    Review

    Boca Ciega Center, a nursing facility, received mixed reviews from visitors regarding its staff, cleanliness, and overall condition. The general consensus was that the staff members were exceptional in their care and attentiveness towards residents. Both the nursing and physical therapy staff were commended for their professionalism and dedication to patients' well-being.

    One aspect that stood out positively was the quality of food provided at Boca Ciega Center. Visitors found the meals to be enjoyable, indicating that dietary considerations were taken seriously by the facility. However, despite this positive note, there seemed to be some issues with managing the workload. Many reviewers expressed concerns about the overwhelming nature of the staff's responsibilities, which may have impacted other areas of service.

    One such area affected was housekeeping. It appeared that Boca Ciega Center grappled with maintaining cleanliness consistently. Multiple visitors noted that the facility lacked proper housekeeping, leading to less-than-ideal sanitation levels. Rooms were described as average at best and showing signs of being outdated. Moreover, there were instances where reviewers believed that scheduled cleaning had been overlooked entirely.

    Perhaps one of the more concerning aspects mentioned by a visitor was their father's experience during his stay at Boca Ciega Center. Shockingly, they revealed that their father had not been given a shower for over a week during his time there. Such negligence with personal hygiene is distressing and raises questions about the facility's ability to provide thorough and comprehensive care.

    While it is clear that Boca Ciega Center has some areas in need of improvement, it is important to acknowledge its positive aspects as well. The attentive nursing staff and excellent physical therapy department counterbalance some of the shortcomings experienced by visitors. Additionally, despite concerns about cleanliness standards and outdated rooms, families were generally satisfied with food options provided.

    In conclusion, Boca Ciega Center receives a mix of praise and criticism from those who have visited or utilized its services. While the facility's staff members are highly regarded for their compassionate care and expertise, concerns about cleanliness and maintenance persist. The overlooked task of showering a resident for over a week raises questions about the facility's commitment to essential hygiene practices. Boca Ciega Center stands at a crossroads where improvements in housekeeping, room conditions, and workload management are necessary to ensure overall satisfaction from residents and their families.
