Sun Mar Nursing Center has a strong overall Medicare rating. Public reviewers frequently mention: compassionate and attentive nursing staff and excellent rehabilitation and physical therapy services. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Families can expect high-quality, compassionate care from a staff that many reviewers describe as being like family, particularly for Korean-speaking residents. However, there are serious allegations regarding premature discharge attempts for patients with high care needs and concerns about the facility's willingness to accept certain insurance types.
