This place is not good. My 92 year old father was taken there after breaking his hip. He arrived on…read morea Tuesday. He was over medicated, deprived of water and has very little care period. He was blind and had dementia. Although the nursing staff seemed very nice there was no care. When myself or another family member was there he would drink 6-8 glasses of water at a time he was so thirsty. He died there on the Saturday. He had an advance directive with a DNR on file and those wishes were not followed. After he passed we waited hours for the mortuary to come, we were outside and not one person ever checked on myself and my family members. Do not let your family member go there.

This facility is understaffed and the recovery patients are neglected. My aunt was transferred…read morethere from the hospital and was not given much needed help. She stood in the bathroom waiting for help to pull up her pants but nobody came so she struggled to dress herself in agonizing pain. She received no shower and just sat in the bed with little interaction from staff. The facility is old, worn down, no paintings or decor, just joyless and depressing with a broken tv in the room. Do not recommend this place for your loved ones to recover.

My mom came to Vista view after a surgical procedure on her foot. She has been to this facility…read moremultiple times. We chose it for this reason, as we know many of the nursing team and she feels comfortable knowing there will be familiar faces. It is also easily accessible for me to go daily to check in and make sure things are going as they should. I want to be clear that while I am giving a poor rating to this place it is primarily due to the administrative staff and "care team"- I was never contacted by the care manager or social worker to talk about my mom's care, EXCEPT for after I reached out multiple times. And even then one person didn't know what another was doing/telling the family member. If I wasn't so frustrated and angry I would have been embarrassed for them. The nurses, CNAs and therapists are all fantastic- caring, patient and doing the best they can considering their limitations. It seems horribly understaffed and the communication is virtually nonexistent. Again- NOT the people actually caring for your loved one. They are great. But any coordinating you need to do or information gathering or support you need... good luck! In the end, it was literally laughable how many balls were dropped. If you find yourself or a loved one in this facility plan to have an advocate who can be actively involved in coordinating. I'm hoping desperately that my mom won't need another stay in skilled nursing. I'm not naive enough to think the grass would be greener in another facility, but I would be very hesitant in sending her back to Vista View. Having said all of this- MANY thanks to Ruth, Brenda, Anna, Norchell and Sam. Your care for my mom has not gone unnoticed amid the sh*#show going on in the rest of this place. (There were other fantastic nurses but I can't remember their names.)

Worst experience! I…read morehad an emergency surgery & was too weak to go home from the hospital 1) I was told Dr. Novac was my doctor while at the facility. Dr. Novac visited me once after I was admitted & barked questions at me. A couple of days later, there was confusion on my new prescriptions & I was concerned about my abdominal surgical site. I requested to talk to him again he refused to meet with me in the 11 days I was there. Husband called facility asking to speak to him & was told it wasn't permitted. (Red Flag) 2) Not once but twice, I had to correct 2 different CNA's? Nurses? about my meds being changed. In fact, I was already given meds that I wasn't supposed to take & I brought it up but was told I was mistaken. The young man who dispensed the meds, double checked & later apologized. The 2nd time it was a nurse, she argued with me, went out & grabbed the blister pack of pills to prove she was right & I had to point the name of meds on package & show her she was calling the meds by the wrong name! That was where the confusion was, both meds started with the same 2 letters. Scary! These are supposed to be professionals. 3) In 11 days, I was moved THREE times to 3 different rooms! I'm supposed to be resting to get stronger to go home. In all fairness, I initially requested to be moved to a quieter spot. The door to the rooms are generally left open & I had a light shining in my eyes all night long plus was in a very noisy busy area & they did move me in a day or 2. I was so grateful. This room was more quiet But every time the bathroom door was opened the stench of MOLD was super strong. I noticed there was a hole in the drywall under the sink & towels wrapped around pipes under the sink. One day, I had to let a cna know there was water on the bathroom floor which was mopped. Safety Issue! A few days later!! I was moved yet again. 3) In each room there are 3 beds. 1 bathroom. WARNING! It is not unusual for your roommate to be a sundowner. Be prepared for screaming and disruptive behavior all night. Nurses also come in the room at all hours to change their diaper and of course the lights go on & disrupt any sleep you might get. They are not quiet, either. I can't begin to tell you how anxious & stressed I became. Even with earplugs lights being shined all hours was so disruptive to sleeping. 4) Physical therapist & occupational therapists were very nice. However, I was super weak, had to use a walker, just had abdominal surgery & after a couple of sessions, I was so sore that I had to take tylenol and place ice on my abdomen for a few hours for 2 days. Knowing this, they continued to nudge me to do the exercises until I mentioned it to the head of the department in passing, then the exercises did become lighter. I was told by both therapists at different times I should have told them I was in pain during the session. But I tried to to tell them the discomfort did not happen during the sessions. Knowing how weak I was plus just having abdominal surgery possibly from the beginning warranted a gentler approach. 5) I had noticed that some "problem patients" would use the call button repeatedly for the nurses with stupid questions, etc. They were eventually ignored. But there is something so disturbing about hearing someone yell "NURSE" sometimes for hours. I was so stressed out. I was determined to be a good patient while here. It was clear to me that this facility was extremely understaffed. But ONE day I really needed to speak to a nurse. ONE DAY out of 11 days I pushed the nurse button only to be told the nurse would be right in. An hour later, I pushed the button & was told the nurse just had her break but would be right in. An hour later I tried again and was told yet another excuse. Nurse never came, I gave up and the next morning she came in to see what i wanted the night before without much interest. Very disappointing & frustrating. 6) Not always, but for the most part the food was less than cafeteria food. Some meals were ok. You fill out a meal form when you get there. I tried cold cereal for breakfast & it upset my stomach. I told 2 different people and also filled out another form but continued to get the food I couldn't eat. Sometimes, my roommate got my food by mistake and I got theirs. That's my experience. I hope it helps someone. In my case I was discharged from the hospital unexpectedly & my husband was contacted by a social worker or insurance agent (?) & was told I was going to La Paloma. This all happened within a couple of hours. Knowing what we know now, check with your insurance & see which facilities are covered. And if possible check the reviews. This was our first experience with a nursing facility and I'm not sure if they are all this bad, but it was a horrible experience.

I…read morehad no idea what to expect, but was greeted by the staff with a friendly and welcoming attitude, even though it was almost 12 o'clock at night, when I arrived. I found the house to be beautiful and spacious. AST director Michael M was gracious enough to give me a quick rundown of all the rules, and a urinalysis, as this is a zero tolerance drug-free facility. As I settled in and got to know the other members of the household, I realized what a great find. Very friendly residents who are very outgoing to show you the ropes. There is also all you can eat food 24 hours a day as long as you clean up after yourself one group meal is served per weeknight with a house meeting on Sunday I found the whole experience of the way the house was brand to be very professional and organized And were quick to handle situations among the other residence. Another great aspect of the facility is that they will be responsible for handing meds out to the residence as needed. Believe me, I did my research when looking for a facility to move to. I had heard all the horror stories of people stuffing four individuals into a room made for one! I assure you this is not the case and every bed is a least a queen size . The house is clean and immaculate at all times as all the house guests help out. Truly an awesome place to start if you want to stay sober ! I would give this facility five stars and another five just for the staff! They really make the place what it is. Respectfully, Michael

It pretty funny reading some of the reviews from former clients. The owner required them to write…read more5 star reviews so they could be back allowed in the house. I stayed at Casa Paz for 6 months and boy It was a experience. I chose this house because they provide transportation to and from work and because of the beautiful house. They also have a food program that's included in rent. They do a great job stalking the house with food and getting anything special that you request. I shared the master bedroom with two other awesome girls. I totally appreciated having a queen size bed too! I swear every other sober living has as many twin size beds as possible crammed into a room. Our room did have ants tho... and no we didn't have food in our room. They provided us with ant traps but the traps would just leek sticky gel everywhere and the ants would be back in a week. One of the main reasons I gave them such a low rating is because it felt like staff went out of there way to sure you didn't feel at home... I tried to hang up one of my paintings and got yelled at, accidentally leaving a notebook downstairs and it gets thrown away, and management seems to threaten to kick you out over any thing. You would think paying 1700 a month would offer a more home vibe. I personally didn't clash well with management. A couple of staff had a toxic masculine /aggressive way of handling things. Lots of anger, yelling and heated confrontation. Even staff verbally/ physically abusing clients. I've always been the type of person who wants to know the reason behind things so I could have better understanding. They say they deal with everyone on a "case by case scenario ". But it's really just a huge playing favorites game! It's clear as day to house that they were certain people(clients) who were treated better; such as, not having to do there chores or/and always have the easier ones, getting extra rides, rides to and from airports, outcome after relapse and etc. When a client relapses they either get kicked out , have to pay for hotel for 3 days, temporary moved to the other Casasober house, or no punishment at all. I have even witness managers covering for the clients after a re-lapse and pushing it under the rug. It seems the main factors are monetary gain and personal favorites when dealing with this type of situation. My personal option is they shouldn't run a co-ed sober living. A few of the house managers evecross professional boundaries and take advantage of female clients in the position are in . It's fuck up place and I would avoid. At the end of a day I forget this place is a business in the main goals to make money, The owner has no problem rolling up in her Escalade and flashing her money while clients pay almost 2g a month to share a room with 2 other people. . But yeah avoid like the plague. Recovery is amazing but places like this just take advantage of people in a rough spot.

The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and offers a warm, welcoming environment. Communication is another standout strength which provides great peace of mind for both families and care partners. In my role, I've also had the opportunity to collaborate closely with their team during residents' transitions back home with caregiving support. Their coordination during these transitions is outstanding, ensuring that residents and their families feel fully prepared and supported every step of the way. All of the families we've assisted following discharge from Glenbrook Health Center consistently share positive feedback about their experience, which further reflects the quality of care provided. What truly sets Glenbrook apart is their personalized approach to care.

I wouldn't recommend this facility for a patient that requires significant help or has mild cognitive impairment. Post stroke she was wheel chair bound and required assistance for everything. In summary: Dr. B was excellent. Thoughtful, problem solving mindset and treated patient and family with respect, and some humor when appropriate. Rehab Team: Competent and caring. Speech. OT AND PT good therapists. Management: Poor. All patients receive 2 consecutive days with no therapy. That is 2 days isolated in your hospital room with no activities. This is truly detrimental to the healing process. In my experience this exasperated anxiety and feelings of isolation, reversing progress made during the week, disturbing sleep cycles and recovery. It's very important if you are considering this location for a loved one that you reflect on this. Your loved one will be sitting in a hospital bed for two consecutive days with no interaction except a nurse popping in to check on them briefly. Of course family can visit and we did, however it is not a substitute for professional engagement. This workaround that administrators have finagled to ensure patients hit the certain hours required while limiting weekend staffing is absolutely horrible and very transparent in their motives. Nursing Staff: Very inconsistent and overall not good. Didn't appear in alignment with goals of therapy. I didn't feel safe most of the time with the quality of care my mom was receiving. Not all the time, there were a few standouts that were excellent, but overall very lacking. I share this info. so if you're considering this facility you know what to expect. And with hopes that administrators will make changes for future patients. When searching for a rehab facility I admit I was influenced by the the gold star ratings from outside organizations, but after my loved one's experience, I realize this is more a reflection of savvy administrators working to get accolades from governing bodies vs. true gold star care.
