After working in the healthcare and rehabilitation industry for over a decade, I can honestly say…read morethis is one of the best facilities I've ever experienced. The facility is extremely clean, the care is exceptional, and the nursing team is truly available 24/7 and always attentive. The rehabilitation department, including PT and OT, is top notch and genuinely focused on helping patients improve and feel supported every step of the way. What stands out most is the level of compassion, professionalism, and teamwork throughout the entire building. I would absolutely trust this facility with my own family, and that says everything. Truly outstanding care and services.

My mother suffered a devastating stroke that left her unable to walk, unable to move her arms, and barely able to speak--at one point, the only word she could say was "ok." As a family, we were scared, overwhelmed, and unsure of what her future would look like. What this facility did for her... truly changed everything. Today, she is now speaking over 100 words. That transformation alone speaks volumes about the dedication and skill of the speech therapy team. They didn't just do their job--they gave my mother her voice back. The physical therapy department worked with her consistently, day in and day out. Even though she's still on her journey toward walking and regaining full use of her hands, the progress she's made has given her something priceless: belief. She now knows recovery is possible, and that mindset shift is everything. Let's be real--no place is perfect. But what sets this facility apart is the effort, the consistency, and the care. In a place where patients are going through some of the hardest moments of their lives, the staff still shows up with compassion and professionalism. From the valet to the front desk, from housekeeping to dietary staff, management, and especially the nurses and students putting in real, hands-on work--you can feel that people here care. And that matters more than anything. This is not just a facility--it's a place where real healing happens. To everyone there: thank you for giving my mother progress, hope, and dignity. Please keep doing what you're doing--you are truly changing lives.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Cedar-Sinai and CRI Never be afraid to seek medical attention, even when…read moreyou think it may be for something minor. Finding out that you have a brain tumor is life-changing. It changes your perspective, your priorities, and the choices you make moving forward. Please, listen to your body. Sometimes, the changes we experience are our body's way of screaming for our attention and alerting us that something isn't right. Never ignore those signs. My recent surgery took place at Cedar-Sinai, one of the best hospitals, under the care of Dr. Patil. What makes this journey especially meaningful to me is that my first brain tumor surgery was also performed at Cedar-Sinai in 2013. When faced with this frightening reality once again, I returned to the place and the medical professionals who had helped me through it before. This time, however, I am moving forward with new medical advancements, evolving technology, and renewed hope on my side. But as wonderful as medical advancements are, compassion, kindness, and humanity should ALWAYS remain at the heart of patient care. And CRI did not disappoint! Throughout one of the most vulnerable and frightening experiences of my life, I was surrounded by kindhearted, compassionate individuals who treated me with such warmth and care. I wish I could name every single person who touched my heart, but there were so many wonderful souls that I simply cannot name them all individually. What I can say is that I felt truly blessed to have been in their care. Emotionally and physically, I was not as strong as I had hoped to be. There were moments when the weight of everything I was experiencing felt overwhelming. Yet, these incredible individuals did more than care for me medically. They encouraged me, lifted my spirits, gave me strength when I needed it most, and reminded me that even during our darkest moments, there is still so much goodness and humanity in this world. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! CRI has made an extraordinary difference in my life during a time when I needed guidance, reassurance, and compassion more than ever. You may see yourselves as simply doing your jobs, but please know that your kindness reaches far beyond the walls of your institution. Your words, your patience, your gentle gestures, and your willingness to care leave lasting impressions on the hearts of the people you serve. I will continue to pray that this institution receives the financial support and resources it needs to continue its incredible work, and that the health, dignity, and well-being of every patient will always remain its highest priority. To every person who played a part in my care, please know that you have touched my life in ways words can hardly express. You were there for me during a time of fear and uncertainty, and you helped bring comfort, strength, and hope into a chapter of my life that I never expected to face again. Sometimes, the greatest gift we can give another human being is not simply medical care, but the reassurance that they are not alone in their fight. Thank you, CRI, for being that gift to me. I will carry your kindness in my heart, and I pray that you continue to bless countless other patients and families just as you have blessed mine. With heartfelt gratitude, love, and prayers, Thank you for making a difference in a life that needed you more than you will ever know.

If you are reading this review it's because you or a love one is being referred here and you want…read moreto know as much as possible on where you are going. I understand because I did the same thing. Early September my Dad suffered a stroke and the doctors at Cedar Sinai said my Dad was a candidate to come here. So naturally I looked CRI up. Lots of mixed reviews so I can only tell you about our experience. Out of the 18 days my Dad was there, I was with him for 16 of those day & nights. So here it goes for my Dads stay on the 6th Flor - Nurses are amazing. Hilda, Ellin, Nellie and they went above and beyond every single time they were with my Dad. They were very kind. - Melissa from Food Services was kind, attentive and always making sure my Dad knew what food options he had. She's amazing! - Sonia with House Keeping, always making sure we had everything we needed. Including me. - Therapist: Jackie (PT), Laurent (OT) and Hailey (ST) did everything they can to help my Dad get better. They were patient & kind. NOW THESE PEOPLE WENT ABOVE & BEYOND FOR MY DAD. Physical Therapist: Lindsay & Josh. You both stood out above the rest. Josh was in training and he did great! Lindsay you are INCREDIBLE! Thank you for encouraging and pushing my Dad! You really made him work while also training Josh. He's going to be amazing because of you! I appreciate you both so much for pouring into my dad. Having you for therapy would always bring a big smile to his face. Nurse Assistant: JEREMY! This man needs a RAISE! Out of everybody there he spent the most time with my dad. He gained my dad's trust and my dad loved him. He was always kind, funny, attentive. He always made sure my dad was comfortable and was patient with him and took his time with whatever he needed. He was also very respectful not only to me but to my dad. Treated him like a really good human. I will be eternally grateful I will never forget him. If you have made it this far, one of the biggest suggestions I can give to you is make sure you are there to advocate for your loved one. If you notice I have not named any of the doctors because I had a terrible experience with the first assigned doctor. Terrible bed side manner and in and out like a toaster oven. I had to remove him from my Dads. I did get to speak with the medical director CHRISTOPHER BADOUKIAN however it seamed more like a "save face" room call so I wouldn't file a grievance against Dr. Shin for minimizing, my dad's symptoms and delaying care. Regardless I still give this place five stars because of the wonderful THERAPIST & SUPPORT STAFF they have here. They truly wanted me Dad to get better. ADVICE. ADVOCATE for yourself and your loved one. DON'T LET THE DOCTORS RUSH YOU & SPEAK UP. If you or your loved one put in the work, YOU WILL SEE PROGRESS. Still 5 Stars.

Caring Staff and a Positive Recovery Experience…read more My mom Felisa Pivko stayed at Brentwood Healthcare Center while recovering from knee surgery, and we were very grateful for the care she received. The staff was kind, attentive, professional, and well-qualified. They genuinely cared about her comfort and recovery, and the physical therapy services helped her work toward getting back on her feet. The facility also has a nice outdoor patio where residents can enjoy some fresh air, and our family was able to visit and spend time with her, which meant a lot. The center cares for people recovering from surgery who need a few weeks of rehabilitation, as well as residents who require longer-term care. A couple of helpful tips: The food wasn't our favorite, so if you're particular about meals, you may want to bring some of your own. Overall, we appreciated the kindness, patience, and dedication of the staff and are thankful for the care my mom received.

Short Version: I cannot say enough great things about CCPT and Stacy Barrows. My therapy with Stacy…read morewas also my introduction to Feldenkrais (A type of gentle/ no impact physical therapy). I had been in a car accident 4 years earlier and Stacy worked with me regularly until I was rid of 95% + of the pain I lived with daily from it. Not only was the therapy miraculous for me, but Stacy herself is always so kind, patient, focused, and is such an amazing light. Her knowledge and application of Feldenkrais combined with her intuitive and gentle touch were absolutely essential in my healing. I was in my 20's for the accident and 20/ 30's for the healing. I am eternally grateful that I will get to spend my mid-older years aging without the added issues of that previous damage. ***Stacy is completely emerged in her field. She is constantly keeping up with the news research and techniques, attends and hosts seminars, and has even become a product creator, filling the needs that were there for patients. Full Story: This office and Stacy Barrows have given me back a quality of life that I was sure I had lost. This is no exaggeration. I was in a car accident in 1999 and at only 20-somthing years old had suffered significant soft tissue injury. The insurance companies had completely cheated me (of course) and the practitioners I had become a patient of were not helpful - at all. I was living with back, neck, and jaw pain every day as well as bad headaches several times a week. With no opportunity to receive proper medical care and with the years building up bad habits in an unconscious attempt to circumvent the pain, I was certain this is how I would have to live the rest of my life. - Until Stacy. 4 years later (2003), my boss offered to send me to her. He had seen her years ago after a motorcycle accident that had left his knees and shoulders in serious condition. He raved about her and I was no about to pass up the opportunity to get any help I could. After seeing her regularly for a couple of years (sounds lengthy, but UNQUESTIONABLY worth it) I now live with only an occasional tweaked muscle here and there - like moving furniture, sleeping on an air mattress, or really long flights. And honestly, it's 16 years later (after the accident) so some of that is likely just age. LoL Anyhow, not only has Stacy gotten my physical condition to a place where I can trapeze, ride motorcycles, and sleep through the night (!), but she has completely changed the way I see the physical therapy profession forever. It is no exaggeration when I say that Stacy is easily one of my favorite people on this Earth.

Every visit I learn a new exercise to help with the hyper mobility in my shoulder. I am gaining strength in the surrounding muscles of my shoulder, which is helping to reduce my pain. I love the Kinesio taping, the massage and the icing w/ electrotherapy and cold laser therapy.

I am lucky to have known some of the staff of NuView for a few years now. The role they play in…read moregetting people sober is absolutely pivotal. Every staff member has a very thorough education in addiction and recovery. I'm talking book knowledge as well as years of (sometimes harrowing, often inspiring) experiences. They have an authentic passion for recovery. And they know what this kind of transformation should look like. The clinical staff at NuView possesses a diverse range of skills. These skill sets include pragmatic things like self-development training, which can help clients get jobs, write resumes, or even just manage their own money better. But they also teach important qualities like emotional intelligence, conflict management, and how to handle not wanting to get out of bed in the morning. These are important skills to learn after someone has stopped using drugs and alcohol. Why? Life gets hard when you can't rely on alcohol or drugs to make it SEEM good. So you need to do the hard work of MAKING your life better. At NuView's outpatient programs, they support and guide you through that process. Much of that involves group therapy and other kinds of counseling, including family therapy and one on one meetings. They locate your weak points and help you create a plan for dealing with them, always making sure you take it one step at a time. They also share their own knowledge with you. They know what addiction is from a medical perspective. And there's no reason why someone with an addiction shouldn't know that as well. Sometimes people don't know why they feel such a strong compulsion to drink or do drugs. The staff at NuView help clients realize that it's not some moral failure - it's a legitimate mental health condition with neurological, emotional, and interpersonal causes. And it can be treated. NuView is especially good at helping people who have a history of relapse or who have struggled with getting sober even after attending other rehabs. This is because they put more personal care into their treatment approaches than most other rehabs. Their treatment plans are generally customized for each individual client. This makes sense, since addiction is a pretty wide category, and it is not the same for everyone. Their outpatient programs provide a holistic approach to addiction. Clients have access to a safe and supportive community. They also get a social network of other people in recovery, so they can all grow together. You won't feel alone even for one minute throughout this process. For family members, they also put on many events and try to include them in the treatment process. Literally everyone gets a chance to heal and to work on themselves. If you're dealing with addiction now or if you just quit, it's time to treat yourself to a clean and sober life that's actually good. Why get sober and be miserable? At NuView, no matter how broken down you are, you WILL experience a transformation. Simple as that.

You say you'll stay for 30, they say you need to stay for 60. While the longer you remain in a CREDIBLE patient-based (usually under the care of a hospital with doctor overseeing the program) the greater chance of staying sober, BUT if you stay 60, they push for 90. God forbid you announce after 17 days that you will be leaving in 30, the staff becomes very passive aggressive and vascillates between trying to threaten clients with relapse and ignoring them altogether. The staff has ZERO accreditations other than being in recovery themselves. HIPPA and privacy is completely ignored, and have no medical background whatsoever. They do not treat the clients with any compassion or respect, unless you/your family has money. There were three people out of 65 who were solely there for alcohol (no cross-addiction). They were handed The Big Book and that was it. Those with eating disorders, methamphetamine, or pill addictions had separate groups for counseling daily. Those three never had any sessions where they were able to discuss their addiction or were given any help. The entire group went to AA speaker meetings 7 days a week, but never got delve into their own issues. Kathleen made a point to dress down the entire group over unhappy staff and actually said, "We DO NOT CARE how you got here. We don't care about your past. Stop whining and listen to your counselors, they have heard every lie and excuse coming out of you and know you better than you know yourself!" Sobriety 101, addiction is a symptom of the problem that brought them to rehab. There was absolutely no communication with family members, which is essential as it is a family disease. One person who completed their treatment after 90 days, was back the very next day as they relapsed that night. They had something called Family Week, that only those who had been at the facility for at least 90 days MIGHT be able to attend, but it was months away. Family members were encouraged to take an entire week off of work and pay for a week's stay at a hotel where they held it. Some of these people's loved ones spent every last dime to keep them there and could not take off work for a day, let alone an entire week. Kathleen's "special talent" is to single out a client and proceed to rip them apart in front of their peers (and was said to do this at Family Week repeatedly over the course of the week). Nothing she said was in the vein of healing. It was 45 minutes of verbal abuse that left people completely traumatized. MacKenzie Phillips wasn't an active member of the program, she just wandered the halls, if she was there at all. Breathe has a lot of glossy pictures and empty promises (equine therapy...there was none, a swimming pool...clients were not allowed to use it, trips to the beach...nope, too much liability). The founder bought up all but two houses on a street in Laurel Canyon (you do the math) and it looks great on their website, but that's it. It is NOT a safe place to heal. ***Bottom line, if you or someone needs help with addiction, please find a PATIENT-BASED rehab facility, that encourages family participation through visitation and group therapy. The counselors should hold degrees in psychology, drug and addiction counseling, etc and have done clinical hours during their studies. Places that show you pictures of what looks like a 5-star resort with promises of gourmet food, a spa-like atmosphere, and an easy process do not have their client's best interest at heart. As with any facility, you need to do your due diligence, ask questions, and review their qualifications. If I can educate just one person on what to look for and what to avoid, so that they can help a loved one or themselves acheive sobriety in a safe and healthy environment, then I will consider writing this incredibly worthwhile.

I had an amazing experience at The Villa and can't recommend this treatment center enough. From the…read moremoment I (nervously) walked in, I could tell that the staff genuinely cared about what I was going thru and wanted me to get well. They made me instantly feel welcomed and comfortable, and throughout my stay I grew even more appreciative for the compassion and skill level of the staff. Their approach is very holistic and expands far beyond just the 12 steps. We learned meditation, breathing exercises, yoga, acupuncture, among many other things. The therapists are the best I've ever spoken with. I had 2 assigned to me including a trauma therapist who helped me work through issues I had never really spoken about with anyone before, helping connect my childhood trauma with my substance abuse issues, and giving me the tools to deal with it. The house is very spacious and comfortable with a giant pool and hot tub, and we had time to relax and match movies and hang out. I laughed a lot with the other clients and had more fun than I ever would have imagined in rehab and made new friends that I've continued to stay friends with after leaving. Beyond just getting clean, the Villa gave me the breakthroughs and tools I needed to stay sober and taught me how to enjoy life, laugh, and have fun without needing alcohol and for that I'm forever grateful. I checked out of the Villa a completely different person, ready to take on the world. Don't think twice about going here if you're in need of help!

I can't say enough about the Villa Treatment Center. This is the review you want to read, as I have…read moreworked in the industry for years and was also a client of The Villa. The Villa is THE place to go. I have people from all walks of life, from friends, family, friends of friends, come to me and ask where their loved one should go and The Villa is the ONLY place I can say with 100% confidence in recommending. The Villa's staff have all of the, and the best of the credentials and the owners couldn't be nicer, more involved, and were easy and available to talk to throughout the entire experience. Even after your stay is completed. They ACTUALLY CARE. Every other place that I know or have worked with has some sort of monetary incentive, but the Villa is only recovery center in the COUNTY that genuinely wants to help people get sober and have amazing futures. From the moment you pick up the phone, you are part of the family...even when you graduate. I would say 95% of the programs in LA and maybe even the entire state of California are at least somewhat corrupt and only looking to make money. It's shocking what happens in this industry, especially when it's supposed to be saving lives. I can HONESTLY and PROUDLY say that the Villa is in the other 5% and I couldn't be more honored that I went there and I am so happy, relieved, and reassured that I have a place I can recommend to my loved ones. I am excited for the future of this disease because the Villa exists and that I can recommend it in full confidence. They save lives and are family for life. Please feel free to leave me a message and I would be happy to call and answer any questions. Thank you, with everything that I have. The Villa, you are my family for life. Love, Kate
