    Horrible experience at this facility. Care was suspect and the manager's behavior criminal.

    This place is truly awful. My mom has been here quite…read moresometime. I am being told by caregivers that she we should remove her immediately. That she doesn't receive adequate care here. That they are extremely understaffed. That there has even come a time when 1 caregiver had to work a whole floor themselves during the morning and evening shift. So therefore how is one person giving showers, feeding them , changing them and caring for them. I am being told my mom is sometimes not fed because they forget to feed her. They use the supplies that I buy for her like combs, socks and shirts and use them for other residents. They use my mom's wipes and briefs for other residents. That the staff does not use hoyer as they should be and sometimes one caregiver is transferring my mom who is not that skinny or lightweight onto the wheel chair and back for meals. I didn't think much because I barely am able to visit with my work schedule and so a I was told this by caregivers Mike the director is apparently cheap and does not provide enough supplies that even caregivers have to go without wipes or gloves. I will be calling the state licensing and have them come in the specific days and times the caregivers have explained to me so that they could see what's really going on.

    This facility is understaffed and the recovery patients are neglected. My aunt was transferred…read morethere from the hospital and was not given much needed help. She stood in the bathroom waiting for help to pull up her pants but nobody came so she struggled to dress herself in agonizing pain. She received no shower and just sat in the bed with little interaction from staff. The facility is old, worn down, no paintings or decor, just joyless and depressing with a broken tv in the room. Do not recommend this place for your loved ones to recover.

    My mom came to Vista view after a surgical procedure on her foot. She has been to this facility…read moremultiple times. We chose it for this reason, as we know many of the nursing team and she feels comfortable knowing there will be familiar faces. It is also easily accessible for me to go daily to check in and make sure things are going as they should. I want to be clear that while I am giving a poor rating to this place it is primarily due to the administrative staff and "care team"- I was never contacted by the care manager or social worker to talk about my mom's care, EXCEPT for after I reached out multiple times. And even then one person didn't know what another was doing/telling the family member. If I wasn't so frustrated and angry I would have been embarrassed for them. The nurses, CNAs and therapists are all fantastic- caring, patient and doing the best they can considering their limitations. It seems horribly understaffed and the communication is virtually nonexistent. Again- NOT the people actually caring for your loved one. They are great. But any coordinating you need to do or information gathering or support you need... good luck! In the end, it was literally laughable how many balls were dropped. If you find yourself or a loved one in this facility plan to have an advocate who can be actively involved in coordinating. I'm hoping desperately that my mom won't need another stay in skilled nursing. I'm not naive enough to think the grass would be greener in another facility, but I would be very hesitant in sending her back to Vista View. Having said all of this- MANY thanks to Ruth, Brenda, Anna, Norchell and Sam. Your care for my mom has not gone unnoticed amid the sh*#show going on in the rest of this place. (There were other fantastic nurses but I can't remember their names.)

    My family and I couldn't be happier with Sunrise of Oceanside and the amazing staff that cared for…read moremy grandparents until their recent passing. Upon move in, Sunrise literally rolled out a red carpet for my grandparents and cared for them as if they were celebrities throughout the remaining months of their lives. It was a true treat for them, but even more significant to us - the joy that radiated within my grandparents is something we hadn't seen in some time! My grandfather literally referred to the facility as "opulent and extravagant"; he felt like he was on eternal vacation. We chose Sunrise as they had memory care, which would allow my grandparents to stay together as my grandfathers dementia progressed. Unfortunately, my grandparents passed sooner than we anticipated, but in the 5 months we spent with Sunrise we established lasting connections. My family and I will be forever indebted to each of the talented and caring staff that loved my grandparents like family.

The staff went through extraordinary measures to make this happen in 24 hours. Unfortunately and unbeknownst to me she needed much more acute care but wow, everyone at Sunrise went through a huge effort to help my mom and the residents seemed very happy. It's unfortunate there's so few reviews but this is definitely the best place I've seen and I've seen plenty. I cannot recommend more.

    I am about at the end of a long stay at La Paloma. I have had experiences in other rehab facilities…read morewhere I was not at all happy La Paloma is a happy surprise! The care is all it should be - prompt, personable and professional. The CNA"s, beginning with Le and everyone else are the absolute best. They have the hardest job and do it with the most caring spirit and they are where healing begins! The PT & OT teams led by Travis are thoroughly professional while always encouraging that our goals will be achieved. We know we're in caring, capable hands. My wound care team worked diligently to assure a very difficult healing. Dr's. Nurses, all supportive and on the spot fulfilling needs. La Paloma earns it's 5 stars!

    Worst experience! I…read morehad an emergency surgery & was too weak to go home from the hospital 1) I was told Dr. Novac was my doctor while at the facility. Dr. Novac visited me once after I was admitted & barked questions at me. A couple of days later, there was confusion on my new prescriptions & I was concerned about my abdominal surgical site. I requested to talk to him again he refused to meet with me in the 11 days I was there. Husband called facility asking to speak to him & was told it wasn't permitted. (Red Flag) 2) Not once but twice, I had to correct 2 different CNA's? Nurses? about my meds being changed. In fact, I was already given meds that I wasn't supposed to take & I brought it up but was told I was mistaken. The young man who dispensed the meds, double checked & later apologized. The 2nd time it was a nurse, she argued with me, went out & grabbed the blister pack of pills to prove she was right & I had to point the name of meds on package & show her she was calling the meds by the wrong name! That was where the confusion was, both meds started with the same 2 letters. Scary! These are supposed to be professionals. 3) In 11 days, I was moved THREE times to 3 different rooms! I'm supposed to be resting to get stronger to go home. In all fairness, I initially requested to be moved to a quieter spot. The door to the rooms are generally left open & I had a light shining in my eyes all night long plus was in a very noisy busy area & they did move me in a day or 2. I was so grateful. This room was more quiet But every time the bathroom door was opened the stench of MOLD was super strong. I noticed there was a hole in the drywall under the sink & towels wrapped around pipes under the sink. One day, I had to let a cna know there was water on the bathroom floor which was mopped. Safety Issue! A few days later!! I was moved yet again. 3) In each room there are 3 beds. 1 bathroom. WARNING! It is not unusual for your roommate to be a sundowner. Be prepared for screaming and disruptive behavior all night. Nurses also come in the room at all hours to change their diaper and of course the lights go on & disrupt any sleep you might get. They are not quiet, either. I can't begin to tell you how anxious & stressed I became. Even with earplugs lights being shined all hours was so disruptive to sleeping. 4) Physical therapist & occupational therapists were very nice. However, I was super weak, had to use a walker, just had abdominal surgery & after a couple of sessions, I was so sore that I had to take tylenol and place ice on my abdomen for a few hours for 2 days. Knowing this, they continued to nudge me to do the exercises until I mentioned it to the head of the department in passing, then the exercises did become lighter. I was told by both therapists at different times I should have told them I was in pain during the session. But I tried to to tell them the discomfort did not happen during the sessions. Knowing how weak I was plus just having abdominal surgery possibly from the beginning warranted a gentler approach. 5) I had noticed that some "problem patients" would use the call button repeatedly for the nurses with stupid questions, etc. They were eventually ignored. But there is something so disturbing about hearing someone yell "NURSE" sometimes for hours. I was so stressed out. I was determined to be a good patient while here. It was clear to me that this facility was extremely understaffed. But ONE day I really needed to speak to a nurse. ONE DAY out of 11 days I pushed the nurse button only to be told the nurse would be right in. An hour later, I pushed the button & was told the nurse just had her break but would be right in. An hour later I tried again and was told yet another excuse. Nurse never came, I gave up and the next morning she came in to see what i wanted the night before without much interest. Very disappointing & frustrating. 6) Not always, but for the most part the food was less than cafeteria food. Some meals were ok. You fill out a meal form when you get there. I tried cold cereal for breakfast & it upset my stomach. I told 2 different people and also filled out another form but continued to get the food I couldn't eat. Sometimes, my roommate got my food by mistake and I got theirs. That's my experience. I hope it helps someone. In my case I was discharged from the hospital unexpectedly & my husband was contacted by a social worker or insurance agent (?) & was told I was going to La Paloma. This all happened within a couple of hours. Knowing what we know now, check with your insurance & see which facilities are covered. And if possible check the reviews. This was our first experience with a nursing facility and I'm not sure if they are all this bad, but it was a horrible experience.
