My son is in this program and has been for approximately 4 months. He is doing wonderful and I…read morehave seen a huge change in him physically and emotionally. He was in a very bad place when he entered Green Oak. It is Christian based and has worked wonders for my son. No more beating himself up for things he has done in the past. Yes there is a lock down period of two months - Yes you cannot have a phone while at the ranch. If you leave the premises you can take your phone for the day. You can work outside the facility after two months. There are random drug tests and when returning from a day out a breathalyzer test. As far as the food - no it is not great but edible. I don't know what people expect when you are paying $750 per month. You get a roof over your head - continual help and sober living. Classes for you to get sober & stay sober. Yes you do have some chores. When my son first arrived he would feed the goats, Tortes, peacock, horses and two pigs and one llama. Not hard work. Animals got fed twice a day and the goats 3x a day. There is also gate duty. He has been working the gate, teaching men how to study for their GED and has found purpose in his life again. It is learning that life is tough and there are restrictions in many things we do - but the rewards are priceless. My son may stay longer than the 9 months - and hopes to find out what he would like to do when his time is up to leave Green Oak. One Day At a Time. Thank you for Giving me My Son back.

I am glad that, in my case at least, being placed on the third floor was wrong. I was discharged from Village Square, San Marcos this plast Thursday.

Please consider another location to send your love ones…read more Within a 2 week span of my mom's mandatory rehab stay, she went to the ER 3 times! The elevator was broken and phone lines were down for over 3 days. (Not very safe if there was an emergency evacuation.) Additionally, the folks living here all seemed a bit sedated. My mom included. She was always lethargic and just not the same. I do believe the dosage given were inaccurate or she was overly medicated. Lastly, I witnessed a patient fall and one of the other patients yelled for the caretakers to assist. I literally saw 4 caretakers stand there and did nothing. After the 3rd time the patient called out, one of the nurses yelled, "xx that's YOUR patient!" I did seek legal advice but was informed this was common?? (That's for a later review.). But I was advised to go to Yelp and go the State Medical Board... One down.

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 father and myself had such an amazing experience here from the staff who cared beyond any expectation I ever had . Please know that my dad is not an easy guy to like or take care of. Yet every single time I was there, their kindness and care for their patients was truly amazing . The nurses and the physical therapy staff were exemplary caregivers. I'd like to specifically shout out to James and Matt in physical therapy and Demi. The nurses were all so good, but there were so many it's hard to remember their names. To all the kind wonderful people that work here at this facility thank you for taking such good care of my dad and being so nice to me as well. This is hard work and often thankless work so I was beyond surprised at how well they took care of my and kind at the same time. So thankful to you all.

My mother was put in this facility after a trip to the ICU at TriCity…read more The case workers at this facility are terrible. All they are interested in is discharging people that are unsafe discharges. The thing I learned at this facility is how uncaring and heartless the case workers are with people that have memory care issues like dementia and Alzheimer's. Part of their job is to help you with resources to help you with your loved ones find a safe place to go after their stay has ended at Vista Knoll. However, their nursing and CNA staff are very nice. I would 100% never recommend this facility to any one that truly cares about their loved one!

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.

The nurses and the nurses aids are all top drawer if you're unlucky enough to end up in a rehab facility it will change your luck if you end up here I highly recommend Palomar health rehab rehabilitation out of five stars.

The search for the "right" sober living community can be daunting and difficult but I couldn't be happier with the one I chose because it not only changed my life it saved me! Villa Kali Ma came highly recommended to me by many professionals in the recovery industry, including my own therapist. I was interested in seeking various methods to help me come to terms and peace with my addiction and struggling spirit. Kay White just airs peace, serenity, strength, courage, and embodies everything I wanted to be as a woman. The house is full of positive energy and the morning meditation and yoga sessions taught me how to check in with myself and be true to myself. It was an outlet for the angst and pain. The women I lived with became family for not just 8 months but for life! Everything from the food to the movies we watched at Villa Kali Ma were grounding and healthy. House activities like meetings (Aa or alternatives) hiking, yoga and breath workshops, spiritual event, dinner, movies, concerts kept us busy and active in our recovery. I am so proud of the woman I am today and I owe it to Kay and Villa Kali Ma. If you are lost and struggling with addiction I have no doubt you will find peace and solace within the house.

Do not go to this facility to get quality care. VKM is sophomoric therapy at best, careless and…read moreineffective for trauma care. The therapist are poor at managing a catty and melodramatic environment, if not participating in the drama themselves. The whole experience felt very high school-ish, cliquey and low-vibe. One would expect better leadership from the staff of a self proclaimed "trauma-focused" treatment center. The facility does get a few stars for the fluff and luxury, just do not expect an experience that will lend to true recovery. UPDATE: I find it interesting that this center had received no reviews since Feb 2022, then three reviews happen immediately after my review on 3/21/23. Seems an obvious possibility that the center retaliated against my post by sending notification out to their network, coaching them for 5 star reviews. Yet another example of the inauthenticity of this place.

This hospice company used to be owned by Regency Southern Care hospice. Each branch was allowed to…read moreretain automity and customize the branch to pt and employee needs within medicare guidelines-Since Gentiva Hospice has taken it over. There are strict policies that center around corporate demands for cost efficiency more than pt needs. Medicare is supposed to pay for pts to live out the end of thier life in a way that they deserve. But instead gentiva will take as much as they can and give the pt only what is absolutely necessary. The focus for the staff is now quantity of care much more than quality of care. A tight budget is maintained likely due lucrative yearly bonuses for management. Gentiva is a corporation that cares for thier bottom line more than the quality end of life care pts and families deserve. There is good reason why the branch lost half of their staff in just a few months. It is because of greed. I am writing this to make people aware before choosing this hospice as either a pt or for employment. I believe darkness should be exposed to light and honesty is always the best policy. Generosity and good pt care bring a good reputation which makes a business successful not strict policies and tight budgets, and lucrative bonuses. I would give a review of 1 if rating just the corporate policy makers and branch enforcers. I would review 5+ if only reviewing the wonderful field staff who are trying their best to make it work.
