Key Review Excerpts

Jenny is the best rehab therapist out there. She worked with my mom who we all thought was at deaths door and after her shunt surgery I was floored that she got her up and walking and now my mom is actually excited about her future.

Rehab patient's family · 2025★★★★★

The care and kindness extended to Paul was exemplary. We were commuting back-and-forth from the East Coast to care for a family member and the responsiveness to us by phone when we were not able to be in California was remarkable.

Long-term resident's family · 2015★★★★★

The staff here are remarkable! What a nice surprise. From the CNAs, LVNs, RNs to Physical Therapy and Social Services, I give my thanks for their attention and caring under what are sometimes very difficult circumstances.

This facility shows ongoing deficiencies across multiple surveys with families filing three complaint reports regarding resident rights and care planning issues. The most recurring problems involve food safety and dietary services, resident rights protections, and electrical/safety systems. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated violations in key areas like nutrition and resident rights across surveys from 2022 to 2025 suggests persistent operational challenges that warrant careful consideration during your visit.
