Don't bother here. My Sister came out far worse then going in. Staff did not listen to her pain or…read moreproblems. Says they specialize in spine issues, my Sister can barely function ATM from the terrible treatment. They ran her ragged with OT and PT. Had her using machines she had no right using with her broken body. She had spine issues, neurology issues, gastro issues, and urinary issues. YOUR TEAM - NEVER had her checked by doctors to find out the causes. Nope you sent her home, stating she needed 24 hours care and no driving. But yet She has to do those things now, to find out what is still wrong. Best in Brevard - what a joke. Maybe the best of the worst and that's not saying much. She even got a letter from the CEO apologizing for the terrible care, and that terrible care continued until they sent her home, no better than She was before she go into Sea Pines. Such a shame Brevard County, and Florida as a whole has terrible health care, and I can say this after 39 years in this state. So if you wanna get better don't go here, and good luck finding any quality care.

Beware of their fraudulent billing practices. I have attached photos of my hospital bill to show…read moreyou how they added in a false charge for $2,473.33 for "Emergency Room" or "OB ED level V" service that I did NOT receive. I never passed through the OB ED department and I never sat on a gurney in the OB area. I was never seen by their OB ED doctor. When I called to complain I was told that when the triage nurse checked my dilation upon arrival and found that I was fully dilated that that brief assessment by a nurse qualified as ED service! As soon as I arrived I was rushed into a delivery room. The bed was unfolded and the baby was on his way. The on-call OB doc rushed in the room right before the baby was delivered. I gave birth vaginally and without complications in less than 15 minutes after arrival the hospital. Their creative billing team finds ways to sneak in extra charges like $1,306.14 dollars for sitting in the recovery room--the same room delivered in--until the closet sized room near the newborn nursery became available. Choose a different hospital & different health care group. Health First is really MONEY FIRST!

I ended up in this HELL HOLE after having OPEN BACK SURGERY and this is what I saw, at least part…read moreof it. Filthy floor with balls of dust around the floor, rude personnel, not all nurses are trained to deal with surgical dressings from open back surgery patients. Waited a day to see a wound nurse( my wound was draining). Nurses assistants get mad when asked for help when and if they show up to the room. No clue how a back brace works. Drs are not onsite everyday. FOOD: Apple juice was mixed with water maybe they wanted to save money for who knows what, no menu to select your food, 2 slices of bread with 1 slice of turkey ham "sandwich" for dinner, no ensure only an unknown at least for me nutritional drink. An employee suggested me to ask for more than one ginger ale so I can save them for the night. They had no ginger ale at night because the kitchen was closed. All kitchens close at night but they should have a fridge available. BATHROOM: my main concern. The toilet was not a high handicap toilet, it was a standard toilet. No grab bars and there was a bathtub with old vomit or maybe poop, it was a brown circle around the drain. No shower chair or equipment to take a shower. Spent 3 days there before being able to leave and never took a shower, I had to use towels myself to at least clean my upper body. HOSPITAL BED: Old and with a malfunction that ended up braking. The bed was changed after someone tried to "fix" it. The other bed was not any better. DON'T stay in this place, it should be closed. I'm amazed how the government let this place open.

They interact as much as they can but their duties are time consuming and they are encouraging for patient to do themselves which helps them get better. we had a good experience and appreciate our staff!

If the owners of this facility weren't so greedy, this would be a wonderful place to heal, recover,…read moreand live. I can only imagine there is a special place in Hell for people who own and operate facilities like this while they become rich off the suffering of a vulnerable population. My sisters and I took turns staying at VHR with my mother, including bringing in an air mattress so one of us could sleep overnight as well as other furniture and food to make the place semi-livable for her. The fact that we were allowed to be there 24/7 with her is one positive point towards this place. We called a few other rehab facilities in the area, and that was not an option with them. We knew no matter where she ended up that we would not be comfortable leaving her alone (a hard lesson we learned from a previous, though unrelated, experience). I will start with the primarily positive part of our experience, as my 86-year-old mother recovered from a broken back, and that is the people who work there. 95% of them are angels! They honestly care about the residents and go above and beyond as they deal with understaffing (again, due to the greedy owners) and try to make do with the limited resources provided to do their jobs. Dr. Gabriel Cueto was her primary doctor while staying here, and he was outstanding and might have saved her life. He actually listened to her and showed compassion. All but one of the CNAs were also amazing. The first night we had an awful CNA, but after that I can only praise the rest. Their jobs are incredibly difficult. My one beef was that we were repeatedly pressured to have a male CNA, something my mother was not comfortable with when it came to things like helping her with personal hygiene, but they did accommodate her, even though this often meant waiting longer than usual so that she had a female help her with things like a shower or going to the bathroom. The nurses, physical therapists, and occupational therapists were also compassionate. I cannot rave enough about two particular therapists: Tara and Steven. With their help, my mother went from being unable to get out of bed on her own to walking around with the aid of a walker in just a few weeks, a major accomplishment. Another person who made the experience more bearable for all of us was Tracey Taylor, the concierge. So, you may ask: If the staff is so wonderful, what's the problem? Basically, it's the building, items inside the building, and other services. Everything is done on the cheap: incredibly cheap and uncomfortable beds, for people so sick they are stuck in bed; food that makes school cafeteria food look like gourmet fare; furniture, like chairs, end tables, etc. that probably have been there since this place opened; a garden area for residents that has foliage hanging on for dear life; limited cleaning of the rooms, even simple things like no garbage bags in the garbage cans and I rarely saw anyone clean the toilet or sink in the bathroom; and a call-button system that is almost worthless since there's no way to actually call for help other than pushing a button and praying someone sees it light up somewhere. I could go on, but I think those details give a good picture of the situation. Realistically, I know we could not have taken her directly home from the hospital, so rehab was a necessity, and our choices of where to place her were very limited. We are grateful that she was able to get the care she needed at VHR, but we wonder what the experience would have been like for her if one of us hadn't been there 24/7. There just aren't enough people working in the facility, no matter how amazing those people may be, to adequately care for the number of patients they have. Thank goodness it was a temporary stay for our mother. My heart goes out to the permanent residents! There just needs to be "more" of everything: more cleaning of the rooms and shared spaces; more staff; more thought put into the food served; more updates to the call-button system; more money to give the entire building and grounds a major facelift. No doubt, the billionaires who own this place are living very comfortably as they spend the bare minimum to keep this place running.

I know several companies who she has hired, including but not limited to, landscaping, irrigation, and pest control where she completely disregards bills and ignores phone calls.

These principles include honesty, acceptance, hope, faith, integrity, willingness to name a few of which the owner does not possess. I also understand the cornerstone of recovery is helping others without expecting anything in return. In closing, I caution anyone considering help from this organization, as they are preying off the weak for a paycheck.

Each time I stop by or call she is at dinner with new friends, running around the area or telling me about the new work out she did in the gym today. I found my mom is much happier and calmer now.
