I cannot say enough wonderful things about this facility. My mom is currently at respite care, and from the very beginning, the staff is treating her with kindness, compassion, and respect. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and genuinely cares about her well-being. It gave our family great peace of mind knowing she is in such capable and caring hands. The facility is clean, welcoming, and well-maintained, and the staff always take the time to answer our questions and keep us informed. I am truly grateful for the excellent care my mom is receiving. Thank you to the entire team, especially nurse Monet, lovely assistant Kema and Sheryl you are all always around, for your dedication, professionalism, and the warmth you show every day. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for quality respite or long-term care for a loved one.

CareOne @ Wellington is such an amazing facility that is equipped with wonderful and caring staff members. The hands on care, attention to detail and ample information provided to myself and my loved one by the patient liaison Nannette was extremely appreciated. This was such a refreshing first time experience compared to other nursing facilities. The building is extremely clean, well kept and recently renovated. As soon as you enter the lobby you’re greeted with “new age” technology in the form of digital billboard like displays listing all of the upcoming events. You can really tell that Peter K and his maintenance team care for the grounds as if it was their own home. They also offer onsite laundry services. The food and presentation in the main dining room is like a five star and home environment combined. Being able to sit outside on their wonderful outdoor space made us feel right at home. Some other great highlights we’d like to share are the Weekly BBQs, GREAT activities throughout the day and an extremely professional and courtesy front desk secretary named Desiree. Desiree and Ameer helped to make sure we had all the details we needed to sign up for a beauty salon visit. And YES they even have a beauty salon! Nicholas from the activities department helps form a friendly and inviting environment. I guarantee that you will feel right at home when considering CareOne Wellington for your loved ones. FIVE STARS and beyond! Keep up the great work!
I would like to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional care my grandmother has been receiving. As her family member, it brings great comfort knowing she is in such capable and compassionate hands. Natasha Echeverria, the IP Nurse, has been attentive, knowledgeable, and proactive in ensuring my grandmother’s health and safety are always a priority. Her communication and dedication truly stand out. Evelyn, the aide, has shown incredible kindness and patience. She consistently goes above and beyond to make sure my grandmother is comfortable and well cared for. Yamilst, the unit manager, does an excellent job maintaining a well-organized and supportive environment. It’s clear that their leadership plays a big role in the quality of care provided. Monet, the nurse, has been professional, compassionate, and attentive. She treats my grandmother with dignity and respect, which means so much to our family. The Physical Therapy team has also been amazing, working closely with my grandmother to help improve her strength and mobility. Their encouragement and dedication have made a noticeable difference. Overall, I am truly grateful for this team. Their compassion, professionalism, and commitment to patient care have given my family peace of mind, and we deeply appreciate everything they do.
I’m very grateful for the care my mom received here. She recently had a UTI in the infection prevention nurse Natasha took very good care of her. Natasha stayed on top of everything and help Make sure the infection was addressed and cleared from your system. She also communicated with me very well throughout the process and keeping me informed and reassured. The unit manager was very knowledgeable And helpful on the third floor, and I could also speak about the director of nursing. She was amazing when it came to any problems I had or anything that needed to be fixed or adjusted.
This place has a wonderful and amazing staff and nurses. My dad has stayed multiple times here and never had a issue. From the administration making sure my dad felt like home and transferred from the hospital was great service to the nurses everyday making sure he was okay and really felt like home. Im grateful to the staff to make sure my dad is making out better than ever. Physical therapy staff was amazing, able to get my dad back on his feet slowly but much better than how he arrived. Thank you to everyone.
