My mom, Doris has been at South Marin Health and Wellness in Greenbrae for nearly 5 years, and I'm…read moreincredibly grateful for the care she's received. During COVID, she became very ill and was placed on hospice. After caring for her at home for 9 months, we were advised to find a long-term care facility. I briefly placed her at another facility in San Rafael, but knew within hours it wasn't the right fit. Finding South Marin was a turning point. My mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer, kidney failure, and dementia. The care, compassion, and respect she's received here have been exceptional. A special thank you to Kelly, the social worker, who is knowledgeable, supportive, and truly cares. Carina, the activities director, is also wonderful and brings so much kindness to the residents. All the nurses, assistants, and staff have been wonderful. I never imagined putting my mom in a SNF, but I feel very lucky she's at South Marin. As a former long-term care volunteer ombudsman, I also want to add some perspective. I've seen reviews mentioning delays in care. The reality is that staffing shortages are a widespread issue across the industry due to policy and funding challenges. That said, the staff here consistently do their best under difficult circumstances. Based on both my personal experience and professional background, I can confidently say South Marin Health and Wellness is a top-notch facility. Thanks team, I appreciate all of you!

My Mother has (unfortunately) needed rehab stays several times in the last few years at multiple…read morefacilities. South Marin is by far the best. Their PT (what she tends to need most) is terrific - the PT therapists seem to experience little turnover as the same individuals have provided PT for my mom over several stays. Despite being very busy, the social workers are also very helpful. And Dr. Susan Nguyen (the hospitalist there) is wonderful - caring, smart, and on it. Rehab isn't fun, the facilities are all really busy and frustrations are inevitable. But we will keep requesting South Marin when my Mom needs it b/c it's the best around.

The receptionist was very cold and said I would get a call back in one week. I never received a call back and after leaving 4 more messages I finally got a message to call them. I have never been able to talk to a person each time I called their clinic. I would not recommend this clinic.

I found Letha via her…read morewebsite looking for a home assessment so that my husband could safely return to his home after a stroke. Letha did a wonderful job with the home assessment and then began providing in home therapy services for my husband. She is highly experienced, well credentialed and she provided excellent treatment each session, including my husband in goal setting while addressing his physical, cognitive and emotional needs. My husband has made remarkable progress under her care, not equaled by the therapy services he received while an in patient at skilled nursing facility in the county. Letha is a treasure.

Letha is one of those outstanding people you are grateful to find and will do anything to hang on…read moreto. For years now I've had the honor of teaching alongside Letha at conferences, as well as watching her as a therapist with both young people and adults. She is experienced, skillful, understanding, insightful and resourced. Her therapy helps both children and their parents vastly beyond what they came for. She evaluates, pin-points and then helps children transform their challenges into calm functioning and effective action. To watch her in action is a joy. As a speaker and educator, she makes the complex simple and accessible. She is gifted in her hands on work as well as her heart-centered advice, in her work with children, parents, educators and therapists. If you want only the absolute best occupational therapist and/or trainer/speaker, I urge you to connect with Letha Marchetti.

Our child was a late talker, so we did our research and found East Bay Child Development Center…read more(formerly PLTA). From intake to our final class, the staff made sure that the scheduling process was a breeze, and that visits did not fall short of expectations. They have an excellent staff dedicated to your child's development, and the office is pristine. Not just clean; very well kept. I noticed that there wasn't one tear on a book or broken toys. They put lots of effort into upkeep, knowing well that toys and books can take a beating with younger kids. East Bay Child Development Center has terrific speech therapists and therapists specialized in helping in all other types of child development, including but not limited to physical therapy, etc. We went through 2 different speech therapists and 1 or 2 therapy students which was a little harder for our son to grow accustomed to because it would take him awhile to warm up (which I've learned isn't unusual for any development therapy center), but each therapist tried their absolute best to ensure they were giving him the utmost care and attention.

They failed my son after 3 session. Excuses that he doesn't listen, he runs fast that worried about…read moreyounger children there. That speech is not a good fit for him, that his sister runs around the hallways exploring toys and opened doors of offices, about me get a phone call so they discharged him from services. This is racism and discrimination by the way ladies I want to give you suggestions, your office needs a new administration, organisation and functionality. Everybody there seems to go everywhere, I don't know if these people work here are they clients. The back door to the outside was open, this is called dysfunctional. The office receptionist was like his first day to work, confused and looked around like a lost boy. There four people by office were speaking loud and chatting. They failed my son years ago when he was younger because they said he was not ready for speech when I just changed my insurance to get accepted to come here. Now he's 12 years old saying he's not a good fit. Shame on you to say that to me. You can't discharge him that's illegal. My son is trying with his speech and he has rights in California to receive speech therapy any age. Discrimination by the ability, then age, what's next because his sister running around the office and also I was on the phone? For that lady who spoke with me today over the phone couldn't wait on me. And making me feel like I was being fired from the job, she sounded rude and said my daughter was running around the room and I was speaking loud on the phone so the excuse to fail my son. Then changed her words saying he's not a good fit and he runs fast and wants to push the kids. She needs to find more excuses for her to dismiss him. You don't know how hard and challenging to be a mother of autistic kid. I finally thought I have him his speech going and then you locked me up like shutting my mouth. Go see if your speech therapist is the one who has the problem. She too lazy to give speech therapy or has a lack of skills. This is Shameless and discrimination.

Multiple scheduling issues without much communication or effort to make things right. As an educator I would never refer this company to any student, family, or friend. Look elsewhere for better and professional businesses.

Vickie is an amazing practitioner…read more Our infant had an issue with breastfeeding so we tried going through our large healthcare provider. We did not feel like our particular situation was understood, and the solution they proposed was made with zero confidence. That is when we reached out to Vickie Kellar. She was patient with our questions and incredibly gentle with our son. Vickie quickly and accurately diagnosed our son's lip and tongue tie and referred us to a specialist for revision. She also gave us a multitude of suggestions to use post-revision, including exercises and special toys to use for tongue retraining. I would wholeheartedly recommend using Vickie for your child's oral-motor needs!

We had the most positive experience with Vickie when my son began speech therapy at 20 months old…read more He was very behind his peers in terms of language, and we started speech therapy right when the pandemic began, so he lost all of his socialization at daycare. Vickie was very thorough and a pleasure to work with and masterfully coached us through promoting pre-linguistic skills through play and reading at home. My son is now 4.5 years old and has very strong language skills, and is also easily learning Spanish. I have a 16 month old daughter and I am constantly using techniques that Vickie taught me with her even though we haven't seen her in a few years. She was wonderful about sorting out any issues with Kaiser, sending detailed lesson overviews and further suggestions, and just being incredibly supportive of my concerns about my son. If you're considering speech therapy for early intervention purposes, I highly recommend it! It gave my son a great foundation for his language skills to begin to flourish.
