My wife arrived at Moraga Post Acute late on a Friday night by medical transport from John Muir…read more She had spent 2 months at John Muir having had 3 procedures 2 blood infections and 10 days at UCSF having a large brain tumor removed. She still needed heavy medications to stop the blood infections. We choose MPA because of their reputation on physical therapy. On arrival she could not walk, sit up, feed herself, roll over etc. The first week was hard, but MPA administered the prescribed medications and planned for therapy. The second week physical therapy really started. First sitting up, then standing, then a few steps. Feeding herself and going to the toilet may not seem like much but when your in a bed for 2 1/2 months these are big. By the end of the second week physical therapy was helping her walk outside and enjoy the grounds. Because of the brain surgery falling was just not allowed. At all times there was a PT/OT person inches from her should she need help. My wife walked out of Moraga Post Acute into the fresh air, and then the ride home after 2 1/2 weeks. We came to MPA for the physical therapy and that's what my wife got. Thank you all for your help, patients, support, and your hard work.

I came to Moraga post acute care because I broke my pelvis in January 2024. I found that the care…read morewas exceptional. Breaking my pelvis was no joke and very difficult for anybody especially the CNA's who attended me for all my needs and toiletries. There was always someone to help me and not leave me alone during my recovery. I found the food satisfactory and always delivered to our rooms on time. The rooms were cleaned every day by a very very efficient lady. She was also very entertaining. I stayed for six weeks and had three different roommates which the last one was very nice and we seem to have mutual understandings. I would recommend Moraga post acute care. The physical therapy sessions were seven days a week for me and the therapist were very thorough and supportive of me to walk again and have the equipment that I needed to support myself without falling. I have been in two rehabs in Nevada. The first after I had a stroke ending and left side deficits and the other for collapse vertebrae in my lumbar region, and neither of these facilities had daily cleaning Moraga post acute care made me feel very comfortable facility took cleaning very seriously .

I have to update my review as things have gone downhill. We had a rough start with Childs Play with…read morefrequent turnover with their SLPs made it difficult to find a good match for my daughter. We finally got a good match and they "switched departments". Then they started saying I had to move my time due to scheduling conflicts even though we had waited 2 years to get the time slot we had. We got moved with a new SLP and I complained that they kept canceling and rescheduling. I can only assume they were double booking so instead of taking accountability for their poor planning, they decided to discontinue services simply because i advocated for my daughter. They dont seem to care about the children, they just want their paycheck

Here's my experience as a parent I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the lack of…read moreflexibility in the assignment of the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) for my son, who has been receiving services from your company reaching the two years mark. Our district contracted with your organization, and at the time of enrollment, we and our district were not made aware of the strict two-year contract policy that restricts the RBT from continuing to work with the same student. Allow me to provide some context. My son is a 17-year-old nonverbal individual with severe autism. He is extremely shy and requires a significant amount of time to build trust with someone before they can enter his personal space. Unfortunately, during my recent meeting with Dale Young, it became evident that no exceptions could be made to extend the contract of the current RBT with whom my son has developed a strong bond and trust. He kept stating that he firmly believes that it's important that they are able to work with others we agree as well we are seasoned parents. He's 17. There is rotation happening already in the classroom everyday. I just wanted him to have the best last two years of high school as possible and not have to have a transition happened twice. So at the end of the day, your company and Dale Young do not taken to consideration of the individual human. By this decision by Dale Young and your policy is going to cause extreme regression and depression anxiety on my 17 year-old son. I left the meeting with feeling like I was talking to a AI. You guys have to do better and consider your clients human beings, not just cases
