My mother needed physical rehab after falling and injuring one of the vertebrae in her neck, but then died 3 days after being admitted to Encompass Health in Mesa. She had prior medical issues, so we were told that her care would be managed by a medical team which included an M.D., only to find out that an M.D. was let go and no longer on staff the day my mom passed away. We don't believe she was ever under the care of a medical doctor any of the days she was at this facility, which is medical negligence and fraud!

I stayed here for a month following a hospitalization for a knee infection that became septic and…read morerequired continued antibiotics. I thought my care was very good. The people were really nice and they worked very hard. You need to realize; however, that this is not a resort. They assist a lot of people, with different needs who require precise medical care. There is a degree of "regimentation" with med time, meal time, shower day, therapy time. They do try to have some fun with posted activities to try. I am now looking at additional surgery on my knee and I would not hesitate returning to The Center at Val Vista for my recovery.

After hospitalization at Mercy Gilbert, my wife was transferred here for rehabilitation. It was…read moreonly supposed to be for a few days, but we still did our due diligence to identify a reputable facility. From that perspective, this location seemed reasonable. But, it was not. Upon arrival, their intake process did not cover anything specific about why she was there or any particular concerns. This was a problem because there were diet restrictions. The nurse doing the intake seemed aghast -- responding "you don't believe in anything" -- when my wife answered "no specific religious beliefs." The nurse skipped the "do you feel safe" questions commenting that she would skip those because I (her husband) was in the room. That's exactly why you ask those questions AND YOU DO NOT SKIP THEM. After that, they brought in her dinner, before checking her glucose, which was precisely what led us to the hospital to begin with. When I expressed my concerns with the charge nurse, they came to the room to discuss and indicated that we could always reach them by phone -- a phone they always have with them (though he had inadvertently forgotten it at his desk, so he did not -- in fact -- have it with him). The PT/OT was okay, it was slated for 3 hours a day. But outside of that, my wife could not do any of her own recovery or work -- including walking. So she'd be sitting or lying for the remaining 21 hours in the day. That didn't seem conducive to recovery. We ended up leaving the facility after one night. The facility itself was fairly nice, and a handful of the staff were helpful, but overall it was not a place that I would recommend. I have zero confidence in their ability to provide the level of care expected or desired.

Our family has been very pleased with the care our loved one has received at Santé of Mesa. From…read morethe moment we arrived, everyone has been welcoming, compassionate, and genuinely committed to making residents feel comfortable and cared for. One person who has made a lasting impression is Blair Williams. Blair has such a positive spirit and truly goes above and beyond to brighten the residents' days. Whether it's organizing games, painting activities, live music, birthday celebrations, or simply spending time talking and encouraging the residents, Blair brings so much joy and energy to the community. It's obvious how much Blair cares about the people who live there. Knowing our loved one is not only receiving quality care but also being treated with kindness and respect gives our family real peace of mind. We are grateful for everything the staff does and highly recommend Santé of Mesa to anyone looking for a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility.

I was paralyzed in 2019 while working as a heavy machine operator for a mining company. After I was…read moreable to leave the hospital I ended up staying at Santé for years (off and on) & it's the only physical rehabilitation facility that I will go to. I have had the displeasure of staying at 2 different PT rehabs before I ended up at Santé & you would not believe the horror stories I have from those places, just unbelievably awful (Both stank of urine & feces the moment you get passed the front desk.) & Sante was like a Godsend for me. Let me start with the facility 1st. The place is very nice. They have a Starbucks Cafe, a full gym staffed with friendly & knowledgeable physical therapists that will work with you everyday, a full restaurant, and most importantly, HUGE SPACIOUS INDIVIDUAL ROOMS equipped with a flat screen tv, a mini fridge, a kitchenette, a microwave, and a nice big full size bathroom for my wheelchair. Next let me tell you about the staff. Everyone there is so friendly & polite. I stayed there for years & most of the staff stayed there and are still there since I first went to Santé in 2019 (That should tell you something. Most nursing facilities are like a revolving door when it comes to the staff). I'd like to mention some names of people who really became friends of mine while I was there. Marlin, Brian, Aiden, Catalina, Sharon, & Kimberly from the CNA team are all excellent at their jobs & true professionals. These guys went over & beyond their duties for me & I thank God for their help, they truly are the best (You need to trust me on this, at other places I've had criminal's & people who just don't care & I never got that at Santé. They were always good to me). From the nursing staff id like to mention Betty, Jose, Fennela,& Elizabeth. These nurses are top notch. They actually care about the patients & they don't treat you like a person that they have to deal with, they treat you like a person & that is so rare in healthcare especially post covid. If I had to complain about anything it would be the food. When I first went to Sante in 2019 they had an extensive menu with lots of options & the food was actually good. I left for a year and when I came back the kitchen had really gone down hill. You know it's not good when the employees don't eat from there. I talked to the main chef Daniel & he told me they cut his budget drastically & the quality of the food suffered as a result so it's not his fault, corporate is always looking to save a buck & they shouldn't do that with the food, it's kind of important for those who have to stay there for long periods of time. I was able to eat there everyday if I wanted to but I ordered delivery most days because the food was nasty. There are so many others I am forgetting to include but the staff for the most part is amazing. If you are looking for a nice place for yourself or a loved one look no further. It doesn't get any better than Sante of Mesa. Other places will put on a show for you & trick you into staying there thinking it's a nice place & then when management goes home the night crew will come in and they are terrible, sometimes even abusive. This doesn't happen at Santé, they even have couches in the rooms with pull out beds so you can have a loved one spend the night with you, they welcome it because they are fully staffed at nighttime and don't leave you with a skeleton crew like everywhere else. At least that's been my experience. Last but not least I'd like to thank Kristina the maintenance manager! Kristina is an angel walking around on earth. She totally gets me & we were friends (she is another 1 who has been there a long time.) She will make sure everything in your room works & she keeps the place nice. Management is also great! If you do choose Santé' make sure you don't get Irene as a nurse. She is a nurse at Santé who doesn't belong. She is the only one I ever had a problem with & it was like she liked to pick on me. I honestly never did anything to this lady & for some reason she was always rude & unprofessional. Whenever I would ask for her she literally took an hour or longer to get to me if she ever came at all. I would ask her to change my folly catheter in the morning time and she would blow me off all day & try to pass the work on to the night nurses. The worst part about working with her is when I would ask for her help I could actually hear her just talking & laughing with the staff instead of attending to my needs. She made some of my days very bad & I always loathed the days I had her for a nurse but she is the exception, all the other nurses there are great, especially the ones I named. If you have any questions feel free to ask me, I will answer any questions truthfully because I know how important it is to put your loved ones into a good nursing facility & God willing I never need to go back but if I ever need to stay in a nursing facility again Sante is where I would go. I hope this helps God bless!
