Of all the positive things I can say, the thing that is the most meaningful to me is how much each and all of them cared for me both professionally professionally and personally. I felt cared for. I will always be grateful to the people at Bayshire Carlsbad, for how they cared for me while I was recovering from a painful recovery that was fraught with obstacles. Now I am home and I feel confident that I will complete my recovery and have the best possible outcome I will always remember with fondness the many people who helped me at Bayshire Carlsbad.

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.

My 100-year-old mother was at La Paloma for 2 1/2 months and absolutely loved it as did I. She has…read morein the last 15 or so years been in a variety of facilities, and this was the first one where she loved it so much, she felt sad to leave. Although the building is old, they are freshening it up, and it is very clean. Everyone there from the MDs, NP, PAs, nurses, OT, PT, speech therapist, CNAs, and housekeeping were beyond great. All showed a level of expertise, patience, and kindness. No matter how busy or sometimes understaffed the personnel were, not once did anyone act like helping out was a bother. All were pleasant, and happy. Oh, and my mom loved the food too (and she's a picky eater).

Throughout this time, our experience has consistently been positive. From the moment I began working with their team, the staff at Glenbrook has demonstrated exceptional professionalism, compassion, and a genuine commitment to providing high-quality care. The nurses and caregivers are attentive, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure each resident's comfort and dignity. The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and offers a warm, welcoming environment. Communication is another standout strength which provides great peace of mind for both families and care partners. In my role, I've also had the opportunity to collaborate closely with their team during residents' transitions back home with caregiving support. Their coordination during these transitions is outstanding, ensuring that residents and their families feel fully prepared and supported every step of the way. All of the families we've assisted following discharge from Glenbrook Health Center consistently share positive feedback about their experience, which further reflects the quality of care provided. What truly sets Glenbrook apart is their personalized approach to care. It's clear that the team takes the time to understand each resident's unique needs and works diligently to create a respectful and supportive environment. I would confidently recommend Glenbrook Health Center to anyone seeking skilled nursing care for a loved one.

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.

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.)
