In terms of SNF, I think there are better ones out there.

Years of physical therapy and injections had failed me. The vibe in the office is amazing and healing. I was wt up with Anthony and he was wonderful. He immediately went to work with the machine, made excellent use of my time (unlike my PT in the past who left me waiting for 30 mins while she made a finger splint in the back, charging me $500 for one visit and the finger splint only lasting a month). After about 7 treatments (and seeing Lauranne while Anthony was away) I am finally better!!! I've been telling everyone about this place. They can treat a number of other ailments.

We had other family members who had come to Sensory Solutions for very different sensory challenges, and they highly recommended that we speak with Teri, the Director. I was overwhelmed by all of the unknowns we faced as parents with the clear challenges our son had -- daily life was challenging as he seemed to crumble with every new experience, every unexpected sound or touch, every surprise. We went through an evaluation with an OT (Kirsi) at Sensory Solutions, and she was able to quickly discern the underlying struggles behind the constant meltdowns we were experiencing. Having a name for these challenges and understanding of what was happening made all the difference for us. We have now been doing weekly OT for almost 18 months, and our son is in a much better place (and so are we). While he continues to be highly sensitive on most fronts, we have tools to navigate his sensitivities and help him through hard moments. We are so grateful to have had the expertise and care of Kirsi and the Sensory Solutions team. Our son has developed a strong bond with his OT and enjoys his appointments -- they're so fun he doesn't realize he's in therapy. We have wanted to steer clear of any therapeutic approaches that would make him feel like something is wrong with him because we know his challenges come alongside particular gifts, and the care we have experienced at Sensory Solutions has been perfect for this. Kirsi's focus on building his confidence and resilience has helped him tremendously, and we see the difference in him at home, at school, with family, everywhere.

The nurses, therapists, and all of the staff were kind, compassionate, and incredibly patient throughout his stay. The facility is very clean, well-maintained, and has a warm, home-like atmosphere. Everyone genuinely seems to care about the residents and works hard to provide the best possible care. We are truly glad that my husband was able to recover here. Whenever we had questions or concerns, the staff responded promptly and were always willing to help. The only minor drawback was that the facility's attending physician generally visited in the evenings, which made direct communication somewhat difficult at times. Other than that, we were very pleased with the care provided. The activities offered to residents were enjoyable, and the meals were good as well. We were also impressed by how professional and efficient the case manager and administrative staff were throughout the entire process. Thank you to everyone who helped my husband during his recovery. We sincerely appreciate all of your hard work and dedication, and we would highly recommend this facility to others.

Leaving a one star review only because I can't leave a zero…read more We had a horrible experience at Woodlands when bringing my grandpa here for rehab after his 3 month hospital visit. We were deciding between multiple options for rehab, and ultimately picked Woodlands because of the amazing reviews it had. However, there was not a singular positive experience that I could share. My grandpa got released from Good Samaritan Hospital with a strict diet plan and placed into rehab to gain his strength back. The first night the staff talked to us for over an hour asking questions about diet, exercise, medication and etc. We explained how he is strictly on a thick liquid, sugar free and small piece/ground food diet and must be monitored when eating due to his HIGH risk of aspiration. We come to check on him the next morning and see a plate of whole pasta pieces, chunks of honeydew and orange juice placed in front of him, which he was eating alone. Our over an hour conversation was clearly a waste of time as the staff did not listen to us at all. We experienced this situation multiple times. Helen would call multiple times, not even an hour apart, asking what his diet consists of, to not even listen and serve him whatever they had that day. The nurses would take my grandpa out in his wheelchair to stroll around, and one night as we were all visiting, one of the nurses brought him back to his room and we realized how he was disconnected from his oxygen tank. My grandpa went 10 minutes without an outside oxygen source and the nurses only came to help after we had to scurry looking for them, as they clearly did not realize themselves. My grandpa's breathing started to sound crackly and raspy, making us think he aspirated again. As we urgently requested to Helen for a doctor to come and check on him, she kept telling us how the doctor is busy but on his way for about an hour. She then proceeded to tell us how calling 911 might be a better idea. As we rushed him to the ER, we were told he aspirated and had to stay in the hospital again for another 2 weeks on antibiotics in order to heal. Woodlands caused my grandpa to go back to square one, ruining all the progress he made in the hospital. It's hard to see how so many people had good experiences at this rehab center, when for my grandpa it only caused him to get worse. I truly wish we did not bring him here in the first place, as it only weakened and damaged my grandpa further. It's sad to see nurses not care about an elders well being, and not be more prompt in this environment.

I've been really impressed with the variety of tools and techniques Karina uses, as well as the way she handles my son's behavior. She manages to find a balance between firmness and fun. Over the time since he was diagnosed, we have gone through several OTs and behavioral therapists, and not many of them had this special balance. It's also super convenient that she comes to our place, and brings her own box of stuff. She also has shown me some great exercises to improve my kiddo's core strength, which will also help him with fine motor tasks.

While I did find Mary to be just as knowledgeable and passionate as many other reviewers here,…read moreworking with her didn't turn out to be the best fit for my family. There are a few things that I wish I had known from the beginning, so I thought it might be helpful to share them with other families who are interested in the center: -at this point, fall of 2019, it doesn't seem that there is anyone else working at the center-some reviews mentioned a team of people, so I'm guessing that might have been in years past -because of Mary's delicate immune system, she requested that we cancel sessions if anyone in our family had any signs of illness, such as a runny nose. With my family, this was problematic, as I have a younger son too and work with children in my own work, so we ended up missing quite a few sessions even in the first month -communication about scheduling, superbills, etc can be challenging. Overall, I wish that these issues had not cropped up, as I definitely had the feeling that Mary has a lot to offer her clients and she also can be supportive of parents as well, with parenting tips if they are wanted.

AWESOME WOUND CARE FROM GOOD SAMARITAN HOSPITAL CLINIC. Four-6 YEARS AGO…read more I received amazing help from an Indian wound specialist doctor at Good Samaritan Wound care clinic. I wish I has her name. The original doctor (a male plastic surgeon from O'Connor Hospital) that closed a necrotic sore (deep open sore) without doing a biopsy of it to see if there was an infection inside, caused me to end up in emergency with a blood infection. His buddy another plastic surgeon at El Camino Hospital, with gray roots showing from his badly dyed hair apparently had received a call from the plastic surgeon that caused infection telling him that I was on antibiotics and should be fine not needing any help from the emergency department. that plastic surgeon that caused my agony, the elder doctor with the gray roots was trying to release me from the ER. My insistence on being kept in the hospital and have a lab test of the infection done, while refusing to go home until they found out what was wrong with me, and why I was shaking with a fever from a wound that had pus coming out of it resulted that I had a life-threatening blood infection from that surgery. I was in the hospital for five days
