I understand that most people will never be satisfied with the care that strangers give your loved…read moreones but I would never recommend Pacifica. We've recently moved my Grandmother and are desperately trying to get her healthy again. My Grandmother did not get needed medication for 3 weeks, it ended up being stopped suddenly which made her anxiety and dementia exasperated. When trying to talk to any staff, NO ONE EVER TAKES RESPONSIBILITY. It's always someone else's fault, that no longer works there. No apologies, no accountability. We were also told that when my Grandmothers LIFE SAVINGS had been exhausted she would be able to continue staying at Pacifica on Medicaid. Concerned because there had been SO many things that changed or were not true, we made an appointment to discuss this and other issues. We were immediately told NO she couldn't stay and again, It was the old employees fault for telling us that. It was always filthy, they are always short staffed and the urine smell is awful. When we moved my Grandmother out it became even more obvious how poorly she was cared for with the amount of dirt everywhere. They are building MORE houses and I'm wondering how they will be able to handle more residents? If you're lured in with the new construction, be sure you go over every single detail, because you can not take anyone's word. And if you have a loved one move in, be sure to be there every single day, be there for every doctor appointment, make sure you are aware of every medication. Basically, micromanage every little detail because you can not trust them to truly take care of your person.

I am so disappointed in this facility! When my dad and I first moved my mom in everyone was so nice…read moreand now I just realize it was because we were a cash pay family and they found every way to get more money out of us and not tell us why and they're so quick to take your money but as soon as your loved one passes and you have questions of why you're being charged for a month of care after they've passed away no one will call you back. These people have these fancy titles like Kirk the executive director and Vonnie is another director, then Steven apparently regional director down in the Billing office in San Diego. Not even the courtesy of one call back I've been calling these people for weeks. I've been nicely asking them to go over things with me and Kirk was very rude to my dad. He had just lost his wife and all they care about is money this place disgusts me. They're trying to charge us to renovate a room after we left it better than we got it. It was cleaned and the items were removed. These people only care about money. Be careful before you put your loved one here they'll act nice to your face, but as soon as the money stops, they could give a crap about you or your family! So to all you people over there with the fancy titles, you don't deserve them. You don't have the courtesy to call a person back asking for you to explain why you're charging for care and room and board the month after the person has passed away. This is a violation of CMS and Medicare. All you to say is refer to some paperwork, but you can't tell me which paperwork and where it is, you guys are a joke. I've been patient. I've been calling for weeks leaving messages. No one can call me back. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. I'd like to thank Heidi, who has been able to help in her capacity and Jennifer the nurse at the location but other than that once the titles get higher, you people are despicable treating an older man who had just lost his wife like he's stupid and shove him out the door with an excuse of go read your paperwork. not acceptable! Watch out for Kirk. He cannot keep up with his lies. He says one thing to somebody, and then says something to somebody else he contradicted himself to me in the same day. We did read the paperwork and this phony language that you said is in there it's not there. I'm asking you to show me where this is why you're keeping over half my dad's money with some phony scheme of you're allowed to charge him for it. I have a bill showing charges for room and board for March and my mom passed away in February...horrible!

In addition, they were diligent to give her the best physical care, mindful of all medical issues and quick to respond to any changes in her health. I am very grateful and would recommend Courtyard to any one.

We have observed numerous instances of inconsistencies in properly following both internal procedures contained in her specific care plan, and the orders requested by her physician (an outside healthcare provider). Of significant concern are our observation that medication management (e.g., administering daily prescriptions, inventory and control of medications) is inadequate. For example, staff often deliver medication and a glass of water to her room without staying to ensure she actually takes each medication of which has occasionally resulted in family members finding pills in her bed sheets or on the floor. There are simply too many occurrences of concern to list here. Otherwise, a very nice community.

I returned in February 2018 and I was amazed that the building was even better than I remembered! The entire facility had been upgraded, we still had most of the amazing staff that was there from 2009 and I had the privilege of meeting and working with new employees. We have such an amazing team, nursing staff who truly care for residents like they were family, and a phenomenal rehab team that will make a huge difference in your recovery! When you place your family at a skilled nursing home, whether it be for rehab or for long term care, you should feel like home when you walk in the building. You should see a clean facility with content residents. You should be greeted at the front door with staff who help you with any concerns. I know there are negative reviews out there, but from your first step in to the building you will see the difference. We aren't perfect, but we do learn from our mistakes and we educate to make sure that our residents have the best care possible. The best feeling is when we get to see our residents successfully graduate from our program and walk out of the doors! Life Care Center of Coeur d'Alene is a great place to stay, a great place to work, and I welcome everyone to come tour and see the difference!
