10 Best Nursing Homes in Bushnell, FL

We chose this community because out of the ones that we looked into for my friend, this one was the best. The room sizes are good and spacious. I have eaten here and the food is very good, they have a lot of variety. I would recommend Elan Buena Vista to a friend or family member.

The public areas of the facility are very clean. They get a 5 on that. HOWEVER, it appears that at least some of the residents' individual rooms are not nearly as well tended. My mom's small suite clearly had not been cleaned in several months. The shower floor and mat in the bathroom had orange mold growing all over it. The kitchen sink had slime in it from lack of basic wipe down, the microwave had old crumbs in it that were clearly a few weeks old, the carpet had obviously not been vacuumed in weeks. My wife and I spent several hours correcting these deficiencies. When speaking with the staff we were told that a specific housekeeper on that floor is well known to be derelict in this way. The staff were informed that surprise inspections will be held going forward as mom is not getting her money's worth. The food is good for people of that age group. They all seem to like it. It's not as appealing to younger adults but then again, I'm not living there. From what I can tell from afar the activities seem to attract mostly the same cadre of seniors. Folks who would prefer to sit quietly in their rooms all day are left to do precisely that. On the one hand I can understand it, on the other I'd prefer they made an effort to appeal to a wider audience.

Came here not expecting the encouragement care that all nursing staff extended. Special attention given to those with the most needs. A blessing we found this facility! Would recommend to anyone looking for a senior care provider.
