My mom is not the easiest person to deal with but the staff always seems to be trying to do what they can with her. All the interactions between staff and patients that I've seen have been kind. Every time I've asked for something the staff has been accommodating.

My family just recently needed a facility for our uncle to rehab to home from and without hesitation we chose Palm Terrace. The staff were absolutely wonderful to him during his stay and went above and beyond to make sure that his time there was the closest it could be to being home.

I have been here for about 16 months. And I feel so much better following the therapies I had here. I was unwell when I came here. But following good therapies, I started feeling good. Now I can do things for myself. The cardiologist here and the therapies are all very good.

I have a family member residing at Palm Terrace and I must say that although she may not be the best patient or easiest to work with, she is extremely well treated here. She is usually very outspoken with complaints about nursing homes, hospitals, and staff, but she has been very positive about her time so far at Palm Terrace. This is the happiest I have seen her in several years. We are very appreciative to the director and staff.

What They’re Saying

The time has come to leave the beautiful people in this place. Having been here before, I was impressed with the new therapy department. Occupational Therapy has helped me learn new ways to put on my shoes and socks and I can do it by myself. Physical Therapy has helped to strengthen my legs and get me back to walking again. If I need therapy again, I will definately come here!

Successful Therapy Patient

Everyone from housekeeping to the nursing staff is wonderful. I know that my mom is in the hands of wonderful, caring people. When she came there 2 years ago, I wasn’t sure I was doing the right thing, but you have proven over and over again that it was the best thing for her that I could have ever done when I could no longer meet her needs myself. Thank you for taking such good care of my mom

Family Member of a Resident

Petersen Health Care was an absolute answer to prayers for our family as we sought the proper facility for our Aunt. The facilities are very home-like, and the care and love given to the residents by the staff is exceptional. I would recommend Petersen Health Care to anyone looking for a home for their loved one with dementia.

Family Member

Well, this was the best decision I could have made for Mom. Every staff person listened to me as though my concerns were their only concerns. They took into consideration all of Mom’s individual needs, even her personal preferences that were not within the normal protocols of the nursing home. They really listened when I talked. They kept me informed. They respected her wishes, through me, since she could no longer express herself.

Family Member

I recently was a short-term resident at Polo Rehabilitation and Health Care following surgery. The staff was incredible and deserve special mention. I appreciated the service and, most of all, the friendship extended to me when I was a resident there. All the CNAs tended to my needs. Their gentle and kind attention was exceptional; I am sure it sped my recovery. Those who prepared and served my meals also played a big role. The food was excellent and the cheery smiles of the servers brightened the sometimes stressful days. The Pathways therapists pushed me to stretch those stiff muscles.

I am sure that I would not be doing as well as I am – and be back in my own apartment — without them. Those who made it possible for me to get to my doctor appointments aided tremendously. It was definitely easier for me in the Polo Rehab van than in a car. You gentlemen are true gentle-men. I truly feel that the Polo Rehabilitation and Health Care facility is one of the best available in this area. I cannot thank all the staff enough. It is top notch nursing care.
