Select Specialty Hospital - Orlando South

"What a great place the cafe is to eat for lunch Mrs Elaine and Ms Carline are the greatest along the staff. While my family member was at Select I knew I could get a good meal every day. And it was so delicious. I will be going back soon"

"This place is like a prison hospital. This place should be the LAST resort for you to bring your family member to. The hospitals, especially AdventHealth, pushes you to come here. This place is terrible. Toilets don’t work, lack of care for wound care and they’re ventilators are from the 1960s. Patients stay in their feces for hours. Our family member developed extreme rashes and redness on the bottom. Nurses and CNAs do not care to work. Found them on their phones in the hallway while I rang the bell for assistance and no one came. No doctors at night. No Physical therapy or wound care during the weekend. No briefs or diapers for patients!!! They let them use the bathroom on the paddings in their beds. This place is horrific. STAY AWAY."

"Many people have commented on the medical staff, but I’d like to say how great of a job the cafe staff does. My family member has been a patient here for some time and no matter what, I can always count on Elaine and the whole kitchen staff to greet me with a smile and serve up delicious food. I have never gone away hungry or unsatisfied with a meal served here!"

"67 days ago when my husband first came to select specialty Hospital I was not impressed with the nursing staff. I did not feel they were giving him the attention he needed, and a few of the CNA’s had no bedside manner. Once we got used to them and they us, my feelings changed immensely. This is definitely a five-star institution. The facility is kept very clean. The food is wonderful, it really is home-cooked comfort food. The administration really cares about the patients. The nursing staff is understaffed, but they do the very best to keep the patients comfortable and safe. Where SSH really excels is in their therapy, Respiratory physical, occupational, and speech. Every single therapist went above and beyond their duties. When my husband entered the hospital he was on a ventilator, feeding tube, could not move, and had a very bad infection. He will be leaving without the vent or trach, no feeding tube, can move his arms and legs, and no longer has the infection. We could not be happier with his progress. A very special thank you to Dr. Harrinarine Madhosingh, infectious disease specialist. My husband had an infection which was resistant to most antibiotics, but that didn’t stop Dr. Madhosingh. He kept trying different antibiotics and a combination of drugs until the infection was under control. Dr. Ali and Dr. Vangala were also great and treating my husband. The real stars of SSH are the therapists. Respiratory worked day and night to get my husband to breathe on his own. Physical and occupational therapy, got my husband to move his arms, sit in a chair, and most recently he is now moving his legs. The speech therapist got him off the feeding tube. She checked on him every day and stayed on top of his progress. I wish I could mention everyone that helped my husband, but there were so many. I would like to mention a few, that really stood out. Tiny, Dr. Vangalas’s Nurse Practitioner, Speech Therapist Lauren, Respiratory Therapists Barbara, Lynn, Gregory, and Joseph. Physical Therapists Cintia, Andrea, and Daniel. Occupational Therapists Samantha and Noel. Nursing Staff Kenny L., you seemed to always be there when my husband needed to be moved, Elizabeth, Maureen, Alexis, and Emanite. Thank you all for getting my husband to the next phase of his recovery on to a skilled nursing facility. I would not hesitate to send a family member of a friend to Select Specialty Hospital south."

"Very clean facility. Erica was so great to work with and the doctors really helped us understand exactly what to expect. Alex the food manager had a fun time keeping up with my husbands seven meals a day :) physical therapy sessions twice a day and all the countless nurses, rn’s, nurses assistants, pulmonary team, nutritionist and cleaning staff are all professional and very friendly. Dr. Ayadi is fantastic at what he does."
