We often arrived and her hair was uncombed. Her nails were never cut unless I did this myself which I often did. Dirty diapers were found and reported in the hallway at least twice.
She developed many sores which were only looked after somewhat, after we complained. Medication was not prescribed nor did she see a Doctor for these sores.
Her personal belongings often disappeared and were never found despite being labeled. Her clothing was marked with huge black magic markers rather than name tags and took over a month to get marked. Her closet was always in disaray only after a few days of my organizing it, with clothing missing, general items used for everyone or items not being used like padding stuffed in her closet. Her neighbour who had no relatives and was incapacitated had her clothing in bags pushed into her own closet.
Staff rarely spoke to my friend. She stopped eating for which they did nothing, and though I often asked them to cut her meat I often arrived when she was eating, to find this not done. It was easier to deliver her meals to her bedside than incorporate her in the dining room so it was up to us to take her there when we could. Rarely would they take her for the planned events and only occasionally when we requested a specific event.
I observed other, severely handicapped and Alzheimer patients neglected and staff not trained in how to effectively help them. The very basics were done for them but some staff had time to sit by an outside door on their phones. Staff did not seem sufficiently trained, financially or otherwise motivated to care about the patients.
If I had had the authority she would not have remained there. I actively attempted to have her power of attorney agree to move her, but there were always false promises they would improve care. As she was dying, before we could get there, they promised to hold her hand but they didn't do much for her when she was alive.

She is in a back brace and they haven't given her anything for the pain for 10 hours now. And she is obviously hurting. They just accused her of "jonesing" for pills because she is in excruciating pain as one would be after a MAJOR surgery THIS IS COMPLETELY FRICKING UNNACEPTABLE.

[review] => During COVID with no chance of visiting a facility before a loved one in admitted, my father was taken there on a Wednesday night where we had to prove that he was vaccinated and COVID free. It was near impossible to get him on the phone, only to find out that the rooms did not have private phones and they were bringing portable phones between patients. On Saturday I was finally able to speak with him and I knew he needed help. I begged the nurse for him to see a doctor and was told that he only needed to rest and that she was the professional. I asked to speak with an administrator and was told to call on Monday. On Monday my husband went in person and spoke with the director and the head nurse both told him that dad would see a doctor. Later a voicemail informed us that there were no orders on file for a doctor. Tuesday morning dad was transported to JFK where a doctor told us he got there too late to be revived. He went to Hospice over night and died the next day. This facility neglected to get the help our dad needed and also he was robbed of a necklace that he was wearing when he was admitted. PS he also tested positive for COVID at JFK, Medicana denies that he had it when he was there.

[review] => My mom was more or less forced into this facility by Signature Healthcare rehab facility once Signature decided she would not get any better.
Medicana smells to high heaven of urine no matter what time of day you are there. The standard answer to every issue you point out to them is "We didn't know".
A resident fell on the floor outside of my mom's room the other day because there was absolutely no caregiver, no nurse, no one on the hall.
The first day I went to visit my mom, they had an ear PLUG in her left ear and did not have her hearing aid in her right ear at all.
They will not get my mom out of bed to use the potty-they make her urinate and defecate in her depends. I have no idea how long she is left to lay in her own waste.
They will not get her out of bed at all and during the times I've been to visit her, they don't even come in and change her .
position.
She shares a room with three other women. Some of the staff members are very kind but some of them are just downright rude! I've never seen any activities for the residents except for a bingo game one time in the dining hall. Most of them are just sitting in the hallways in their wheelchairs.
Do not bring your loved ones to this facility!

[review] => So recently we were trying to find a good establishing for my ailing grandfather and me and my best friend came into Medicana Nursing Center . As my best friend and I walked in we noticed what appeared to be a quarrel going on between a heavyset bad Widged. Bahamian woman, who appear to be the manager but had no sense on how to talk to her poor employee because she was scolding him in front of everyone else and belittling him. When my best friend and I observed we immediately left because this is not how I would want my grandpa to be treated his final days out. So if you ever decide you want to bring someone here think twice because that lady was the definition of unprofessional.

[review] => It took me just over a year to write this review because I'm literally traumatized by what they did to my parent.
The rehab staff was good. The CARE staff was neglectful. A few exceptions, but mostly awful.
Sundays are the worst with no administrative staff to watch over them at all. My parent was totally neglected and even another main staff member whispered in my ear to move her to another facility, that he was being neglected.
If your loved one is not totally mobile and able to speak up for themselves, then RUN from this very old, very HOT building (such poor AC) of doom.
After an ER trip discovered c-diff, upon return to this center they literally left my parent alone in a room with the door shut all day with no AC and a sign that he was contagious, which prevented others from going in to hydrate him (He was unable to hydrate on his own or use a call button).
It was a Sunday and no one questioned this sign. Thank goodness we went to visit. It has been eight hours since he had been transported back and no one had been in the room.
Complaining, crying, on your knees to the director does no good as they can't babysit their staff 24/7.
If you don't have great insurance you get stuck with a place like this. I should have installed secret security cameras. It was that bad.
I could go on for an hour listing offenses. There were no openings at other centers, that's why my parent stayed. Others seemed just as bad. At least here the rehab staff was good and for that I'm grateful.
This whole system in this country is so so sad. My parent was treated like an object. I've seen stuffed animals get more love and care. With a few exceptions .. a select few decent workers who also confided to me that they cared but most did not. They were also sickened at the poor care.
the turnover there was high. Even the director left. when the remaining decent employees confide in you that it's so bad that they, too, are leaving .. you know this is an unstable environment.
My parent was dehydrated. Had a swollen leg twice the width of the other that no one noticed. We walked in and saw it and could not believe it. Doctor not called in until the next day and ultra sound didn't come for yet another day and it was a blood clot. only a doctor can order a test or a medication.
Gross negligence. Blood in urine noticed. Mandatory elevation (choke risk) and was consistently not elevated upon our arrival. We were on guard all of the time and felt like we could never leave. I've never been through anything like that in my life and literally have ptsd from this horrific experience.
There are many more things I could name. Once he was dropped. Bed sores not reported, one to the bone.
I have to stop. It's too much for me. But this place is in my nightmares. Sadly I get told that this is not uncommon. ?? Some of these people should be arrested. This should not be common.
Find a place with cameras in the rooms. You don't want anyone that you love to be subjected to this place. Even a neighbor was here 9 years ago and said it was awful. Some things don't change.

[review] => Medicana, in my opinion, excels in providing quality care by a team of well qualified and compassionate staff. My wife spent 5 weeks as a resident at Medicana following a near fatal illness and confinement at a local hospital. She was not expected to live upon her arrival at the Emergency Room. Because of the excellent care she received at Medicana, she fully recovered from this grave illness and has continued to do well to the present.. I would give Medicana an unqualified recommendation.

[review] => I am a current resident at Medicana Nursing and Rehab Center. I find the nursing staff to be caring and courteous. The staff from the therapy department housekeeping, and maintenance are also full of people that try to help when ever they can. Activities wise we go on trips, play games, have parties and have live entertainment. Overall, I really enjoy living here.

[review] => We had a horrible experience at Medicana Nursing & Rehab Center. Their nurses were extremely unfriendly. It was the worse experience.

[review] => My mother has been a patient at Medicana. What I wish I knew and want to inform others of: the overall star ratings awarded can be changed by filing grievances on the Agency fo Healthcare, http://ahca.myflorida.com/
Our experience: Some of the nurses are very good and attentive, but overall, even though my mother was bedridden, the nurses didn't see her. The aids do. I can't tell you how many times things were amiss and our answer from the staff was "we didn't know". There is no one to give you answers. Everyone refers you to someone else. We've been out right lied to on more than one occasion.
The therapists are great. I believe they do a good job and genuinely care about their patients. However, as in any facility, it comes down to floor care. If your parent is bedridden or has any special needs, LOOK ELSEWHERE.

[review] => My grandmother was at this facility for rehab after her hospital stay. She had Medicare and so we had a lot of options when it came to selecting a place. We went with Medicana because another friends Father had been there and recommended it. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming, the nurses were all very helpful and the therapists did a great job of getting my grandmother back to being her old self again! My whole family is so grateful for all that Medicana did for her and we would HIGHLY recommend it if you need therapy or nursing help.

[review] => My father was sent here after leaving the hospital so he could do rehab. While he was there they were not able to do much with him as he was constantly medicated. Eventually he got close to his benefits running out. My father told my mother something was not right with him.
My mother pleaded with this place to send my father back to the hospital. They did not want to listen to her. She called the insurance company and told them what was going on and that she felt they were holding him there because there were still 4 days left insurance would cover. My mother was instructed to let them know she would call 911 if they did not send him to the hospital. They finally agreed.
My father went back to the hospital where they found internal bleeding and the need for a blood transfusion. This ridiculous place would have never sent him out if my mother had not threatened to call 911.

[review] => Nurses and therapists were good. Never saw the doctor or heard from him/her. The social worker lied to family members and resident on several occasions and caused a lot of turmoil for everyone. Would have expected better from her. That left us all with a very negative view of the facility.

REVIEWS
I had a great experience here at Medicana.The staff was very professional, kind, and caring overall. Especially the admissions lady Lola. The physical therapy was phenomenal and they helped me get on track to go home. I'm walking better now and I highly recommend coming here to rehab and all other care needs. Overall Good teamwork and the staff really cared. Ms.Shavon helped me get prepared to go home and all of my home health needs. Thank you so much for taking care of me.

My mother was at Medicana from Jan. 30th to March 13 this year. All the full time physical therapists at Medicana did an excellent job helping my mother walk again after a second hip fracture in 18 months. My mother truly appreciated how knowledgeable the PTs were and how caring and invested they are in helping their patients.
The RNs, CNAs, and cleaning staff at Medicana were outstanding and friendly with only one or two exceptions. Also, the person who manages the food service department named Debra does a great job. Debra made an excellent effort to make my mother's meal experience the best that it could be.
The business office was always very helpful and responsive. It was great working with both Vanessa and Francine in the business office.
Please note that we were offered a single room for an extra $300 per night, but my mother opted to have a roommate instead of paying the extra amount. Also, patients should note that the doctor who authorizes discharge for some types of coverage comes once a week on Wednesdays.
If you are still reading, I want to say thank you to the full time PTs named (in alpha order) John, Randy, and Rick plus the part time PT named Adriana. I cannot say enough great things about their abilities and their excellent bedside manner.
I also want to say thank you to the CNA named Fennell. She is an exceptional employee and person. She has a GREAT attitude and made every effort to help my mother and everyone.
I also want to thank all the RNs who took care of my mother for being so conscientious about her care. The ones who took care of her the most and did a great job were (in alpha order) Ashley, Damian, Magdala, and Normandy.
The only negative was that it was hard to get a call back from the Social Work office, but that office arranged for us to work with an excellent home health agency called Trust USA Home Health.

“The first 3 months that our sister has been in this nursing facility has truly been nothing less than amazing. She came in with several serious health issues, it’s been 6 months and she’s 100% better. The nursing staff here at Medicana make sure that all of her medications are given correctly. The CNAs are also very attentive to ALL of her health care needs. Housekeeping and laundry are always kept up to date. The administrator was the first person we met and was nothing less than amazing. I recommended Medicana Nursing & Rehab Center to anyone.”
