Key Review Excerpts
“The nursing staff at Vacaville Ranch Post Acute treated my dad with so much respect and they were so attentive to his needs. We loved every nurse there, I wish I and could name them all.”
“After a Horrible Experience at a different facility, we couldn’t be more pleased with the level of care He is receiving here. Every staff member is kind and caring.”
“Our family was not happy that our dad was being sent here because of its past history. The case worker at the ER reassured us that the place has been on the up since new ownership. After two weeks of rehab and my dad taking a 180 degree turn for the better we are more than happy with the detailed care he received here.”
