San Bruno skilled nursing is a fantastic facility for anyone that's going through recovery after…read moresurgery, or any other ailment. I stayed there for 2 months after having a major surgery as well as a different surgery I had in 2022, and I must say I had a great experience both times! The staff is incredible! The CNAs work so hard, they dedicate so much effort, and patience, and care like genuine care to every patient they have, and are so kind! The nurses are equally amazing and dedicate just as much. I didn't experience one day where the nurses or the CNAs didn't have me smiling and do what they could to make me feel good when I had hard times. The next thing I want to mention is the physical therapy. The physical therapists each and every one is absolutely incredible! They take the time to listen to their patients, they don't push their patients to do more than they can do, they're always encouraging, smiling, and happy to see you each and every session! I can't say enough about them as well. The administrator Daniela is an amazing woman! She is the reason why I was able to be there in the first place and every time I saw her she was smiling and happy and caring. Just a beautiful person. The only slightly negative that anyone could say and it's very small is that yes like all other facilities the food could be a little bit better, but for what it is it's actually the best I've had in all of the facilities I've stayed at. But that's so small compared to everything else a patient can get staying at San Bruno skilled nursing. It really is the staff, Daniela, and all of the physical therapists that make a patient stay there worth it. So if anyone out there has a family member that is going through a tough time and needs that extra help, or recovering from any surgery I highly highly recommend they stay at San Bruno. It might be a little far from where you're located, but trust me when I say it's worth it. San Bruno skilled nursing facility is Fantastic! I definitely will be going there if ever I need to in the future.

my son just spent 2 weeks at the San Bruno SNF. it was his 3rd time staying there over the past few…read moreyears. When we came in I was amazed how many staff came into our room and remembered him ! When we walked the halls, staff from every department would greet us, it was sweet. ok, now about the care... Like all SNF's San Bruno is crowded with clients and staff can only do so much. But, I found that from the cleaners to the nurses, skilled or unskilled, the staff genuinely try their best to give every client the attention they need. Some need much more than others . I was there 5 to 10 hours a day, and got to see how things work. I found that clients with family to assist probably got their needs met quicker. And, the families are encouraged to visit their loved ones. I was welcomed at 7:00AM no restrictions... the outside visiting areas are relaxing. There are lots of airplanes but it's San Bruno so you expect that. I like this facility because it is a family of staff, all working together to help the clients. Even when we were leaving one of the aids came running up to us saying good bye, and she wasn't even working our room ! And, if there are issues Joe and his team do their darnedest to get it resolved. So go team San Bruno SNF , we'll probably see you again !!!

They have a large staff of physical therapists and occupational therapists, so every patient can receive therapy every day. As is usually the case, half the staff are Filipinos, but there are also staff from Indonesia, Nigeria, Mexico, Malta, Fiji, Lithuania, China and the Caribbean. One individual was even born in California!

*Disclaimer: This facility is no longer "St. Francis Heights". Goes by a different name owned and…read morerun by a different company. Generations Health Care (HQ in southern California) operated Saint Francis and my rating pertains to them, not to the current ownership, which took over within a year after COVID-19 was officially declared a pandemic in the U.S.* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Situated in a quiet corner in a fairly quiet neighborhood but also with easy access from Highways One and 280 is this care facility. Saint Francis Heights was very good for patients from Daly City or coming from the western/southern districts of San Francisco, who needed skilled nursing after a hospital stay. Some of those trying to recover end up requiring 24-hour nursing care long term. The building is at least a few decades old, and rooms don't have the newest shiniest advanced equipment, but it is kept very clean and mostly functioning fine. Staff did their best in caring for patients and residents. Nutritionists did what they could to provide individually tailored meals, but bottom line, the food and beverage were average quality hospital type fare. The pandemic posed the most enormous challenges, with regard to just trying to retain staff and keeping the virus at bay -- a virtually impossible task at any care facility. Many services and amenities were continually postponed or stopped altogether. And unfortunately COVID struck many here, patients and staff alike. Heights administrator communicated to families in a timely manner and heeded guidance from the County, even with constantly changing rules. By the way, St. Francis Heights is not to be confused with St. Francis Pavilion, the two-story structure next door. It's a separate building with a separate administrator. Still, both facilities are under same ownership and utilise laundry and kitchen facilities located at Pavilion and on occasion they share staff. Special thanks to former administrator Kordell, former nursing director Jessica, social service manager Nelai, nurses Carmen and Mary Lou, CNA Carmen and Neil, and Michelle of business office, for all their efforts. Patient care, attention to residents and family briefing were all markedly better when Generations Health Care was operating St. Francis Heights, before it was sold to an east coast company that runs nursing homes.

My mother was there for six months... She was diagnosed with dementia while she was there. I was…read moreshocked at the employees on every level and their response to people with dementia. No training in this department I assume. It just wasn't my mother. I watched a patient screaming in the hall at a nursing assistant who was screaming back at her. 100% unprofessional. their Covid knowledge was absolutely abysmal. They roomed Covid positive people with healthy people, and tried to say that was normal and OK. There were a few times that I observed the nursing assistance sitting in my mother's room, reading a newspaper or watching TV while my mother was sleeping and not caring for her at all. But that was not the majority. But there are bums collecting a paycheck in every occupation. On the flipside, MOST of the nursing assistance really did try. They're overworked, underpaid, understaffed. They don't have to be charming or sweet or entertaining but they do their job. BIG ISSUE! I did draw attention to the on-site nurse, the pharmacy nurse that would pass out medication. They did not watch medicine being taken. I found a collection of pills under my mother's tissue. The pharmacist swore up and down that he had watched my mother take the pills. Had no answer when I presented a handful of them. Nor was there an apology. But I sincerely think most of the people there try hard and an overwhelming job. the food was not cuisine, but it was edible and decent.
