What this means for your family
Oceanside is well-regarded for its rehabilitation therapy and home-like environment, making it a strong candidate for short-term recovery. However, given the serious reports regarding medical oversight and safety, we strongly recommend that families conduct a thorough tour and ask specific questions about their clinical protocols for fall prevention and medication management.

Key Review Excerpts
“Chris Koller, Director of Physical Therapy, and the PTs and OTs in his department gave excellent advice, information, and adaptive procedures.”
“Cannot recommend. Grandmother was on the floor for an hour before someone came to help her when she fell. They will not give your loved one insulin or check their blood sugars.”
“Nancy, The Director of Social Services always had her door open and was approachable to listen with a smile at all times. She walked the hallways and worked behind the front and was not hiding in a closed door office like other places we have witnessed.”
