This place is run down. The TVs have a mind of their own the rooms have very poor lighting. The beds are old and lop-sided. And very uncomfortable. The staff is divided into 2 factions, Haitians and Jamaicans...So you do not cet any kind of decent attention...Complaining does nothing..I spoke with every head of every dept. at no avail. They protect their own.. The situation gets worse when there are no visitors.. The staff becomes more aggressive and even fight with patients.. Myself included, simply because I requested a new wheelchair because the one I had had a broken leg rest..One aide in particular was the most confrontational and would actually curse at you in her patois. Her name is Sharon...The food orders were never ever correct. Every single day of my 4 month stay I had to call the kitchen 3 times daily to rectify my meals...Physical therapy is staffed with mentally challenged people. So your level of therapy depended on weather they took their meds or not...This place recently had a name change. But it has become progressively worse..The way I see it it needs to be closed down and receive a complete overhaul to bring it up to modern standards. And then staffed with people who actually want to work and help other people.

Heartland of Tamarac was good. The facility was clean. It was well staffed. They seemed to treat their residents well. They had lots of activities for them to participate in throughout the day. It seemed very nice.

I'm amazed to see positive reviews of this place. My dad had to stay at this facility on 3 or 4 separate times for long term periods. He had personal items stolen. He was non-ambulatory and had to sit in his own filth for hours before being changed. Laundry lost his clothing. The food was usually not edible. I am sorry, but this place is awful and I wouldn't send a relative here unless you can be there to observe the well being of your loved one.

Heartland of Tamarac is a fabulous. It's very good. The place is immaculately clean. The staff are very helpful and very nice, and they took care of my brother very good. . Everybody is cooperative and kind. I have not encountered anyone that's mean or nasty. I know they have activities for the residents. I am very pleased with them.

Heartland of Tamarac was a clean facility. They had a nursing home upstairs and everyday they had activities like bingo. Everyday I went to see my mother and every 2 in the afternoon, we would go upstairs and participate in those activities. It was very good and very active. They had taken good care of my mother. They had an extremely good rehab. There were physical therapist that help her do rehab every morning. She liked that too.

The staff was knowledgeable yet busy. There was a marked difference between efficacy of the rehabilitation staff and staff tasked with everyday care of guests. Rehab, though hard, was one of the things Grandfather looked forward to. The rest of his time was spent largely alone in his room. His basic needs were met well, but he was lonely when his family wasn't with him. So overall, the experience is neutral, a viable solution for anyone looking for a safe place for relatives.
