“Palm Gardens is absolutely amazing! The care staff is amazing. The social services team is amazing and Michelle the executive Director is amazing. They take amazing care of our residents that go over there and it always smells and looks great. If you need rehab services, this is definitely the place in Sun City Center to send your loved one if even for long-term care!!”

“My rehabilitation services were very intense and rewarding. The therapist focused on my regaining use of range of motion of my limb. They were very patient and caring. I had other experiences at a different facility that was not as good as my experience here at the Palm Gardens Rehab. My overall experience was excellent at the facility, Kudos to the entire Care Team.”
