The staff have been kind, caring, and respectful, and they have made me feel comfortable and supported during my stay. If I need to go back this is where I will go" My personal experience- would especially like to thank Ross, the Admission Coordinator. She was very helpful, patient, and professional. She made the admission process much easier for me and took the time to answer my questions and make sure it was correct and easy both sides. All the other admissions coordinators are very welcoming at that facility. Thank you to Ross and the entire staff for your compassion and dedication. I truly appreciate everything you have done for our patients. I would definitely recommend Walnut Creek Nursing & Rehab Center to others.

I have emailed and spoken directly with Sara, Leslie, and another administrator, and absolutely nothing was resolved. This public reply from Lily is purely to save face for the business.

I spent 3 weeks (21 days) Shadelands Post Acute post hip surgery. I was impressed with the staff's…read moreteamwork. I never heard negative comments from/between staff. The nursing team communicated daily with their counterparts (i.e., patient needs/preferences) when shifts were ending/starting. My CNA's were also wonderful. Employees always had a smile on their face, no matter what their areas of responsibility were, a testament to the positive work environment. Cleanliness was a top priority. Every team member took his/her job seriously and with pride. The positive team dynamics I experienced are a direct reflection of the leadership skills of Judith Gasmin, Director of Nursing. Both she & Herna Mellizo, Assistant Director of Nursing, appeared in my doorway daily to check in and be sure everything was going smoothly for me. I appreciated the diversity of the therapy (PT & OT) teams as well. They tried to accommodate me into their a.m. schedule whenever possible. Shadelands has continued to follow up with me. I received a phone call the day after I was discharged with customer satisfaction questions. They said they'd follow up with me again. Stellar customer service!

I want to express my gratitude for the excellent care at Pleasant Hill Post-Acute Care. I was…read moreadmitted with a fractured pelvis and could not walk. Thanks to the entire staff's exceptional care, I am walking again! The PT and OT folks (Nikki, Deandre and Akashi) patiently gave me the support and confidence to not only walk, but to climb stairs! I have never had PT before and was amazed how their simple instructions and encouragement helped heal my body so that I could return home. There are too many other names to mention here, but the following are a few. I'd like to give a shout out to the nursing staff, particularly Dahlia. The nurses were so kind and patient, helping me with every need, including cleansing. I hope that I was kind and respectful, but I noticed that some patients could be quite difficult. The nurses and CNAs consistently maintained a calm, caring and professional demeanor. They catered to every need and clearly cared about the patients' well-being. Claire, the Activities Director delivered daily menus and a list of scheduled activities. What a sweet individual, dropping by each morning with a smile and a little conversation. Nicole of the Housekeeping Staff was lovely. I engaged her in conversation at every opportunity, as she made sure that each room was clean and in proper order for each patient. My case worker, Mary, was instrumental in working with doctors and staff to secure my release date. She also recommended an appt. with my PCP and referred me to out-patient PT care. Another shout out is to the kitchen staff. The meals were healthy and delicious and tailored to each patient's needs. Mistakes were sometimes made and were quickly rectified. One small concern is that breakfasts always arrived cold. Having worked in catering, I know it is difficult to serve a hot meal to 50 people at once, but it can be done. Icing on the cake: Greta, an optometrist visited some of the patients for eye exams and glaucoma tests. I did not expect this extra service and appreciate it so much! In additional, the facility has followed up with me to check on my healing progress. I hope none of you require such intense care, but if you do, I highly recommend PH Post-Acute Care to administer to both physical and emotional needs.

This facility is extremely disorganized, and I am deeply concerned about the level of care my…read moremother was receiving. She was admitted for rehabilitation following a stroke and has specific medical instructions that are not being properly followed. She is supposed to have thickened liquids without the use of straws to prevent aspiration; however, even after having a meeting with their section managers about my mom's needs, the staff were still giving her straws. Additionally, she requires assistance with eating, yet staff routinely drop off her meal tray and leave without ensuring she is able to eat or drink. When I visited, I can see her tray of food is untouched on the table that is not even in reach of my mom. She is not supposed to get up without assistance. There appears to be little to no concern for whether she is receiving adequate nutrition or hydration. During day 3 of my mom's stay (same day as issue above), I found my mother shivering uncontrollably and unable to speak. After I alerted staff, they checked her temperature and found it to be 104°F. She was given Tylenol and an IV - the nurse did what she could. A couple of hours later, I requested that her temperature be checked again. The assistant used a no-touch thermometer but quickly moved it around her face and neck, then stated her temperature was 97°F. This seemed highly unlikely given how recently she had a high fever. After the assistant left, I checked my mother myself and found that she still felt extremely hot. I asked the assistant to return and recheck her temperature. It appeared he was not allowing the thermometer enough time to register properly, as he was moving it too quickly. When I asked him to hold it in one place where she felt hottest, he then reported a temperature of 100°F (I did not see the exact number, but the device indicated a red light - a fever). Overall, the staff demonstrate a lack of proper training, coordination, and communication. There are cork boards in patient rooms that could be used to clearly display care instructions, yet they are not being utilized (photo attached). This would be a simple but effective way to ensure consistency in patient care. Her inability to eat and drink independently, along with her shivering and high fever, went unnoticed by staff until we brought it to their attention. At the end of this experience, we requested that staff call an ambulance to transport my mother to the hospital, as we no longer felt she was safe in this facility. I will not be bringing her back. At the hospital, it was discovered that her urine was amber in color and she was diagnosed with a UTI. As for the facility itself, the environment is outdated and poorly maintained. The air circulation is inadequate, and the overall atmosphere feels depressing. Improvements in both the physical environment and staff performance are urgently needed.

Grateful Beyond Words.. Spending 3 months at Windsor…read moreRehabilitation Center truly changed my life. When I arrived, I was scared, broken, and unsure of what my future looked like. What I found instead was compassion, patience, and people who cared about my healing. The staff didn't just do their job, they showed up with their hearts. They listened when I needed to talk, supported me when I felt weak, and believed in me even when I struggled to believe in myself. Every counselor, physical therapist, nurse and staff member treated me with dignity and kindness, reminding me that I was worthy of care, hope, and a second chance. This place became a safe space where I was able to heal grow, and rediscover my strength. I learned tools that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I left with a renewed sense of purpose and self-worth. The structure, guidance, and encouragement I received help and re-build not just my recovery, but my confidence and spirit. I will always be grateful for the love, support ,and dedication I experience here. This Rehabilitation center didn't just help me recover it helped me find myself again. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who is struggling and searching for hope, There is real healing here. Every place however has it's cons and for me it was Mr.Curry his follow through was horrible. He could not get shit right. My other issue was with one of the dialysis tech Josh who was extremely rude at times.

I was sent to Legacy for nursing and physical therapy services, following Spinal Surgery. This…read morefacility was clean. The frontline staff was professional, kind, and engaging. However, I experienced a lack of preparation, an absence of communication, and a failure to reorder necessary medications --on multiple occasions. These negative aspects of my time at the Legacy stemmed from the Administration's systemic failure. Administration provided no orientation or introduction to the facility. Thus, I had no knowledge of visiting hours, food menus, or any patient rules. I did not even know there was an onsite Social Worker until the last week of my 5 week stay. I had to track her down to find out if administration had a discharge plan for me. I was initially provided a wheel chair with no foot rests and a bed with no arm rests. This was at a time when I was non ambulatory. Eventually, these medical items were provided. Still., when the facility ran out of my two heart medications (needed 2x a day) I wasn't told til the time I was to receive them that they ran out and had not yet reordered. It took 24 hours to get these medicines. All in all, my review of the Legacy is mixed.. I think if the Administrators strengthened themselves into a team that promoted clarity and transparency to their patients/clients this would be a very good facility. Patricia McGuire Lopas
