Key Review Excerpts
“Moraga Post Acute is an excellent facility! They cared for my mother as they would their own loved one. While in their care my mother received consistently compassionate care, exemplary physical therapy and superb case management.”
“I was an inpatient at Moraga Post Acute for 18 days following a head-on collision... A few staff members truly stood out for their dedication and compassion. Michelle (RN) and Jit (CNA) consistently went above and beyond in their care.”
“They didn’t give her medications for over 17 hours and left her in soiled underpants for 17 hours as well. She was supposed to be on a bipap machine during the night but the one that they put on her was broken.”
