Testimonial: "I started working at Minneola Long Term Care in the fall of 2018 as a PRN nurse. I left my full-time job in the ICU of a different hospital in the fall of 2020 to become a full-time employee at Minneola Healthcare in the Long Term Care. I chose to continue my career at Minneola Healthcare because the administration and staff cared about me as a person and that was something I wanted to be a part of. I also loved the fact that many residents are with us for a long period of time which allows for a deeper relationship with the people we care for." -Emily Dozier, RN, Long Term Care Director of Nursing
