About this community

Tuskawilla Nursing and Rehab Center in Winter Springs, Florida, provides inpatient nursing and rehabilitation for people seeking a short-term stay or permanent residential care. A CMS-derived listing reports 98 certified beds; this is a capacity figure, not a statement of current occupancy. The center describes options for recovery after a hospital admission, respite stays, and permanent inpatient residence. Its listed room arrangements are private and semi-private rooms.

For short-term rehabilitation after hospitalization, the center says patients may stay after a hospital admission of at least three nights. The described service includes 24-hour nursing care and physical, occupational, and speech therapy, which may be available up to seven days a week. The center also lists a rehabilitation gym among its features.

Respite inpatient stays are described as lasting from a few days to several months. For permanent inpatient residential care, a person may be admitted from a hospital, assisted living facility, or home. The center says this type of admission requires an order from the person’s primary physician. Admissions are accepted seven days a week.

Alongside general rehabilitation, the center says it is focused on adding specialty clinical programs. In some cases, staff may receive additional training in specialized equipment and treatment programming. One named offering is a post-COVID recovery program for people who were hospitalized after a COVID-19 diagnosis and are in recovery; the program includes nursing and rehabilitation services.

The center lists portable telemedicine equipment for daytime, after-hours, and weekend use, and says residents do not need to leave their beds for the service. Its own feature list identifies landscaped grounds and a rehabilitation gym, as well as private and semi-private rooms. A third-party amenity directory also names a dining room, television, lounge, library or reading room, air conditioning, and art classes. It lists transportation, laundry and housekeeping, pharmacy, salon or barber services, and personal care as well. These additional items are reported by that directory rather than corroborated on the center’s website, which does not describe their schedules, scope, or arrangements.

The center lists its hours as 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This describes its operating schedule and does not establish that every service is available at all hours. Specific availability differs in the published descriptions: short-term stays include 24-hour nursing, therapy may be offered up to seven days weekly, and telemedicine is listed for daytime, after-hours, and weekends. The stated care options range from brief respite stays to permanent inpatient residence.

My father was placed here and nearly died due to the incompetence and ignorance of staff and the nurses here. When we visited him we found him almost unconscious, pale cold skinned, shaking, with an incredibly low and faint heart rate. The nurses refused to admit there was anything wrong and was adamant about keeping him there, if we did he would’ve surely died soon after. This place is not a place of honor, dignity, or respect, and should NEVER be someone’s first or even last resort.

My father was placed here and nearly died due to the incompetence and ignorance of staff and the nurses here. When we visited him we found him almost unconscious, pale cold skinned, shaking, with an incredibly low and faint heart rate. The nurses refused to admit there was anything wrong and was adamant about keeping him there, if we did he would’ve surely died soon after. This place is not a place of honor, dignity, or respect, and should NEVER be someone’s first or even last resort. If any families with TRICARE thinking about putting any member of their families into this program, understand you are wasting your money and insurance for a facility that could care less for the veterans inside.

My mom is a resident there. She went days without eating (food was brought but she didn't eat) and laid there with infections and Dr wouldn't approve sending her to the hospital. I had to tell them to send her to the ER. They found her to have a UTI, gall bladder infection and C-Diff. She stated with an ear infection, they treated her but it didn't get better. No member of the family was notified. She was in terrible shape when we got her to the hospital.

Can’t speak highly enough of the staff and their dedication to the patients at Tuskawilla Nursing and Rehab Center. My good friend was there for several months and I was very impressed with the care from the administration to the admissions director to the social worker staff and the rehab staff. The nurses as well as the CNA’s took meticulous care of her. Working in this field for several years, I recognize that they are one of the best and come highly recommended

Although our stay is short, I can say that the Facility is clean, staff are welcoming and accommodating. Kudos to Rod the Administrator, Julie and Yari from admission . Also special mention to the weekend staff -Jordan, Trachelle, Aline and Momma Marie. Also thank you to Ms. Lee SW and the DON, Angela for understanding and for the help.

Recently had a resident here for rehab. We are local so tend to refer residents here. Just want to show appreciation for this time around. Our resident returned so much stronger than before. He is ambulating better than he probably ever has since moving in with us. Very pleased with the staff. Thank you!!!

My father spent more than two months in rehab here. The staff is absolutely wonderful. Caring for elderly people who can't do much for themselves creates a challenging work environment, and everyone (nurses, CNAs, maintenance, physical therapists, other staff) treats each patient respect and dignity. The facility is attractive, clean, secure, and well-maintained. My father said the food was good, and they have plenty of activities for the residents. I visited my father daily and rarely noticed any odors (and when I did, I could also see someone cleaning up). My father had a couple of falls (they aren't allowed to put bedrails up and he would try to get out of bed without assistance), and I was notified promptly. My father had several setbacks but the PT staff was finally able to get him strong enough to move to an ALF. Over the years, my husband and I have known people who went here for rehab, so when my father needed rehab, we were delighted that they had a bed available. We wouldn't hesitate to have him go back if he needs it, and we highly recommend this facility for rehab and skilled nursing.

Such a great community. They are helpful and supportive. I recommend them to everyone

If I could give negative stars, I would. There are no words for the amount of disrespect the Admissions Department has for the process or for families who do not understand the process. Yari should probably consider a different line of work because she is dismissive, rude and overall not helpful in any form of the word. My mother was in an auto accident and needed several weeks of rehab. We were referred to this facility by the hospital. The hospital attempted several times to provide the necessary information for her to be transferred. From the beginning, it was chaos. The admissions paperwork needed to be sent multiple times, only to be told she was denied without reason. I had to repeatedly call for an update only to have not one message returned. When I did finally get her on the phone she rudely stated, "I said I'll call you by the end of the day". Let me add, she never once asked my name or the name of the patient. (I guess she's psychic). As expected, she never called. My fault for not asking which day she was referring to in her response. When another family member called for an update, Yari would not provide any information other than she was "denied". Ok, fine, but why? Yari, all you did was add more stress to an already difficult situation. We were provided a bogus response without validity. We are not asking for a secret recipe, we are asking why your facility denied care. Ma'am, this is your job; the one YOU CHOSE. A little compassion and courtesy would go a long way in your line of work. I am not sure why you are so mean to individuals who are already going through a tough situation. With all due respect, please do not respond to this review with a boilerplate "We're very sorry for your negative experience..." response you give to all of your negative reviews. Maybe try to empathize with individuals rather than copy and paste. It makes an already bad situation worse. Just DO BETTER!
