The Cabana at Jensen Dunes in Jensen Beach, FL

4.3
It was positive but intake staff did not do a very thorough job making sure all documents were in order and when a DNR situation arose this created a crisis. My dad ended up passing away from Covid contracted during his stay - total time in Cabana was less than 2 weeks.

They are always welcoming and receptive when you have questions or concerns. The facilities are nice, modern and well cared for. It pays to stay in touch with the staff and let them know you are holding them accountable.
