She saw when we would visit our LO that we were struggling. He has Advanced Dementia, and she took the time to explain to us, what we would be going through. She explained to us that her own Father went through the same thing, so she knew what we were going through. Leila also answerd our questions we had, which we had many, she made us feel not guilty for leaving our LO there, she made us see that it was the best thing for him, since he would be looked after 24 seven, which is the care he needs. Leila your the best and we truly, truly appreciate you your an Angel in disguise ! YOUR SIMPLY THE BEST !!!

The facility itself is nestled in the general neighborhood. Parking is simple as they have a large lot in the back. Upon entry, the area it bright and clean. Each room is alway clean and the building is properly staffed. In fact the staffing to resident ratio seem great. There is always someone to ask for help when necessary. Meals are complete and has a good variety. Caretaking of the patients is on schedule and the staff are friendly. The level of engagement with the patient is also great. My dad's mental state is diminished, but the stuff still finds ways to interact with him. I often visit my dad and find that he is in a group activity that ranges from bingo, karaoke, and watching movies to name a few. I want to give a shout out to our case manager, Cynthia, who is always supportive and respond quickly to questions that we may have. Also to my dads physical therapist, Dominic, who always have a friendly demeanor, understanding tone, supportive nature, and most importantly patience to try and get my dad back to baseline. We also sincerely appreciate all the care and attentiveness to all the nurses that provides care to my dad around-the-clock. I know the staff is always watching because I get a phone call every my dad falls. I highly recommend St. Francis to anyone who needs to seek out a care facility.

I was inside the home plate with my mother-in-law and the experience was very bad. They have a very decadent care and especially the elderly suffer Ahy. My mother-in-law came out 2 times and they dropped 3 times and no one was responsible for what happened. The social worker Cinthia is the worst of an unscrupulous person. The only thing they want is to have patients to take their money from the government. My mother-in-law is a person who needed assistance to go to the bathroom and they left her with pampers all day until we arrived and changed her. In the place they have to socialize. They don't have cameras and I saw how the patients fell and they didn't even realize the hygiene is terrible. Please all the people who take their loved ones be very careful and don't leave them alone. Because they suffer a lot

They couldn't even tell me where my UT was, or if she was even admitted into their care. It took the hospice nurse to call me and say dante, we're here, and we're to go a week and a 1 later my UT falls out of the bed. I'm still trying to see how that was possible. Being that, she could not move. She had no strength. She was dying this past Wednesday. I get a call at 11:34 PM saying that she fell out the bed again. Mind you, she had fall prevention on her charts. There were no fall prevention measures. Taken? And if that was the case, how is it that she still managed to fall out the bed? So thursday morning, I get a call at 530 stating that she passed away. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around this. If I was dying, I would almost rather they roll out a Yoga Mat. In front of this care facility and just let me die in the street before being admitted, there, do not take your loved ones to this place. If you truly love them

26660 Patrick Ave Hayward, CA 94544…read more This place used to be called "Gateway Care & Rehab." I don't know when they changed ownership and renamed it. But I remember how it was before. Gateway was dirty, musty air, and had the smell of dirty bedding. Quite a surprise when I went inside Emmanuel Post Acute for the first time. It's painted, clean, and there's no foul odors. The nursing stations are well staffed. I went to visit a friend, but he was asleep. The nurse advised me not to wake him. So I don't have his opinion on the care or food there. However, one thing I can comment on is Covid-19 screening. Temp checks, sanitizer, and masks are available at the front lobby. But no visitor screening is done. Maybe half the staff are wearing masks.

This is the absolute worst pharmacy in the Bay Area. You'll sit on hold forever, they NEVER deliver…read morethe 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.

I was constantly sent from one person to another. They seemed very disorganized and I couldn't accomplish anything over the phone and when I was onsite, it still took forever to find someone that knew what was going on. As for care, she contracted pneumonia while there. They tried to discharge her with it, which her insurance objected to. They told me that she would be going home in 48hrs. Then she died. While the EMT's were trying to revive my mother, a nurse from the facility called and asked me what I wanted to do with her body. They didn't bother getting this info upfront and I was forced to send her to their default mortuary. When I called to ask to collect her belongings they told me they had to find them. They may have been thrown out. She was 72. Walked 8 miles every day. This is not a place to send loved ones.

They quickly hung up. I was left wondering why did it take them 8 hours to stop the bleeding? Then the ER Dr. told me Windsor said it was a surface cut but the Dr said that was not true, mom needed 20 stitches for multiple lacerations. The Dr told me she spoke with Windsor staff letting them know that when an elderly patient falls they must immediately go to ER. You'd think Windsor would already know this. This all made our family so uncomfortable, I asked that she was not released back to Windsor.

Not only did they take care of her physical needs, but also provided her technical help to use her cell phone / tablet so she could attend and listen to spiritual discourses, to nurture her soul too!! Some of the staff are fluent in some of the Indian languages, in particular Hindi, that made it easy for our mom to communicate. The entire staff (CNA, LVN, therapists, Social Services, Activities Room, Kitchen, Front Desk, Facility/Equipment/Grounds, etc.) is very caring, warm and considerate. Even during Covid, they did their best, in spite of shortage of staff, personal risks, and all other challenges and issues of dealing with a very dangerous and deadly pandemic. After the new owner and management took over this facility and renamed it, we continue to visit the facility periodically, to express our gratitude. We also continue to refer this facility to our friends for their loved ones. Some of the same staff still work there, remember our mom fondly and always welcome us. The facility is spacious, airy, bright, with all rooms having windows, and a nice garden outside, for walks, family gatherings, and occasional celebrations for the staff and residents. In summary, we are very happy and continue to recommend this facility to our friends for their family members, even after 4+ years because they have continued to maintain the same standard of care, per our occasional drop-in visits. When we drive by this facility, it warms our hearts! Though the rating we gave is 4 stars, it certainly exceeds that, and the facility continues to strive to get better. With heartfelt gratitude, Amlani family

On May 13, I saw a staff member, probably a little over 30 in age, who was bringing the lunch out into mixed sun and shade for a guy who hasn't seen enough sun in the past two months. The guy has a Slavic accent (I think) of some sort, and both of them agreed the guy is overdue for a haircut. The staff member was so very, very helpful! And during what seemed to be the break time for the staff member who was making phone calls, he stayed with our likely Slavic friend. It was a "five-star" recommendation for Windsor Gardens. I am sad that I didn't feel eligible to ask the staff member his name. There isn't always enough parking in the lot under the redwoods; so the most recommended parking is on B Street or along side streets. Actually, if you are health conscious, a good way to reach this facility would be to walk a little less than one mile from Hayward BART; or you could look up a connection via #95 AC Transit to 6th and D St. (actransit.org) which would get you even closer to their doors. The #28 bus also stops right close on B St. as it travels between Hayward BART and Castro Valley, Bay Fair, and San Leandro BART.
