My mom was moved from CHOMP to Carmel Hills for Hospist…read morehospice care for the three weeks she was in their CARE - the staff made her comfortable and felt with anything that came about. Mind you their was a family member with her 24/7 until she was called home. Does that make a difference - maybe but the staff was attentive to other patients just the same. Its not a happy place - people are at various stadges of health and some are dying. That's life - to complain that enough was not done? Well some folks are never happy and others are selfish with there time and expect more than what can be offered. Think before you complain - was there something I could have done at that time to change the outcome. As for theft - items of value should be left at home! And likely it still could have come up missing - if there was sentimental value. Its possibly been secured by a family member... Thank you to all

My mother entered the facility April 3rd of last year. She was also a hospice patient. The care…read morethat Carmel Hill has provided to my mom has been exceptional. They helped her live her last days with dignity and grace. They were responsive to her needs, although she was somewhat non-communicative. She was bathed daily and cleaned up on a regular schedule. The staff has been more that accommodating to our family's requests. They are truly an exceptional group to work with. My experience with my mother being a resident here has all been very positive. I find that if you have a loved one here it is very important that you are present that you visit often and get to know the staff. The CNA's took very good care of my mother and communicated well with our private caregivers. They were always attentive to all her needs and worked as a team with our private caregivers. The Nurses were exceptionally caring by making sure my mother took her meds with chocolate pudding. The activities staff were enthusiastic and caring; the kitchen staff were attentive to my mother's preferences in food. The entire staff is to be commended for the professional way they go about difficult job they have. Once again, I would say that if you do have a loved one in care anywhere you should visit them often. I think that really affects their care, when the staff knows that your loved one is not just being dropped off but instead they are still an active part of their family. My mother recently passed away April 13, 2022 she had dementia. For years, we care for her at home and as she progressed, we had to make that hard decision to place her here. We are so fortunate to have found this place for my mother, how all the staff took such great care of her. I want to thank the administration Carole Dorsey, RN Director of Nursing Services for accommodating our whole family to be able to see my mom on her last moments of life, and Thank you to all the staff for the kindness and wonderful care you showed for my mother. Although we are still grieving her passing, it is a comfort to know that she was at the right place being cared for by the right people. Thanks so much for taking great care of my mom.

I was declared vertigo free by this individual however, it cropped up quickly again after my treatment. Fortunately, Lynn became available and I went to her and because of her expertise, many years experience and her excellent training plus the use of camera goggles she got me over this last bout as she always has in the past. Key for me has been the therapist using the goggles with cameras so they can see exactly what the eye movements are and I believe that is key to successful treatment. Cannot say enough about her. She knows her stuff snd she's an excellent practitioner, compassionate, and understanding as well.

Being more like a home environment, Colby (Director) ensured patients' safety, cleanliness and managed the facility very well. After dad was released from Stanford ICU, he stayed at a vent facility-Aberwood Gardens in Saratoga across from Prospect High for a little over a year.

I WISH I got our two nurses names.. they were absolutely out of this world. They kept the mood light and silly for her while providing us with detailed information without scaring her.

The Nurse that assisted me (I apologize but I forgot his name) has tattoos on both arms was reassuring and focused on helping me. He was great.

There is absolutely zero genuine care, healing or recovering occurring here. I had very poor and abnormal therapy sessions with Dani. Find out days after I left, Dani was fired. Also, they only have one counselor for 30+ residents, and Peter, is lacking in many skills and experience that is necessary for counseling at a residential treatment center. While my stay at New Start (now Sierra Health), Mr. Peter Torres lacks many tangible and interpersonal skills and just overall counseling experience to be a suitable candidate in such positions especially being the lone counselor at a facility where individuals are at the worst, rock bottom of their lives and are seeking true and genuine healing and help while away from their families and careers. Not to mention, everything is falling apart here. All of their hands sanitizers and soap dispensers are empty, and I got extremely sick while staying here with severe influenza. When I asked nursing staff for medicine, they informed me they ran out and it took 3 days of suffering and in pain until they got some mucinex. At one point, there was not one client or staff members that did not get sick within the same month. RUN from here!

Other elements of whole person treatment include holistic practices, such as mindfulness relapse prevention, nutrition, yoga, and meditation.
