This is the absolute worst pharmacy in the Bay Area. You'll sit on hold forever, they NEVER deliver the medication on time. They deliver to "Skilled Nursing Facilities.
They are located in Hayward, CA and they service (and I use that word lightly) nursing homes in San Francisco. For the last few weeks, they managed to deliver some prescriptions on time.
But, I've lost track of the times I've been told that they run out of insulin and blood pressure medications. While that doesn't affect me, it affects other patients & there are two long-term floors with a large number of dementia patients. If they don't have family or friends to check to make sure they are getting their their meds on time, it could cost them their lives.
I've had serious pain medications not delivered within 24 hours. Why would a nursing home in San Francisco use a pharmacy in Hayward when there are so many other pharmacies in San Francisco?
My thought is that it must be about greed. They care less about the patients and I've seen medication for the day before or the day before that arrive two days late at 3:00am or 5:00am.
This review is to advocate for those who have no voice and with the many dementia patients who can't speak or show they are in pain.
When looking into an Assisted Living Facility or a Skilled Nursing Facility in San Francisco or the Bay Area, please ask which pharmacy they use. I asked for well over a year for the name of the pharmacy and was told time and again, it wasn't the nursing home's policy to give out that information.
But, as you can see, I don't give up easily and was finally given the name by various staff members at the nursing home.
By the way, when the residents meet regularly, the lack of medication on a timely manner is one of the regular complaints.
If you are considering helping parents or other loved ones look into Assisted Living or Skilled Nursing Facilities, please do your homework and I mean dig deep, ask to pick patients to speak to, go online and check out reviews. But, please read carefully. All reviews are not as they seem. I hope this helps even one person make the right decision. It's a shame we can't respond to reviews or chat with others on Yelp. I thought there used to be a way you could communicate with other Yelpers but, I must be wrong. Thank you for reading. read more
