“1 star - Understaffed, unresponsive, and my aunt’s safety is at risk My aunt was admitted to Vero Beach Care Center for rehab after a hospital stay, and what our family has witnessed since then is deeply alarming. This facility appears to be severely understaffed, and the lack of communication with families is unacceptable for a place that receives government and state funding; funding that comes…”

“Very clean facility. Employees do a wonderful job with their patients and gave my husband excellent care especially considering he had fractured ribs, blood clots in his lungs, RSV, was in pain at times and unable to walk. Hopefully with PT and watchful care he will eventually be able to return home. The Staff has been doing a wonderful job and I commend them for it. Thank you everyone!”

“As a guest to a patient at VBCC my experience w/ staff has always been very friendly courteous efficient & accommodating. The lounge & patient rooms R kept clean & tidy as R their patients in general. Doesn't seem to have any daily activities happening. Just the physical therapy. Overall w/all the busyness the atmosphere always has a clean fresh scent perfuming thru the he air! A Huge Plus!!!!”
