What this means for your family
La Posada is highly regarded for its independent living lifestyle and physical therapy department. However, families of patients requiring skilled nursing or memory care should be vigilant; multiple reviewers have raised concerns about understaffing and slow response times. We strongly recommend asking for specific nurse-to-patient ratios and observing the nursing wing during off-hours before committing.

Key Review Excerpts
“My 88 year old father spent 6 weeks at La Posada's Nursing Center, recovering from a broken femur. He had wonderful medical and nursing care for his varied medical issues and outstanding physical therapy and occupational therapy.”
“Nursing staff is unprofessional. The time it takes for a nurse to respond after pressing the call button is unethical. My dad could be having a medical emergency and it takes 15-20 minutes for someone to respond.”
“Within 18 hours of being there, she was given all the food she was told not to eat. She was given way over the liquid amount she was supposed to have in a day. Her bladder hadn't been emptied since being in the hospital.”
