No words can express our gratitude


No words can ever truly express our heartfelt gratitude to you and the staff at the Wright’s Rehab Facility. Most assuredly, your care, concern and love of our father has saved his life and hopefully prolonged it, allowing him to spend his remaining years with us.

Every single person on your staff has touched his life and left a lasting mark, a care I doubt to be received or duplicated elsewhere…a debt that can never be repaid.

From the bottom of our hearts.

Thankful for Individualized Care


My family and I are thankful for Gulfshore [Care Center]. My husband recently had a stroke and has been in and out of the hospital due to his failing health. We were referred to Gulfshore by the doctor at the hospital…went in to tour and loved everything about it. Gulfshore has exceeded our expectations by taking good care of my husband and keeping me updated…The care is individualized and makes you feel like a human being and not just a patient.

Better Care at Your Facility Than at Home


All my life all I ever heard were complaints about nursing homes and rehab centers. My mother-in-law is walking today because of the care she received at a rehab center in Spring Hill. During my stay at your facility [Palm Garden of Ocala], I received better care than I will ever get at home! When a marriage goes from mutual sharing to caregiver vs. care receiver, everything changes. That is why I decided to go to your facility. Now back at home I can take care of myself! And be a mutual partner again.

Thank you!

Our family is proud to call you all friend


I’m sending you this special letter of thanks for all the time, work and love you have shown our dear mother (L.) for the last years of her life. She has gone on to heaven…I know she would have loved to hug each one of you and say goodbye. She really loved living there at Fletcher Rehab.

[Our family] is so proud to call you all friend. Please keep up the great work you do for it doesn’t go unnoticed. Our most humble appreciation for all you’ve done.

To the Scott Allen, administrator, and the staff at Fletcher Health and Rehabilitation Center in Tampa.



There were many [at Whispering Oaks] that helped ease my anxiety and skillfully guided me on how to complete the admission process. They always greeted me with a hello, a smile and a desire to help. The staff  helped make R.’s last weeks easier for both of us. They were supportive, answered my questions during a very emotional time and kept him comfortable. I was very fortunate to find Whispering Oaks. May God bless you all in continuing to meet the needs of the medically frail, their families/significant others/friends. Your organization upholds a strong positive culture, one you all should be very proud to be a part of. In today’s medical climate, this is not easy to find. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
