She was prescribed Norco and Gabapentin to manage post-surgical pain, which left her in a weakened state, and she was discharged to a rehabilitation facility of our choosing. After touring several facilities from Providence's recommended list, we selected Beachside Post Acute. We chose Beachside because we needed a facility that specializes in both physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT). It's a cozy, thoughtfully designed property in a breezy part of Torrance, conveniently located near both Walgreens and CVS. The building appears to have been a converted motor lodge, with a single-level layout that wraps around a central outdoor courtyard. This design allows each room to have either a window or sliding glass door, providing natural light and fresh air--something we found especially valuable. The PT staff have access to a dedicated room with specialized equipment, and both the main corridor and courtyard are used for assisted therapy sessions. There's also a recreation room and dining area where patients can enjoy meals outside their rooms, offering a welcome change of scenery. The kitchen serves nutritious, genuinely tasty meals--I can personally attest to that. What truly sets Beachside apart is the staff. They are compassionate, attentive, and clearly take pride in their work. To those who may read this--Susan, Marisol, Julius, Eva, Kimberly, Bryan, Alyssa, and everyone else--thank you. You made a difficult experience far more manageable, and we are deeply grateful.

It took me a while to post this review. I didn't want to revisit this place in my memory because of…read moresuch a terrible experience, but I finally decided to share it in the hope of helping future patients and residents. If you are working with a case manager who promises you that this is a core center and the best facility, please do not believe a word of it. On my first day there, I witnessed a patient getting up from a wheelchair, falling, and scraping the back of his head against a wall while the nurses simply sat there watching. I was the one who rushed to help him up. My dad was sent there to recover from a hospital procedure that had caused inflammation. He lasted only seven days before suffering from an infection. They put my dad in a room with two other patients. It was a very small room with a dirty curtain and such a foul smell that I actually threw up when I visited. On the second night, they called me at 2 a.m. to tell me they had found Dad on the floor and didn't know how he could have fallen. Keep in mind that his bed had rails, but the bed was broken. After a meeting with the staff, who eagerly promised to provide several services, including diligent monitoring of Dad's feeding tube and TPN (total parenteral nutrition) feeding, speech therapy, and an activities specialist, I never saw any of them at Dad's bedside. They made promises, but none of them were kept. At one point, a nurse's aide tried to remove Dad's dirty, soiled gown, but it became tangled around his feeding tube. She asked the attending nurse to help remove it. The next day, when I came to see Dad, his gown was still attached to the tube. It had remained that way overnight. Dad's TPN feeding bag needed to be replaced, but the replacement was delayed by 10 hours. Dad depended on that bag for his nutrition because he was not eating by mouth like the other patients. Sure enough, there was no feeding bag, just a dirty gown wrapped around the tube. Dad then suffered a severe infection and was rushed to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, just two blocks away. He had a TPN PICC line infection, which I believe was caused by the nursing home's negligence. Even the hospital ER doctor told us that the nursing home had a reputation for sending patients to the emergency room in poor condition and neglecting their care. When we returned the next morning to collect Dad's belongings, we signed a form instructing the nursing home to close his account. Despite this, they tried to charge us $2,000 for keeping Dad's bed for a few days. I had to have a very firm conversation with the billing department before they finally acknowledged that I had signed the form and removed the charges. Meanwhile, they were harassing me about the bill while my dad was fighting for his life at UCLA. There was no compassion or apparent remorse, even though they were clearly in the wrong and had miscommunicated with their own staff. Please, if you ever have to place a loved one in a nursing home, no matter how short the stay, do your research. Do not blindly trust your case manager's recommendations. Visit the facility beforehand, and trust your instincts. If the place is dirty and the staff are busier celebrating a potluck than attending to the residents' needs, take that as a serious warning sign. SUNNYSIDE IS HELL--THERE IS NOTHING SUNNY ABOUT THIS PLACE.

After removal of a large colon cancer tumor and part of his stomach and colon he was transferred to Heritage from Harbor Medical. My wife (Very experienced RN), John's local caregiver (Another very experienced RN), and I have been consistently actually shocked at the CONSISTENTLY OUTSTANDING care John has received over these almost 2 years. The staff are caring, communicate well with each other, with John, and with us (even though my wife and I are over 1,000 miles away), their services coordinator seamlessly arranges for my brother's transport to medical appointments, they almost never miss medication, their bathing, bed handling, and overall care of him are truly excellent. We are routinely in touch with the nursing staff, charge nurses, and again find them consistently excellent. We simply do not have to worry about him getting poor treatment, bed sores, and the like. Nursing Facilities can be pretty awful from my own personal family experience, and Heritage stands out like a shining star. We talk about the quality treatment at Heritage routinely to others. It sets an excellent example of what can be possible in a nursing facility. Thank you, Heritage staff!!!
