Overall Review of Sands At South Beach Care Center

common 30 reviews mention this

Staff kindness and professionalism

Residents and families repeatedly describe staff as kind, professional, and attentive.

Many reviews focus on how supportive the nursing team, CNAs, therapists, and office staff feel day to day. Families describe quick help when they need assistance and say the team is responsive to patient needs and questions. Even some critical reviews still single out portions of care (like certain therapy staff), while the most consistently negative comments target overall responsiveness rather than a lack of human effort in every role.

Cleanliness and hygiene concerns

Hygiene is a mixed experience, with multiple reviews describing strong urine odors or dirty rooms.

Several residents and families praise the facility as clean and well maintained. Others report serious hygiene problems, including lingering urine odors, soiled linens, and room cleanliness issues like leftovers or broken basics in the patient area. One review also describes improvements after earlier concerns, which suggests cleanliness may vary by period and situation rather than being uniformly consistent.

Reviews frequently highlight nursing attention and therapy that supports recovery and independence.

A number of reviews say nursing staff and CNAs provide dependable care and constant attention to residents. Several families also describe rehabilitation therapy and wound care support, saying therapy helped a person regain independence or make progress.
