Others when you ask for them for something will say they will be back in a minute which turns out to be 30 minutes or more or they forget what you want. Suggest they write down things to remember better. They also need to be in the dining areas and stay when meals are served unless an emergency occurs. The food for the most part is deplorable due to a lack of supervision. Especially weekends. They need constant supervision wherein the company including the board of directors need to invest in another head chef in addition to what they have. They don't pay attention to detail most of the time. I would have only 1 to 2 meals a week that would be good. I would give the employees a language test before hiring. The administrators including admit and discharge areas are outstanding. I would suggest that instead of having the discharge review board on just Wednesday's they do this on all weekdays like the hospitals and other rehabs do. It would help if they told all the patients their disposition and intentions to clear up a lot of misunderstandings as it is the patients rights to know that as long as they are lucid.. The Doctors are mostly hospitalists and they do take the time to discuss their intentions with the patients. I had Dr. Bertani and he did a fantastic job getting me back to health on several occasions. The physical therapists are outstanding. They see all kind of injuries and are well trained to help each situation. I don't believe they need any improvement from what they do. Helpful and caring is their motto. Occupational Therapy also helpful and excellent. I believe once a patient displays they can successfully do things on their own they don't need to go over and over the same things and waist time spend it on patients that need it the most.

The facility is clean and it usually smelled fine. The food is great! There's always a good selection of foods--my favorite was the baked chicken.

Unfortunately, I put off writing this review and now I don't remember names, so I can't pinpoint people. All I can say is a huge Thank You to all the staff. When I next need a skilled nursing facility I wouldn't hesitate to ask the social worker at the hospital to put Aviara at the top of the list. Thank You!

I like everyone working there, from the front desk to the medical assistant I feel always treated very well and also I see how they all care so much about the patients.

He was blind and had dementia. Although the nursing staff seemed very nice there was no care.

He had an advance directive with a DNR on file and those wishes were not followed.
