Very disappointed in the care at this facility. My mom was there for 22 days recovering from a…read morestroke. I wouldn't recommend this facility for a patient that requires significant help or has mild cognitive impairment. Post stroke she was wheel chair bound and required assistance for everything. In summary: Dr. B was excellent. Thoughtful, problem solving mindset and treated patient and family with respect, and some humor when appropriate. Rehab Team: Competent and caring. Speech. OT AND PT good therapists. Management: Poor. All patients receive 2 consecutive days with no therapy. That is 2 days isolated in your hospital room with no activities. This is truly detrimental to the healing process. In my experience this exasperated anxiety and feelings of isolation, reversing progress made during the week, disturbing sleep cycles and recovery. It's very important if you are considering this location for a loved one that you reflect on this. Your loved one will be sitting in a hospital bed for two consecutive days with no interaction except a nurse popping in to check on them briefly. Of course family can visit and we did, however it is not a substitute for professional engagement. This workaround that administrators have finagled to ensure patients hit the certain hours required while limiting weekend staffing is absolutely horrible and very transparent in their motives. Nursing Staff: Very inconsistent and overall not good. Didn't appear in alignment with goals of therapy. I didn't feel safe most of the time with the quality of care my mom was receiving. Not all the time, there were a few standouts that were excellent, but overall very lacking. I share this info. so if you're considering this facility you know what to expect. And with hopes that administrators will make changes for future patients. When searching for a rehab facility I admit I was influenced by the the gold star ratings from outside organizations, but after my loved one's experience, I realize this is more a reflection of savvy administrators working to get accolades from governing bodies vs. true gold star care.

Do not come here. The second you become a patient at this…read morefacility you cease to be a human; you become an insurance payment. Before I came to this facility, the nurse liaison, Sarah, sold me on this place. What a phenomenal salesman. She knew I was eager to get Good physical therapy. I've been diagnosed as a partial quadriplegic. I've held the deep belief that I could improve if I could get the right physical therapy. She convinced me that would be the case here; I would receive the best physical therapy, with the best facilities, with the best trainers. I'm on my seventh week without physical therapy. Why? The same Sarah is also somehow the one responsible for getting my letter of agreement to the insurance company. For seven weeks she simply hasn't done this. Why would she? I'm not a person after all, I am an insurance payment. If you happen to run into Sarah, she is a great spinner of stories; none of the stories are true. I was getting RNA until they head-trainer Frank, canceled the program. In a phone conversation with him I tried to explain that I thought there was a miscommunication in regards to the cancellation. He repeatedly talked over me. Not letting me get a word in He repeatedly said, "I don't care what you have to say, I canceled the program." Frank's favorite things to do are moping around and watching TV (not training patients). Recently after coming back from PT I had a new roommate. The roommate I recognized from a previous facility. He assaulted numerous employees: kicking, punching, even throwing his own feces. He is not sane. Imagine the shocking horror I experienced when walking into my own room and finding him feet from my bed separated by a small curtain. It took less than an hour before he threatened me telling me he would **** me up. k*ll me. These aren't empty threats. He has further assaulted at least two employees here. A nurse heard this and he was moved to the room next to mine. We now share a bathroom and a door that links our rooms together. So he can now walk into my room and carry out his threats whenever he's so decides. Imagine the fear and anxiety that are my constant companions in this godforsaken facility. This man can walk, i am partial quadriplegic. I am not safe here. It's hot on my side of the facility because they keep the windows open to outside. Why? Because the stench of urine and defecation is so strong and overpowering coming from this patient Room that the windows have to be open to mitigate the smell. He urinates and defecates in his bed. He refuses to be washed or cleaned -and with the threat of assault who would want to clean him anyways. The administration regularly has 5 CNA's on the floor for 74 beds. That is 14.8 patients per CNA. That is budgeting patient-care out of the building. "They got it", says Jay the administrator when made aware of this predicament. No Jay, they don't. Jay is the third administrator in the year-plus I've been here. Patient- care (or a lack there of) is at an all-time low. The collective morale contained within this facility is at an all-time low. Experienced employees are being fired or leaving and being replaced by 22-year-olds with zero experience (why pay an experienced CNA when you can hire a one with no experience for much cheaper). One of these was put on the floor without finishing orientation in a section he had never had. The incompetence and carelessness of this administration is concerning, it's frightening. My quality of life in this facility is one of constant anxiety, sleepless nights, and complete the dehumanization. I can go on and on with the truth about this place. About how, for instance, I was pushed out of bed by a CNA who said I fell out of bed because of my "bad attitude" (does that mean she did it on purpose?). A new administrator who didn't introduce himself (Jay)came in my room and told me he wanted me to "feel safe" (not to be safe). The fact is: I'm not safe. Like a street preacher proselytizing, here I am trying to keep one person out of hell. Will I be further punished and denied physical therapy because I write this. I very well may be. So be it. If you read this, believe me: to lie in a bed here is to forgo your humanity. Don't come here.

My cousin, who has been sober for 32 years, told me about this spot. He said "once you get in,…read morethey'll take good care of you for all your needs." He was 100 percent correct. At the end of the day, this is a rehab---it's not a vacation home. You have minor chores and are required to wake up in the morning to go to class, but you get what you put into it. If you're open minded and are really ready for change, this place is perfect for you!You are not required to pay any fees upon entering, but after a little while (everything is on a client to client basis so I don't want to give any specific time) you need to catch up on your fees (600 per month for government aid bed). You are required to attend AA meetings off property (in which there is a huge AA and NA community in Escondido and North County SAN Diego). TFC has a kitchen with cooks (Jared, Gavin, Bob, James) that provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner! They definitely provide you with good food and healthy choices too. The Fellowship Center also has a "client counsel" which helps us learn responsibility and leadership. Once you're ready to move on from the rehab, they have transitional housing and sober living housing (which are also on property). All the specialists/counselors have years worth of training/experience in rehabilitation and are very helpful. If you are honest and treat them with respect, they will pay you the same attitude. This isn't a place to come to if you think you're going to be able to slack off and be sneaky, because you will get caught. Metaphorically, this place gives you enough rope to pull yourself out of the mess you've gotten yourself into or hang yourself. For all of us that go into the center, it's a life or death situation, some just aren't ready to get sober and fight everything that the Fellowship Center has to offer. Shoutout to Toya, who was my specialist and always so mindful and compassionate with all my needs. The fellowship center also has an alumni association, so even once you're done with the rehab you have so many friends in sobriety you can rely on and the specialists are always there that you can talk to and confide in. THANKS Ed, Rick, Ray, Toya, Jim, Rob, Michael, Jack, Nancy, Josh, Skip, Jared, Dwayne, Gavin, Bob, James, Glenn, and whoever else I may have missed! You guys rock. 710boy, D.A.

Our family is devastated by the care--or lack of care--my 75-year-old mother received while she was…read moreat this rehabilitation facility. My mom was elderly, immunocompromised, and recovering from surgery. During her stay, she developed an infection and was clearly becoming increasingly ill. Despite her worsening condition, we felt that her decline was not taken seriously enough and that there was a lack of urgency in getting her the medical attention she needed. When her surgeon identified an infection at her post-op appointment, my mom was sent back to rehab rather than immediately being transferred to the ER. She then had to wait more than a week for a CT scan to determine what was causing the infection. During that time, we watched her health deteriorate drastically. We repeatedly witnessed how sick and weak she was becoming, and as her family, we felt helpless. She needed someone to recognize how serious her condition was and advocate for her before she became even more critically ill. My mom ultimately passed away. There are no words to describe how heartbreaking it is to know that someone you love was so sick and vulnerable, yet you felt like the urgency of her condition wasn't recognized or acted upon quickly enough. We trusted this facility to care for my mom when she was at one of the most vulnerable points in her life, and we feel that she deserved a much higher level of attention, monitoring, communication, and advocacy. She was placed in a wheel chair to receive a CT scan the morning I came to pick her up. Couldn't open her eyes, barely communicate, and the nurse said nothing to me. Just went about things like nothing was wrong with my mom. Our family will live with this loss forever. We only wish that our concerns had been taken more seriously and that more had been done when there was still time.

I am writing this as I prepare to leave Villa Rancho Bernardo after nearly five years…read more I have lived with a spinal cord injury for approximately 27 years and came to VRB with established bowel and bladder care requirements--medical necessities, not conveniences. During my stay I was assigned to Fairmont, Wellington II, Lexington, and Santa Fe. Despite those moves, I experienced recurring concerns with completion of my bowel program and missed scheduled suprapubic catheter changes. There were also attempts to coerce me to remain in bed on a scheduled seating day. Because I depend on staff for transfers, had I succumbed to that pressure, it would have affected my independence, routine, and quality of life. A resident should not feel that staying in bed is the only option because assistance is not willingly provided. I repeatedly advocated for myself and participated in meetings. Ultimately, the options presented did not provide a long-term solution compatible with my needs, so I chose another placement. Kyle Dawson (Administrator): It was a pleasure to officially meet you for the first time during what became my final VRB meeting. Thank you for the confirmations of "no" that helped resolve suspicions of my own. Your comments about checking seasoning expiration dates and random tray pulls reminded me of HBO's Getting On. Dark comedy suddenly did not feel so far-fetched. Food has been one of the most persistent complaints I heard during my stay. In my experience, much of it is highly processed, vegetables are often overcooked, and residents have jokingly called the chicken "suspicious" and beef "mystery meat." Checking seasonings and occasionally sampling a tray cannot address concerns about taste, quality, waste, or residents not wanting to eat. I especially commend families who bring meals and spend countless hours ensuring their loved ones are cared for. Your presence does not go unnoticed. To families and staff: advocate, listen, and BE KIND. Everyone is human. To staff who used VRB as a stepping stone and moved forward: I saw myself in you. Keep pursuing work aligned with your purpose. Staff set the tone of a resident's day, and residents deserve care from people who want to provide it. To anyone considering working at VRB or placing a loved one here: know your rights, document concerns, and advocate. Resources include the San Diego County Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program, California Department of Public Health (CDPH), San Diego County Adult Protective Services (APS), and California Labor Commissioner's Office--Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE), when applicable. To residents who may never leave VRB, I send unbreakable love and wishes for clean, restful, dignified and bright days. Many people at VRB treated me with compassion, respect, humor, and kindness. They should not be overshadowed by my difficult experiences. My five stars are for ME surviving VRB--and for those with whom I shared both pleasurable and unpleasant moments. I forgive you. My greatest lesson: know your rights, know your care plan, document what happens, and advocate for yourself. I leave VRB without bitterness, but I will not minimize my experience. The positive and difficult moments are all part of my journey. Thank you & goodbye! Special appreciation: Residents: Ruth Sun, Garry Gross, Marvin Cardwell, Evangelina Cortez De Morales, Jane E.
