All I have to say is not but great things about Brentwood Healthcare. It was my first time having…read moremy mom at a home health Nursing Facility and this is the only place where they care and look after your loved one. The nurses were very sweet, attentive, take their job serious. I felt as if it was their own loved one. The PT was top notch my mom was already standing up after almost not getting up in 3 months at the hospital. Everyone from admissions, case management, PT, OT, CNA, medicine nurses, nurses supervisors. I would recommend anyone who has a loved one needing a care Nursing Facility to Brentwood Healthcare. Oh, most importantly this Facility was always spotless. Thank you Marsha, Tara, Tamara, Jessica, Leslie, Victoria, Ian, Lupe, Ashley and all thr staff! Oh her roommate Irma was the sweetest! Thank you Brentwood Healthcare.

We had to come back 06/26, my husband's illness progressed. DANGEROUS discharge, all at the hands…read moreof Brentwood Health. They tried to blame the transport company but that was a lie and proven as such. At discharge my husband, tagged gurney only, unable to move on his own, was lifted into a chair using a Hoyer lift, they said to take him to the medical transport van to bring him home. I was there when this happened and left so I'd be home when they arrived. I've learned since the gurney was supposed to have been moved. And they didn't take him to the transport van. He was left sitting in the chair for hours. They moved him into the rec room and simply left him there. In excruciating pain. He had multiple cancers and was coming home for Hospice. I called repeatedly asking where he was. Every time I was told he was on his way, over and over for hours. I was afraid to drive over there and not be home if he arrived. They kept saying he was in transit! I spoke to many different people. Later I learned he'd been calling out for me ... I was told that the following day by a social worker when the blame was still being put on the transport co. I had every intention of filing a law suit over this. I don't care about the money, they can't get away with this ever again. I haven't yet because he passed and I'm grieving. To be revisited. DO NOT BRING SOMEONE YOU LOVE HERE.

I'm here due severe weakness from lying down while sick. I receive OT/PT 5 days and they make it fun. I get a true work out, good food according to Dr.'s instructions. Late night healthy snack for those who fall asleep late. This is the most patient and professional staff I've seen that work 24/7 without a drop of laziness while some facilities are known for sleeping. If I ring my call button at night someone is there right away. I personally rate SMHC 6 if the system would allow me but it only goes to 5 stars. Thank you team! Vanessa Forte

Thanks for taking care of Nana and yes the office experience is excellent.

The crew were wonderful and I received top notch PT and OT. I interacted with a lot of patients during Bingo. It was very refreshing. I even got to watch Monday Night football in the common area. They had many great activities. I even got a great manicure. The most pleasant surprise was the Chef. Retired military and one hell of a creative cook, especially the deserts (even though he is a 49ers fan) vs my Rams. When it was time to leave they helped me pack as I had brought way too much stuff (clothes). A special shout out to Michelle and Mark for taking such good care of me. Sorry it took so long to post but I've been working hard at outpatient PT.

My husband has been recuperating from two major life-threatening surgeries at Pacific Post Acute…read morefor many weeks and he has gotten amazing care! The owner, administrators, nurses, aides, P.T. and O.T. staff, cleaners, food prepares, just everyone has been incredible attentive, compassionate and kind. I see that the staff get along with each other and have made friend with each other. They are happy working there and even travel long distances to work there which tells me they are treated well too. That means a lot to me! I have tears of joy thinking of how well taken care of my husband has been! They even recognized during his stay that something was wrong and perhaps he needed urgent hospital care. They insisted he be taken to the hospital...I believe they saved his life by doing that! Once in the hospital he was rushed to a further emergency surgery. When he was discharged from the hospital Pacific Post had saved his room and bed for him and all his things for him. They welcomed him back so lovingly. The food has also been good and the P.T. wonderful! They give him his meds everyday as directed, on time and correctly. Telling him exactly what it is he is taking. I would highly recommend this facility, though physically not the newest and fanciest, to anyone in need of skilled nursing care. Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart Pacific Post Acute!

I can highly recommend my experience and care under Dr. Reza Nabavi…read moreThere were days and early sobriety where I really didn't think I was gonna make it, but Reza took his time with me to listen to me and kindly offer his unwavering support.

At a time in my life when I felt very isolated, judged and misunderstood, Reza made me feel safe and heard. I have been to many treatment facilities and worked with as many if not more therapists. As I approach 10 years of recovery and reflect back on the journey, Reza stands out as someone who made a lasting and influential impact. The coping skills and insights he shared, as well as his unwavering and sympathetic support are big reasons I have been able to change my life and experience success in recovery. Thank you Reza!

PT, which was essential for my healing and recovery, was only offered briefly only every other week. Nurse response to call buttons was generally several hours.

Thrive treatment changed my life. A year ago I was at my lowest and only a shell of the person I…read moreonce was. I had lost hope and was terrified that the rest of my life I would be stuck in my addiction loop of trying to stop but never being able to do it on my own. Once I arrived at Thrive I knew within the first couple weeks that this place was special. The staff were kind and helpful. I didn't feel like just another number. I felt like everyone genuinely wanted me to be included and most importantly wanted me to succeed. It's scary to put your life "on hold" and your sobriety first, but all of the goals I set for myself in that first month , I have reached in the past year! And on May 24th reached my one year sober! Which is mind blowing Thrive showed me how to live life sober and enjoy it. They showed me how to be a good daughter, a sister, and a friend. They showed me how to look within and work through the shame I was carrying with me and come out on the other side I can truly say Thrive changed my life for the better and if you're on the fence about sobriety give this place a chance. After 20+ years in active addiction I thought I was a lost cause but they helped me build myself back up and gave me the template to build my life backup . I now have a life i can wake up and be excited for and most importantly I am proud of myself

After having a family member reside at this facility, I would like to respectfully share some…read moreconcerns regarding our experience. While we appreciate the efforts of the staff and recognize the challenges involved in providing care and support, we encountered ongoing difficulties with communication throughout our family member's stay. Communication with the assigned case manager was often limited, and requests for updates regarding our loved one's progress and well-being were not always acknowledged or addressed in a timely manner. As family members, we relied on these updates to remain informed and reassured. The lack of consistent communication frequently left us uncertain about his status and concerned for his overall well-being. In addition, maintaining direct contact with our family member proved challenging at times. Multiple attempts were made to obtain information and establish communication, but responses were often delayed or unavailable. This created unnecessary stress and uncertainty for those of us who were actively involved in supporting his care and recovery. We also received feedback from our family member, as well as observations shared by other residents, indicating that some interactions with case management staff could have benefited from greater patience, attentiveness, and responsiveness. While we understand that staff members manage significant responsibilities, respectful and compassionate communication plays a critical role in fostering trust and supporting residents effectively. Equally important is the partnership between a facility and a resident's family. Families are often the primary source of emotional support, advocacy, and continuity of care for their loved ones. Maintaining open communication and working collaboratively with family members helps ensure the best possible outcomes for residents and strengthens the support system that contributes to their success. Family involvement should be viewed as an essential component of the care process rather than an afterthought. These comments are offered respectfully and constructively, with the hope that they may assist in enhancing communication practices, strengthening family engagement, and improving the overall experience for both residents and their loved ones.

I came to Pathways Venice Beach with very high hopes just a week ago but have been deeply…read moredisappointed and dissatisfied. I very much like the owner, Lea, however, my experience is that this is a much bigger project than one person can handle. She is around part-time and addressing the issues when possible, however she is often in another state and seems to be very hard to get a hold of when I have pressed for a refund, or at least a serious conversation regarding the problems I've encountered. The "house staff" are not appropriate for their positions and actively add to the dysfunction. When I came to tour the house before moving in, two weeks ago, the place had been cleaned up and tidied. From what the other residents tell me, this is the common practice. I did not realize, could not have realized, and, of course, was not told anything about the rat, cockroach, and flea infestation that have been on-going problems for months, according to some of the other residents. There is often dog urine and/or feces that is left, unattended in the common areas. I have needed to clean it up in my room a total of 4 times since I moved in last week. I watched and waited to see how long it would take for one of the "house managers", who was aware of the mess, to clean up a puddle in the one bathroom that 9 women share, and it was well over an hour. The house stays in a state of filth and disrepair. The house itself is very old and is basically a tear-down but being used to house as many women as can be packed in here. There are health/hygiene issues of which the health department should be made aware. The icing on the cake happened a few days ago, however. I came back to the house around 10:30pm to discover a huge rat feasting on leftovers that had been left, uncovered, on top of the stove. I immediately called the owner and told one of the "house managers" in person. I then watched the same "house manager" simply move the food from the stove to a different counter, where he left it to be packed up later. I woke up in the morning to find the rat-eaten food stored in tupperware and placed in the fridge ready to make a nice snack for one of the unknowing residents. I have asked repeatedly for a refund, been vocal about my deep concerns, asked to have a conversation with the owner and been either avoided or told that a refund is not possible. I get the feeling the money that I paid has already been spent. Oh, and you want to know the cost of this place? They ask $3500/month and I've been told by other residents it has gone as high as $5500/month. The rats are living well

My daughter was referred to Pathways and this is the opposite of everything a sober living should…read morebe and should be shut down. A nice tour of the home was created for her and she met with the owner who gave her an overview of the program and support she would receive as a resident of the home. However, the reality of Pathways Sober Living in Venice Beach upon moving in became apparent and was quite opposite of what was presented and promised by this 'sober living' home. Lea, the owner is a likable person, however it is difficult to say the least to create, operate and maintain an effective program when you are not on site 85% of the time and your house staff does not have the necessary skill set, maturity, training, education or experience to work with addiction or eating disorder issues or run a safe and effective sober living program. Lea travels out of state and often times she was extremely difficult to reach and would not return calls or texts for days. In her absence, the house is run by literally a 20 year old and her friend who act as the house manager and staff. Pathways is not a true sober living by any means, it is basically a 'flop house' runs on dysfunction and by no means promoting of a safe or sober environment. The home itself is in poor condition and serious issues were often not addressed properly. There was black mold in the home, plumbing was often an issue, bed bugs and rodents were reported while my daughter was there and the food handling is often an unsafe issue as well. The cost of the monthly rent is exorbitant, $3,500/month and many of the so called program components that were to be included as part of this rent were non-existent. This program takes complete advantage of parents that are doing their best and often sacrificing due to the monthly cost to try to provide a safe, supportive, structured and effective sober living program and environment for their young adult kids in recovery. Unfortunately, it's the clients who often may be vulnerable that are placed at great risk in multiple areas in this environment.

Look no further. I have tried several different therapists…read moreover the course of my life - usually lasting 3-4 sessions each and have never felt like we were able to find anything tangible to move forward with. I like having goals - I want action items I can execute difficult moments... I am approaching my 8th session with Samantha and am incredibly grateful for all of the work we have done together. Grounded - Real - No Fluff - Together we organically find a device, whether a grounding exercise, a specific book or communicative approach having to do with the underlying cause of whatever the 'crisis of the week' might be. I very much value my time... I'm always busy... unable to shut my brain off... and deal w a lot of Anxiety -- I think I had negative experiences with therapy in the past because it always felt like a bit of a waste... somewhat pointless... I had better stuff to do!!!! MLT is anything but that.

Similar to other reviews, I had a call scheduled with Sydney Shaevel today. I received emails about…read morescheduling and a reminder for the call, but then she never called me and is not responding to my emails asking if the call is still happening.
