My mother broke her hip and was sent to San Luis Transitional Care . The staff was filled with the kindest and most caring people. From the nurses and occupational therapists to the physical therapists, aides, and custodial staff...everyone was so friendly and positive. When she arrived she was limited to lying in bed and using a bed pan. The OT and PT did not let that stop them. From the first day their goal was getting her back to her life at home. They were supportive, encouraging, and pushed just enough to keep her progress always moving forward without pushing her too hard or making her feel discouraged. The facility is clean (due to the constant diligent work of the custodial staff) and truly feels more like a home than a hospital. My mother was able to sit out in the "Living Area" and interact with other residents and nurses. Every room has a window and exterior door with natural light and a view of the outside. This was important for my mom. The food was good and residents have an option from a daily menu so they can make choices for themselves of what they can eat. The Physical Therapy room was well equipped and large enough to accommodate multiple people.
After my mom's hip surgery I was so worried about leaving her in an unknown facility with strangers and nothing but time to kill while her hip healed. After the first few days she was so upbeat when I visited and had nothing but positive reviews of all of the nurses and staff that I felt so thankful and appreciative of these amazing human beings who were caring for my mom. A few shout-outs to Raquel, Nellie, Cree, Vonique, Laura (PT), Louise (OT), and others whose names I can't recall but their care of my mom was no less!
I cannot say enough great things about San Luis Transitional Care. There is not a thing I can criticize. Every person who dealt with my mom the last 8 weeks is an angel in my book. Thank you to Compass Health for hiring such professionals who truly care for their residents. read more
