I love all the different activities they have going on. My complaints are extremely expensive to live there then the CEO wants to ask the residents to pay for the employees bonus and for candy, etc for Easter, Halloween events. I am sorry but for $5100 a month, you pull that money from your bonus instead of asking residents to cover it. The kitchen lady who is manager is absolutely rude and needs to smile. We paid an extra $841 a month for meds to be given to my Nana but most the time her meds would get lost or she would be given them late. Again, $5100 a month that shouldn't be happening. We had to move my Nana out last week because there was a rent increase and we no longer could afford her living there.

Well, we all know very senior people can be very grouchy and picky at times. Recently my dear sweet…read moreUncle called me in the morning and was very sad, and grouchy. I asked him if he had eaten breakfast. He was so upset. He said he asked for cream of wheat, his staple for a happy breakfast, and they told him they were out of it. He sounded so discouraged. He said he tried the oatmeal but didn't like it. And he said it was the only meal he really loved. Now that is of course not a calamity, but for him it was. So I hung up and thought about it. The last thing he said was, sorry to be a bother. I told him, of course, he was not a bother, ever. So I decided to give it a try. I called the front desk and spoke to a wonderful, helpful woman, who listened to my story about breakfast. She immediately asked for my number to have the woman in charge of breakfast to call me. I did not think the woman would call me back, however she did right away. She knew my Uncle and agreed he seemed so disappointed. She told me the truck was late and didn't get there in time to prepare the cream of wheat for breakfast. However, she let me know that my Uncle ate 2 eggs over easy and two slices of toast. That was new information. So I asked her if she had Cream of Wheat now. She said yes. So I asked her if she would make some for my Uncle and take it to him. She said, well are you sure he still wants it? I said yes. So she agreed. When I called my Uncle to tell him they are going to make him some now and bring it to him, he laughed. That was so great. I don't know where you get that kind of service anywhere. I do know that it was important to me and really nice for my Uncle to know we all care about his life and experience. I really love this Senior Solstice Living, and they really have to work hard to please all those Seniors. Today they made me really happy!

Don't let the entrance fool you, this place is disgusting! Trash all over the floors, down the…read morehallways and in the rooms. The stench of urine is overwhelming to say the least. The further inside you go the worse it gets. Three beds to a tiny room you can barley move. I went to put my parents clothes in the closet drawers and it was so dirty I don't think they have ever cleaned them out. I was questioned by two different staff members as to who would be doing my parents laundry. Surely not you as you can't even pick up trash from the floor let alone wash laundry. I pulled back the blinds and could see 5 or more beds outside with a big blue tarp in the general area, lord knows what was under it. Patient beds are old, the kind you have to crank to raise and lower the head and foot. When I called and asked for my parents room the person who works there asked if they were an employee or residence. Why would I call ask for an employees room? Please do not put your loved one in this hell hole!! Even if it means you spend a few extra days find a better place you will be thankful I assure you. If I have to cash in my 401k to get my loved one in a better facility I will gladly live my retirement years in box to have peace of mind now. Thank heavens my loved is only in this situation for a small period of time, no matter how short of time it WON'T be at this place!!

This place is A persons WORST NIGHTMARE. My Mother was supposed to spend some time here for…read morerehabilitation after breaking her hip. But no sooner than she arrived there , we were working on getting her out of there. As my Sister and I walked in she almost slipped and fell in a puddle of water from a Leakey roof. On top of that , it reeked of urine and mold throughout the halls. In her room where they have 3 beds squeezed in, the beds are at least 10 years old or more. The curtains were a dingy yellow color with a musty scent to them. We proceed to tell the person working there my Mother hasn't had dinner. They than bring her a cold sandwich which looks like something they feed prisoners. We also tell her that she has to use the bathroom and the person working there tells My Mother in a voice as which you would speak to a child " You pee-pee you diaper and we clean you ". Needless to say we brought My Mother home. So if you have someone who you love and care about, PLEASE DO NOT PUT THEM HERE.!

I visited the ER for a lupus tlare-up and left feeling disappointed with the care I received…read more The biggest issue was communication. Throughout my stay, I felt that staff were not keeping me informed about what was happening, what the treatment plan was, or what the next steps would be. It seemed like there was limited communication among staft members, and I often had to ask questions to get basic information about my care. I also felt that some staff members lacked empathy and confidence when discussing my condition. Because lupus can be a complex illness, I expected more understanding of my symptoms and concerns. Instead, I felt dismissed and uncertain about whether my condition was being fully evaluated. After spending approximately nine hours in the ER, I was discharged with the same pain and issues that brought me in. I left without feeling that my concerns had been adequately addressed or that I had a clear plan for managing my flare-up. I hope this feedback encourages improvements in communication, patient education, and compassion for patients dealing with chronic autoimmune conditions.

(My personal opinion...NEVER go to them)But the reason I still use them is because they have some of the best physicians I've met during my 30 year industrial career. Round 1 The Lab gets 2 stars this location on Stockdale for my appointment I waited in the line marked appointments for 10 minutes with no one even coming out to see if there were customers waiting. 14 minutes in all and 6 customers outside a young man walks out and asks if there are any appointments I raised my hand and he checked me in. fine .. I look on the lab board and I am dead last.. ok I wait about 5 minutes and 3 people go into the lab. I walk back to the counter to ask why I have a 50-55 MJ ute wait when I have an appointment. He said " you have an appointment? I said yes when you asked I raised my hands and you checked me in . The young man checked me in and I shot to the top of the list . 1-2 minutes wait time. Round 2 I get called back and I asked for a butterfly needle because I have issues with the normal size and phlebotomists missing my veins.. Since I figured this out 6 years ago I have never had a problem.... Until now I get a girl/woman who puts in the butterfly and misses my vein.. spills out and reinserts to fine the vein. Blood drawn I get gauze and tape cool.. next day .. pictures below.. Round 3 my 9 yr old daughter goes with my wife and gets blood drawn with a butterfly needle , says the girl missed and had to wiggle it around . My wife was upset and took down her name says she told it to my kids PCD. Guess what ? same phlebotomist. So this is my issue and I've never done this before but the Stockdale location is fine except this one phlebotomist. I wont say her name but it rhymes with Bristal. Kaiser please send this person back to phlebotomy school I have never bruised in the last 6 years and my child bruised once a a child. This is expected but not with such frequency.. I'm sure she misses much more than she hits This is totally unacceptable. I've had blood drawn every 3 months for the last 12 years at the VA and let me tell you they are bad but they don't deal with children so it's different. Head are the pics of my arm I'll do an update my kid is ashamed to go to school with a noticeable bruise on her arm and wears a compression sleeve to hide it.. Luckily she's a bit athletic so her friend think it's cool. Long story but I believe necessary.
