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.

The dietitian and kitchen staff work tother to thoughtfully adjust the meal plan to meet my dad's special needs. Physical therapists are excellent. They approach each session with patience, encouragement, and deep expertise, helping my father regain strength step by step. Most importantly, the entire staff -- from management to clinical teams -- is caring and easy to communicate with. We are truly grateful for the compassion and teamwork here. As Thanksgiving approaches, I want to thank the St. Francis team and wish you all a joyful and restful holiday!

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.

My mother, 72,was transferred here for rehab after a routine surgery. I never received a call when…read moreshe was taken in. When I finally reached her case worker I was told to call her social security worker, Carol. Carol told me to meet with her physical therapy team and nurses to understand her care and discharge plan. After the PT team did not show for the appointment, I rescheduled. They met and said that Carol was managing the discharge plan. The. I was told to speak with a nurse. 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.

The admissions team has been very helpful and has guided me from the very beginning. I honestly would have been lost without their guidance and support. Whether over the phone or in person, everyone has been welcoming, compassionate, and always willing to listen to my concerns. What I appreciate most is the communication and teamwork among the staff. I recently had a care plan meeting with the whole care team, with Nanay included in the discussion. It gave me so much reassurance knowing that everyone is working together toward the same goal...her recovery, safety, and overall well being. The staff have been patient with her, encouraging her during rehab, and attentive to her daily needs. As a daughter, it means so much to know that when I am not there, she is surrounded by people who are willing to help, and care for her. I also appreciate how approachable and helpful the staff and management have been. They go above and beyond to answer my questions, guide me through her care, and keep me informed. Caring for an elderly parent can be overwhelming, and having a care team you can trust makes such a big difference. Thank you to everyone at Belmont Healthcare Center for everything you do, not only for my Nanay but for all the residents and their families. We truly appreciate you all. Happy Anniversary! Wishing you continued success and many more years of doing such a wonderful job!

They consistently went above and beyond to ensure my dad's comfort and to keep us informed, which gave our family tremendous peace of mind. The CNAs -- Rohit, Manpreet, Uma, Gerliza, and Kamalpreet -- cared for my dad as if he were their own family. They handled everything from feeding, bathing, massage, and cleaning with patience and respect. They also made my mom feel incredibly welcome and supported. When it was time for us to bring my dad home, they took the time to teach my mom how to care for him confidently and safely. Their kindness made a difficult transition so much easier. One of the chefs in the kitchen also went above and beyond by teaching my mom how to prepare puréed food for my dad when he could no longer eat solid meals. That level of thoughtfulness meant so much to us. The case managers were organized, responsive, and always willing to help us navigate the many details involved in my dad's care. And I want to give special recognition to Eric, the Manager at Niles Canyon Post Acute Rehab. Eric was consistently supportive, approachable, and deeply committed to ensuring my dad received the best care possible.

The PT workers, notably Sanjeeta and notably Reggie (Reginald), have strong talents (and leadership skills) to help your loved one spend no more time in bed than is helpful for your loved one. There is a cheat sheet of exercises for your legs, hips, and arms which will get you strong. There is a gym, with the key equipment which can also help. If you do visit the facility, please take care not to get in the way of the hardworking yet cheerful staff as they do their important work. An appointment is not necessary. A greeter checked that I am fully vaccinated (I am actually double boosted.) and confirmed that I didn't have a fever. I saw two guys doing us all the favor that they took their iHealth test while they waited to go in to meet their grandmother. 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.
