Grand Terrace Health Care Center has a strong overall Medicare rating. Public reviewers frequently mention: exceptional physical and occupational therapy teams and compassionate and attentive nursing staff. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Grand Terrace Health Care Center is highly regarded by many families for its exceptional physical therapy team and the compassionate, professional nature of its nursing staff. However, there are serious, recurring allegations regarding neglect, inadequate staffing during evening/weekend hours, and failures in dietary management for specific medical needs. While many praise the facility's cleanliness, prospective families should be aware of documented concerns regarding medication errors and slow response times to call lights.

Key Review Excerpts
“The nurses,doctors, and administrative team have provided excellent service. They are compassionate, empathetic and caring. I live in SC and I was so worried that I could not be there with my mom but Stephanie,Ana,Bernardo,Alyssa,Hugo, and Kevin have put those worries to rest.”
“My wife almost died there, until Hospice came in and discovered she was over medicated. Nurses were great , but PT was very rough with her.”
“I was very impressed with the therapists and also most of the staff assigned to answer my call button--two remarkable groups. I was a burden for the kitchen, being Celiac (gluten is poisonous to me) and also a vegetarian who eats fish occasionally. My meals had a remarkable sameness to them--eg fish twice a day!--and sometimes I was sent food that was not gluten-free.”
