They took the time to listen to concerns and goals, creating a plan that will help make significant progress during your time there. The facility itself is clean, modern, and equipped with everything necessary to aid in recovery.

He was so relaxed there and had his favorite CNA's and nurses. The care he was given by all staff members, was fantastic. He was treated like a member of the family. He liked being able to sit outside in the front or in the court yard. Communication by the staff to me was excellent. I highly recommend taking your loved one here for long term care.

                            [review] => My 92 year old dad was admitted to Ft. Walton Rehab after a short hospital stay. This review is based on my daily visits to see my dad while in the facility.
The Rehab wing always had patient and upbeat workers.  My dad loved each of them.  To say they were patient with the patients doesn't begin to truly convey how patient they were.  My dad wasn't always the easiest patient.  Eventually, he hit a point of no progression.  We made the decision to move him to the extended care wing, (a.k.a. nursing home).  He loved the nurses and they were so caring.  I was able to always get time with the nurses to discuss my dad's disposition and general health condition for the day.   If he didn't feel like feeding himself, they would sit with him and feed him. They worked with him to make sure he was out of bed for several hours a day to keep him moving somewhat and having some social interaction. I joked that they were "holding court" as there were numerous patients in their wheelchairs encircled around the nurses station.  They were interacting with the nurses and it was not unusual for them to be giving them snacks of shakes or pudding while they were "holding court". There was always residents going up and down the halls in their wheelchairs.  Some of them visiting with others while they did so.
My dad was always clean.  His clothes and dressings were always clean. His bed was clean. The room and facility was clean.  The beds were good and operational. They didn't look old and rusted like the previous rehab he was in during a different health event. Even his roommate, who had apparently had a massive stroke, appeared to be clean and cared for.  It was not unusual for the nurses to come in and talk to the roommate who really couldn't communicate. I was happy to see that they didn't leave him alone just because he couldn't move and communicate. I can attest that the roommate was always clean as well. Never was my dad or his roommate left to sit in their dirty underwear or clothes. The nurses were always friendly and seemed happy to be there.  This was a stark contrast to the previous rehab he had been in earlier in the year.  They were quick to call when he had the slightest sore developing or even a change in attitude with him. They kept in close contact with doctors concerning my dad's condition. I always knew he was being well cared for and that brought us peace.
The administration was helpful and generally friendly.  They knew the residents and greeted them whenever they were in the halls.  They helped us with working on financial arrangements, giving us paths to reach out to for financial help with Medicaid and insurance so we were able to afford their services.
When my dad's condition declined, we were called immediately.  They kept us updated and when we were there, they made room for us in the room.  Never once did I feel like we were in the way or a hinderance for being there.  There was a CNA that sat outside his room the last hour we were there when he was declining, giving us some space but being immediately available if we needed her.  Even near the end, they made sure he was clean.  At the end (the last 10-15 mins), a nurse came and was with us explaining what to expect and helping us with the emotional experience of my dad's passing.  They gave us time and space with him afterwards.  It was a very peaceful experience.  Far different than what I had envisioned being with my dad when he passed.
Needless to say, my family was so pleased with Ft. Walton Rehab and glad he was with people who loved and cared for him and he loved them.

                            [review] => My mother celebrated her 95th birthday on Sunday.  I want to recognize the amazing work of the entire staff at Fort Walton Beach Rehabilitation Center.  My mother has been in and out of the rehab center since 2019 and I can say, without hesitation, she would not be alive today without the care she has continuously received.  It is not only the care, but the compassion within every department evidenced in so many interactive situations.

With our history of stays, it is always comforting to see familiar faces, smiles and welcoming comments from both the staff and people that stay in the facility long term.  They are happy.

I understand, of course, the situations might not be ideal for any patient, but life continues and how wonderful to be well taken care of in the most difficult of times.

Bravo for jobs well done!   Thank you for taking care of my mom and so many others.

We had minimal time to figure out a health plan and NO help from her previous rehab facility. In our moment of need, FWB rehab was there. We could not have managed alone. I am so thankful to Jayme and Shatilla in Admissions. They are absolute rockstars. Not only did they step in and take over, but they eased our minds and made my mother feel valued, respected, and heard from the moment she arrived. We are just a few days in and her progress has surpassed what she had achieved in 2 months at Pruitt Health in Panama City. What started out as a nightmare has become an absolute dream. We hate how it happened, but are so thankful it did. All love for this facility. Thank you for your commitment to the people you serve.

                            [review] => As a healthcare professional with over 20 years long-term care experience, this center exceeded my expectations.  I was helping a close family member with the placement of a loved one and the staff went over and beyond assisting us with the placement process. I have visited their love one on many occasions and they are thriving in the center. They appear happy, well groomed, and have gained weight. Thank you for all the care and compassion you provided to my friends and their loved one.

Your loved one deserves much better than this place. The joining bathroom has had urine on the floor and wall for 2 days. All of this was reported to supervisor to no avail.

                            [review] => After reading a few good reviews, I thought it can't be bad. Smelled clean and was bright. That's the end of anything positive. Unfortunately, my dad was there for 3 weeks before I could get him moved. He came for rehab after a 2 week hospital stay to help build his strength up. He left in worse shape. He had 1 shower the beginning of his stay and not another one until a week and a half in. He smelled awful. My son and I had to keep helping him change clothes because he was filthy every time we visited. He said he would call for help if he had an accident in his bed and at least on one occasion they made him lay there for an hour in his own urine. PT was maybe 1 hour a day then he was sent to his room and confined to his bed or wheelchair. He said they got mad if he tried to get up. They are understaffed and difficult to get answers from. Always shooed me away and said they would come to the room. Tried to call the administrator but was told she was in a meeting. I left a message to return my call, she never did. The furniture in the rooms are antiquated and highly uncomfortable. My dad cut himself multiple times on the bed. Found him one day with dried blood all down his leg and on his sheets (stayed for 2 days). Wounds were barely cared for and bandages left on for days. Patient bathrooms were old and nasty. My dad said many of the staff members were always arguing. I witnessed this myself, I even heard a male staff member yelling at a patient in the cafeteria, then later complaining to a nurse how it wasn't his job, etc. She yelled back at him. All outside my dad's room. They are noisy and have no consideration for quiet time in the evenings when people try to sleep. My dad was miserable and kept begging me to get him out. When I came to pick him up, it smelled heavy of bleach and many of the staff were wearing masks. Walked in and my dad had "a head cold". I asked multiple staff if COVID was going around. They completely ignored my question or referred me to their web page. Nothing was posted on the doors or website as I could find. Brought my dad to his new assisted living where he tested positive for COVID two days later, which he passed along to myself and my son. I complained to the social worker a week before he was discharged and she claimed she was filing a grievance report.  Never got a follow-up if that even occurred. Had one meeting two weeks in to even get an update on his care, which was minimal. One evening they forgot to bring his dinner. I had to hunt it down for him. Thankfully I was there that evening. I could go on and on. Please do NOT trust this place to care for your loved one.

                            [review] => Our friend and neighbor was there for rehab after a stroke. The staff was very caring and attentive. They also allowed his friends to visit often and in large numbers to bring a little bit of home to him while he was recovering. Some have rated FWRC low because of the response time to the call button, but these people have unrealistic expectations. They do very well with the staff they have. They really care for their patients and it shows.

The Speech Therapist, Ms. Victoria, and the Occupational Therapist, Ms. Lisa, have been especially kind and encouraging. Ms. Rhonda, an administrator, and Ms. Ashley, the Director, have been most accommodating and addressing all of our concerns. Additionally, the rest of the staff has been very friendly and most helpful. Thanks again for all you do!

My mother was sent to Ft Walton Rehab Center by Emerald Coast Hospice and her caseworker.  She was only there for a Respite stay of 5 days starting on 1/20/2023. The first night she was there, she fell and the staff there called 911 instead of calling Emerald Coast Hospice first as well as her caseworker.  My mother also wore the same pants and shirt for 2 days,  I had put clean clothes in the top and middle drawers in the nightstand next to bed 1/22/2023. On 1/23/2023 the doctor from the facility came in to examine my mother and when I commented that Mom was there for Respite only and she was to stay there for 5 days only and he replied  "Ohhhhh", like he didn't know she was there only for Respite.  I got the impression that he thought she was going to be a permanent patient.  After all said and done, I requested my mom be discharged on 1/24/2023 instead of 1/25/2023 with the assistance of her caseworker at Emerald Coast Hospice.  I got her back home on 1/24/23 and Mom had to use the restroom and when I helped her to pull her Depends off I noticed she had a really bad diaper rash, which she didn't have before I took her to Ft Walton Rehab Center on  1/20/2023 !! I'm not happy with the way my mother was treated at this facility Ft Walton Rehab Center.  Unsatisfied son.

I've always been called if Pam has had an accident or needing a change to her schedule. In the 3 years Pam has lived there  when I need something  done or looked into. It was accomplished  immediately.  I highly recommend this facility  for your love ones.

Even after being released from therapy they kept him until he was finished with his IV antibiotics. Everyone here was always so friendly and helpful. My uncle was very happy here and said he wouldn't mind staying as a long term resident if needed!

He's 83 and this is not ok!! on top of that they sent him home while majorly loaded!! not sure if it was the flexeril they had him on twice a day for a week or something else but he was extremely out of it and my husband does not take meds to cause him to be loaded! Thirdly the day before his release I almost stepped on a syringe with a bare needle at the entrance of his bathroom. Seriously!!??? This rehab leaves a lot to be desired in their competence! I also believe they let him go early because they didn't want liability! The staff was kind and congenial and they did do their job as well as can be expected.  None the less this rehab leaves a lot to be desired!

I'm 57 and have been here a month recovering from a stroke. They go above and beyond to ensure medical, mental and physical needs are always their number one priority and truly listen to the patient's and the family members to better help with rehab and level of comfort. They become an extension of the family. They have provided such a positive impact on my life I can truly only say THANK YOU for treating me with such respect and helping me regain my independence.

My father is a patient there currently and not only are the nurses, CNA's and therapist great, the Administrator Ashley is phenomenal! Ashley has been a true God-sent and makes time to engage her patients and their families. Ashley has a heart warming approach and has a gift for making sure patients and their families know that they are also her top priority while still performing her job meticulously.  Also Ms. Bernice that answers the phones is beyond Amazing! Our whole family had a very rough time when my father was admitted and Ms. Bernice was very helpful and empathetic. Our family was truly blessed that my father was able to conduct his rehabilitation at FWB Rehabilitation Center.

They were a lot better with communicating with me about what was going on with my grandpa. I can get right through to the nursing station. It was great. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I don't have any complaints at all. The facility was nice and clean.

                            [review] => My husband stayed in Fort Walton Rehabilitation Center until he died. I was very happy with them. Everybody was very busy taking care of their clients. It was a large community, so there was plenty of space for everybody. The main thing is that they were very, very diligent about COVID. Your temperature has to be taken before you can come in, and they'll let in two people at a time. I was appreciative of that. It was spacious enough, and they had different hallways for the people. It was an older building, but I was completely satisfied with it. They had bingo and different little activities, but my husband was so bedridden that he didn't get to go to those activities. This facility was close to where we live, and so it just worked out 100%. The staff members were very friendly. They always did what they were supposed to do every day, they checked on him, they changed him, they made sure his bed was good, and they took care of him.

                            [review] => My father caught Covid after 3 weeks as a patient. He was transferred to FWBMC by EMS and passed away 4 days later. Patients are isolated from visitors for 14 days upon entering and if you can get visitation you are still separated from your loved one. So the question is “how does the virus get in the faculty?
Well, not all the caregivers have been vaccinated and caregivers are not screened when reporting for work!
IMHO if a caregiver is not willing to be vaccinated against a deadly, Highly communicable virus, maybe they shouldn’t be interacting with High Risk patients!
We are considering all options.

I tried to get answers and got rudeness. Even threatened me Medicaid wouldn't pay if I left AMA. I am on MEDICARE. I left AMA less than 18 hours after arrival. Looks nothing like the photos they have up.

I will be looking at the concerns mentioned in the negative reviews for call lights not being answered (huge concern for me) and UTI coming from being catheterized as my friend can not get up and down on his own I'm concerned if this is a plan of treatment. I will not stand for pee smells or roaming "zombies". I agree this is no way to improve the mindset of a patient in for rehab. I will be happy to report on all the great points I read of friendly staff and care and compassion by rehab staff and nurses. It is true we read reviews more than ever these days because it's a hard decision trusting your loved ones with someone else to care for them. So God Bless us All. Family, Friends & Caregivers Alike. I believe WE all have the same goal. So until my update which will be done regularly thank you.

Its a good thing she had family to take care of her because there is not enough staff, it took more than 30 minutes for help to go to restroom and to top it off there were, on two occasions, no hot water for bathing for more than three days. We had to take our mother home to bathe!  Food was always cold and was served without a drink.  Meds were not given correctly as the drs ordered changes and nurses didn't have the orders for days later. Therapist were great but sad that they had to work under those conditions.  Several of these conditions are certainly agains health regulations and should be documented.  In conclusion, who should be contacted to report this facility and provide a competent facility for our ailing senior citizens that need medical attention.

I felt like the business office and the administrator were very helpful with any difficulties that came up while we were there. My mom had  food allergies and the kitchen tried extremely hard to accommodate her. Overall like any place my mom has stayed in the past there are always things that can be improved by on, what I found to be the best thing is that they were always willing to work on it instead of trying to cover everything up like we saw at the hospital. Thank you to rehab, nursing and activities for keeping my mom motivated. Your caring shows. We had a very positive experience!

                            [review] => I am diabetic and this facility refuses to give me diet appropriate food.  The tray contains cake, pudding and tons of foods that convert to sugar.  When I asked for sugar free condiments and healthy snacks, I was told to call friends and have them bring it.  This place does NOT care about their patients health. Meals look and taste like a garbage pile; even the aides are appalled by this food.

                            [review] => The PT department was wonderful and everyone was friendly but patient care had a lot to be desired.  They are understaffed and can't keep up with the patient's needs.  It has taken up to an hour more than once to have someone come in when you use the call light.  Most CNA's were wonderful but you always have those few that doesn't put the patient first.

My mother chose Fort Walton Rehab because her doctor makes rounds there.  She went there for rehab due to a knee replacement and ended up falling one week after having her knee replacement, (her fault) and broke her left humerus bone.  She didn't have surgery immediately on her arm and was in excruciating pain with her arm and some of the CNA's didn't even take that into account.  She had to have a catheter foley put in because she was totally in able to get up on her on and go to the bathroom.  I repeated over and over I didn't think her urine looked good and they just kept saying she needed to drink more water.  I took her to Scared Heart ER because she was in so much pain and they did surgery later that afternoon on her arm.  She tested positive for a UTI and E.coli.  Needless to say I did not take her back to that rehab and would never recommend that place to anyone.  I put her in rehab in Destin and she is doing so well and they are so attentive to her needs, which is what a patient needs during times like these.  I feel for the nursing home patients who doesn't have someone to be there voice.  It really saddens my heart that they can't get the extra attention they need due to being understaffed.

Day before I thought the 25 minute wait was bad. Today while waiting outside her door for them to put her in bed I let a cha know there was a pill on the floor by the door across the hall! Someone may have not received their pill, seriously I'm a patient person this is bad!!!!

                            [review] => My mother died as a result of an untreated UTI which turned into Urosepsis.  I found her unresponsive in front of the nursing station.  I demanded she be taken to the hospital where they immediately diagnosed her with a UTI and sepsis.  She was hypothermic temp 94, extremely low blood pressure and pulse.  All while sitting right in front of all the medical "professionals".  A month or so prior she had a bruise that covered her entire left forearm (she didn't use that arm as the result of a stroke) with a gash, swollen enough it had to be x-rayed and not one of the staff members could explain how she got it.  Her lower dentures were broke and uppers were missing.  Laundry was always an issue as was cleanliness of her room and her wheelchair.  I also got a call at 11pm one night that she had fallen out of her wheelchair even though her requested bedtime was between 6 and 7 pm.

One month prior to being hospitalized because I found her unresponsive in front of the nursing station, she had a bruise that covered her entire left forearm with a gash that no-one on staff could explain how it happened.  They shrank her clothes, put her in clothes that belonged to someone else and that were much to large for her even when she had a closet full of her own clothes.  I made repeated complaints about the laundry, dirty room and filthy wheelchair.  All of which I have photos.

It is a place that cares about the patients and is family friendly, it has one of the best wound care programs in North West Florida if not the BEST! I came here for wound care 4 months ago and all of my needs is meet by the staff here from the business office all the way to the C.N.As, they have a wound care Doctor and facility Doctor that visit weekly and the Nurses can call them at anytime if needed, I have been in an out of Rehabilitation / Nursing  facilities for almost 11 years from Thallahass all the way to Pensacola and I most say this is the BEST one yet!!! So if you are concern about your love one's and know that they are cared for Fort Walton Beach Rehab facility is the way to go FOR THEM believe me I know cause I'm still here.

The staff was extremely professional, caring, attentive and totally friendly.
They created a warm and totally comfortable atmosphere.
Their therapist were firm but gentle, persistent but thoughtful and as they put me thru the various exercise they were very aware of my original short comings, my weaknesses and were fully in control of my body thru out each exercises.
I have never feel so confident as to their control and protectionism during ever work out.
If there were a 6+ in the rating system I would gladly do so.
Super people, super facility and super experience.
THANK YOU LADIES VERY MUCH...Angeles at work.

BUT, It takes a very long time to answer when a patient pushes the nurse button, if it is even answered at all. There is NEVER any ice water in the room when I come. There is water in the same cup that is always there, but never any ice. My friend asks for drinks and hours later, he still has none. The nurses do stand up at the station on their cell phones and are talking to each other. I pushed the nurse's button and then walked up there and they did NOT answer the call. The food is brought cold and has to be turned away. They need more staff or more caring staff. Also, I always see the same woman in a chair in the hallway sleeping in a very uncomfortable position every time I come which is 3 or 4 times a week, I feel so sorry for the patients.

Its also a nursing home with zombies roming the halls, urine smell, they should not mix rehab and nursing home. Brings down the hope of rehab patients to see those people in nursing situation.  Wont be back ever.

So, if the resident came in continent bowel and bladder, it wouldn't be long before you would incontinent bowel and bladder,  or you would have a bladder infection,

                            [review] => My experience with Fort Walton Rehabilitation Center so far has been very positive. The staff seems quite professional. Everything is just spic and span and great. My father said the food is very good, and he is happy with that. The common areas outside are great and includes a wonderful gazebo in the back. This will be my father's second day, so it's kind of early in the game, but as of right now, I would certainly recommend them.

The staff is very attentive, and it is sufficient staff for the community that resides in there.They have a very good operation, it's very clean, and the food is good. I haven't tried the food personally, but judging from my mother-in-law, she eats it up pretty much on a regular basis. I am impressed with the attentiveness of the staff and the cleanliness of Fort Walton Rehabilitation Center.

                            [review] => Parthenon Healthcare Of Fort Walton is a very nice facility.  It is very clean and one does not get the all too familiar "nursing home" smell when entering the facility.  I always see the cleaning staff cleaning the halls and rooms when I'm there.  The staff has always been very nice, helpful, and accommodating to us whenever we have questions.  I've noticed that they are also very nice and attentive to the patients as well.  The patients always look clean and look well cared for.On the downside, the patients often complain about the food.  The food looks good, but they say it does not taste good.  Patients that are well enough to go to the dining room, get a hot fresh meal.  However, the bedridden patients often complain that the food is cold by the time it gets to them.  I would highly recommend the company get better food carts and/or trays to keep the food hot, so everyone can enjoy a hot meal.

REVIEWS

Being apart of many outreach programs in FWB, I’ve visited this facility many times. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely cares about their patients recovery. The facility is clean, modern, and well-equipped, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment. I always feel warm welcome anytime I step into the building.

The rehabilitation programs offered are well-structured and tailored to meet individual needs, and the therapists are not only skilled but also incredibly encouraging. They took the time to listen to concerns and goals, creating a plan that will help make significant progress during your time there. The facility itself is clean, modern, and equipped with everything necessary to aid in recovery.
