Tammie was truly amazing, patiently explaining all of the bureaucratic monstrosity that is the American health care system, from HMOs to Medicare. She was highly knowledgeable, resourceful, and extremely personable. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her; she walked me through all the steps I needed to get the home care set up and was compassionate about the many obstacles I faced due to my father's terrible HMO. She helped me with getting my dad into his primary care and assisted me with all the steps needed to get his home health referral. The rest of the staff at Choice Matters is also excellent; my dad loved his physical therapist, Allen, who helped him get back on his feet, literally. My dad is a misanthropic curmudgeon who doesn't like most people, but he looked forward to his visits with Allen and was able to walk again with his support. The name of the agency really reflects that "Choice Matters" when you choose a caregiver. I highly recommend!

This is the place to be when it's time to do nothing but kick up your heels and enjoy the rest of your days. They bring you fresh towels (I think daily, if you want) and change your sheets (weekly). They'll bring you room service from the dining room, but you'd be missing out. The dining room is THE place to be. Everyone who is anyone shows up for cocktail hour. And the cocktails! These aren't your mama's cocktails. I've walked away from dinner tipsy, which kinda threw me off (literally). It is one of the premier places in the area, so they do have quite an application process, from what I've heard. But with a waiting list that can be years long, it has to be the place everyone wants to go.

I was told all the…read morethings I wanted to hear....now...I would advise anyone considering this place...Ortega Gardens...to get everything in writing...and make sure it's not in invisible ink! For example...Doctors on staff or at least on call? Oh, yes I was told. Not true. A Nurse practitioner was it...and if my "person"had a problem it turned out to be days before the issue was addressed and medication was disbursed. And speaking of medication...my person was given so many drugs his eyes were going in different directions and he didn't even know what planet he was on. If he moved any slower he would have been going in reverse. Trying to keep a watch on the drugs was becoming a full time job. Meanwhile seeing my person like that was heart breaking. Other issues...the food was supposedly made on the premises...but I was never shown the kitchen...and I did ask...more than once! When I questioned what was served for dinner the answer was usually mystery meat...and no salads or fresh fruit...and small portions....no seconds...but nobody cared. I was told if my person needed to go to a medical appointment transportation was promised through the facility...but the one time I requested this I was given the run around. It turned out not to matter as my person was sent to the ER for the 2nd time in five months. I took the hint and placed him in another facility where he was cared for, the food was prepared on the premises and was good and plentiful...and best of all...his mind started working again...his eyes cleared up...he knew where he was and we could have a conversation! Be careful when entrusting the care of your loved ones to any facility....visit often and keep your eyes wide open....and don't believe everything you are told.
