Key Review Excerpts
“I came to Legacy Post-Acute Care after my hip replacement, and I’m so glad I did. This was my and my first time in a skilled nursing facility, and I didn’t know what to expect. When I arrived, I couldn’t walk. But thanks to the incredible therapy team and the support of the entire staff, I’m now leaving fully independent.”
“I had Open Heart Triple Bypass on 6/23/25. I spent a week in the John Muir Cardiac care unit. Then I was transferred to Legacy post-op/rehab in Martinez. It was recommended by my Cardiologist because they follow his Cardiac Protocol. Right away I was made to be feel at home.”
“My 87 year old father was recently at Legacy as he required wound care after having an intensive surgery. The staff there were WONDERFUL!! Cindy, the director of nursing, the LVNs, RNs, CNAs, and PT all did a wonderful job of helping him heal and build back his strength.”
