My husband's serious health conditions have taken us to several facilities over the years. This one…read moreis better than most. Pros: They are well-staffed with genuinely good people. Excellent PT, mostly attentive nurses, and CNAs. Special acknowledgement to Maria, both Mohammeds, Elizabeth, and Andrea, to name a few, although there were many. The location and parking are good, very good PT, good food, an overall positive, friendly environment. One notable trait, no matter who I asked for anything, coffee cup, a towel, etc. they stopped what they were doing and took me to it. Trust me, unusual! Cons: The night crew leaves a lot of room for improvement. If you're close to your loved one, you'll want to stay with them at night. Or very nearby. The bed alarms are constant and are rarely responded to quickly. It was torture for my disabled husband. I will say they were accommodating about needing different roommates. It was just a hassle and many tormented nights because of it. This would be our first choice if we require it again.

Everyone from admissions, case management, PT, OT, CNA, medicine nurses, nurses supervisors. I would recommend anyone who has a loved one needing a care Nursing Facility to Brentwood Healthcare.

Nurses are non responsive, except for a couple. No employees anywhere. Call lights go unanswered, if you are lucky enough to have one. Beds inoperable. TVs don't work. Paper towel holders fall and are not rehung - just on the floor. Often out of toliet tissue. The rooms have peeling paint. You can't get a call back from anybody. Patient clothes go missing and are never found or replaced. Constant staff turnover and many of those who stay are very unpleasant. I have signs up regarding my family member's care that no one adheres to. There are only one or two people there I trust and that is not sustainable for care of a family member. I'm so disappointed in how this facility is managed. The quality of care and professionalism has declined. I would not recommend this Rehab Center!

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!

The Villa has the best staff, facilitators and even alumnis that I still keep in touch with today. They are now part of my family and I feel so lucky ! I will be forever grateful for them. Today I have six months sober and I can honestly say I have a totally different perspective on life than I had going in. This program has given me hope and helped me find a purpose in life.

Late night healthy snack for those who fall asleep late.

I attended MBRC in 2014 and after years and years of trying to get sober rehab after rehab I landed…read morehere all the way from New Jersey in what i thought was some hippie place that I was completely against. Having said that I said let's give this a shot as it was very different from the cold concrete walls of even your nicest rehabs. At this point nothing else had worked so what did I have to loose? Through my time at MBRC I learned a lot and that life had so much more to it and maybe it was the what I thought was a crazy diet or the constant yoga which I tended to make excuses about doing or just the fresh ocean air. This was the first time I was in an intimate rehab setting there was maybe 6 or 8 of us which was quite refreshing because you were truly in this together. From Joan, to chef Johnny, heather, Tony and many more who I am forgetting almost 12 years later I was sent out into this new world with a new outlook. This new world though was something different than I had ever done, i agreed to stay in California temporarily and live in MBRC sober living in Brentwood and attend outpatient for as long as I could. I had always been against sober livings because in my experience it was like living in a crackhouse but not here. From the simplest thing of house manager Janine who worked multiple jobs aside from that trust me to take care of her dog Mia. I was able to heal and learn how to live and be a responsible adult, idk but I truly believe that connection me and that little dog made in the next year taught me to be gentle and kind and loving. From the outpatient services provided by stacy and DR i don't remember his name but he was awesome to the lifelong friends I made living in that house for almost a year. I was able to slowly acclimate back into the real world. Here we are in 2026 almost 12 years later to the date and I'm still sober and still in Los Angeles. If anybody told me 12 years ago that would be my life I would tell you that's your NUTS! I was watching an IG story from Chef Johnny today who has become one of the most sought after celebrity chefs in La and it made me think of MBRC. I thought I knew it closed but I started googling and saw this yelp page with limited reviews some good some bad but more importantly it said closed. Since that is the case maybe this review is more for me and to share my gratitude for the day. As the years goes on and life becomes life sometimes I forget to do that so maybe this is the grounding moment I needed today. Thank you Joan and Oleg for opening your HOME to us and giving us a chance. Many along this road are no longer with us but you are never forgotten and weather we still talk or your no longer in this world thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

The intake was handled by a very well meaning information, but despite comments that they could accommodate people with a wide range of concerns, it has become clear with our conversations with them that income and liability are their only concerns. Delay after delay was given to us as a need to "consult with the team" with no details about what might be the concerns or what we could do to assuage those concerns. I would highly recommend talking to a trained therapist or mental health professional before considering this facility as a legitimate way to get help. Based on our experience this feels like a place that will only take on clients that are high net worth and zero risk.

After doing extension research, I sent my out-of-state daughter here for inpatient 30 days…read more Ultra caring staff and I mean ultra. She and I cannot express enough accolades towards the staff. Would I recommend her going back someday or to another friend... definitely not. The medical detox (and there after) protocol is their standard protocol that I was not familiar with, at the time. My daughter experienced a horrific nightmare that set us at UCLA for days. This was the most horrific experience of my life. UCLA doctors urged us not to go to back ORO.. however, she was already emotionally acclimated so I did send her back after our hospital bonanza. I would urge anyone admitting themselves/loved ones to do extensive research on what the "medical cocktail" is that is pressured upon the patients. I'd also choose another place that mandates participation/attendance. Otherwise, what is the point. A paid for insurance AirBNB? I was so excited for her to even go, that I missed a lot of critical details. This isn't vacation. Any rehab is what you put into it. But paramount, don't overmedicate and research what exactly is being prescribed. The max hours of 1-1 therapy is what I'd look for (Passages).

First NONE of the photos on here are of Oceanside Malibu except for the last one; the dark dingy…read morelooking one. How this place is still in business is beyond me. This place is nothing more than a trap house staffed by individuals that look like they're still in their active meth addiction. Either that or they don't offer their staff dental health benefits because half of them are missing teeth, and look like they just arrived from the nearest homeless shelter. It's dingy, the common areas are carpeted, it's dark, and filthy. Their idea of a 'luxury' private room with king size bed was adjoining two queen size beds together. And they couldn't even do that properly as there was nothing keeping them attached. Therefore you can fall right down the middle. Pathetic. One staff member not only used expletives like a pirate but also managed to call me a Masshole (cause I'm from Massachusetts), only to then give me tips on how to tell good meth from bad meth! Having driven 6 hours to this dump I thought it best to spend the night since it was already dark outside. But first thing in the morning bright and early I was out of there. Though they didn't make it easy. They begged me to please stay even offering to walk my dogs (I brought with me) on my behalf and even take them to the dog park multiple times a day. There I was thinking to myself, 'I don't trust you with MY well-being much less my dogs well-being'! And so I left and hightailed it back to my home. I didn't think a place like this could exist in Malibu, but what this taught me is that even in Malibu one has to do their due diligence in researching a facility. I have since then heard from other individuals that this is a 'body broker' type of place. If you don't know what a 'body broker' is, Google it. Essentially it's when they pay (in one form or another) for someone to get high/use so they can bring them in and charge their health insurance. Alternatively it can also manifest as specifically seeking those in active addiction (regardless of their wanting to get sober or not) and paying/convincing them (one way or another) to come in; and as you may have already guessed: charge their health insurance. It is because of places like Oceanside Malibu that the recovery industry needs to be much more stringently regulated. A place like this dump should not be legally allowed to exist.
