Worst experience! I…read morehad an emergency surgery & was too weak to go home from the hospital 1) I was told Dr. Novac was my doctor while at the facility. Dr. Novac visited me once after I was admitted & barked questions at me. A couple of days later, there was confusion on my new prescriptions & I was concerned about my abdominal surgical site. I requested to talk to him again he refused to meet with me in the 11 days I was there. Husband called facility asking to speak to him & was told it wasn't permitted. (Red Flag) 2) Not once but twice, I had to correct 2 different CNA's? Nurses? about my meds being changed. In fact, I was already given meds that I wasn't supposed to take & I brought it up but was told I was mistaken. The young man who dispensed the meds, double checked & later apologized. The 2nd time it was a nurse, she argued with me, went out & grabbed the blister pack of pills to prove she was right & I had to point the name of meds on package & show her she was calling the meds by the wrong name! That was where the confusion was, both meds started with the same 2 letters. Scary! These are supposed to be professionals. 3) In 11 days, I was moved THREE times to 3 different rooms! I'm supposed to be resting to get stronger to go home. In all fairness, I initially requested to be moved to a quieter spot. The door to the rooms are generally left open & I had a light shining in my eyes all night long plus was in a very noisy busy area & they did move me in a day or 2. I was so grateful. This room was more quiet But every time the bathroom door was opened the stench of MOLD was super strong. I noticed there was a hole in the drywall under the sink & towels wrapped around pipes under the sink. One day, I had to let a cna know there was water on the bathroom floor which was mopped. Safety Issue! A few days later!! I was moved yet again. 3) In each room there are 3 beds. 1 bathroom. WARNING! It is not unusual for your roommate to be a sundowner. Be prepared for screaming and disruptive behavior all night. Nurses also come in the room at all hours to change their diaper and of course the lights go on & disrupt any sleep you might get. They are not quiet, either. I can't begin to tell you how anxious & stressed I became. Even with earplugs lights being shined all hours was so disruptive to sleeping. 4) Physical therapist & occupational therapists were very nice. However, I was super weak, had to use a walker, just had abdominal surgery & after a couple of sessions, I was so sore that I had to take tylenol and place ice on my abdomen for a few hours for 2 days. Knowing this, they continued to nudge me to do the exercises until I mentioned it to the head of the department in passing, then the exercises did become lighter. I was told by both therapists at different times I should have told them I was in pain during the session. But I tried to to tell them the discomfort did not happen during the sessions. Knowing how weak I was plus just having abdominal surgery possibly from the beginning warranted a gentler approach. 5) I had noticed that some "problem patients" would use the call button repeatedly for the nurses with stupid questions, etc. They were eventually ignored. But there is something so disturbing about hearing someone yell "NURSE" sometimes for hours. I was so stressed out. I was determined to be a good patient while here. It was clear to me that this facility was extremely understaffed. But ONE day I really needed to speak to a nurse. ONE DAY out of 11 days I pushed the nurse button only to be told the nurse would be right in. An hour later, I pushed the button & was told the nurse just had her break but would be right in. An hour later I tried again and was told yet another excuse. Nurse never came, I gave up and the next morning she came in to see what i wanted the night before without much interest. Very disappointing & frustrating. 6) Not always, but for the most part the food was less than cafeteria food. Some meals were ok. You fill out a meal form when you get there. I tried cold cereal for breakfast & it upset my stomach. I told 2 different people and also filled out another form but continued to get the food I couldn't eat. Sometimes, my roommate got my food by mistake and I got theirs. That's my experience. I hope it helps someone. In my case I was discharged from the hospital unexpectedly & my husband was contacted by a social worker or insurance agent (?) & was told I was going to La Paloma. This all happened within a couple of hours. Knowing what we know now, check with your insurance & see which facilities are covered. And if possible check the reviews. This was our first experience with a nursing facility and I'm not sure if they are all this bad, but it was a horrible experience.

Yet every single time I was there, their kindness and care for their patients was truly amazing . The nurses and the physical therapy staff were exemplary caregivers. I'd like to specifically shout out to James and Matt in physical therapy and Demi. The nurses were all so good, but there were so many it's hard to remember their names. To all the kind wonderful people that work here at this facility thank you for taking such good care of my dad and being so nice to me as well.

We also had a bad taste in our mouths and hearts never forgetting a past nightmare my late father had to endure in terrible conditions in a local facility back in 2012. So with this past very bad experience with dad, hearing mom say things like this elates us both.

Others when you ask for them for something will say they will be back in a minute which turns out to be 30 minutes or more or they forget what you want. Suggest they write down things to remember better. They also need to be in the dining areas and stay when meals are served unless an emergency occurs. The food for the most part is deplorable due to a lack of supervision. Especially weekends. They need constant supervision wherein the company including the board of directors need to invest in another head chef in addition to what they have. They don't pay attention to detail most of the time. I would have only 1 to 2 meals a week that would be good. I would give the employees a language test before hiring. The administrators including admit and discharge areas are outstanding. I would suggest that instead of having the discharge review board on just Wednesday's they do this on all weekdays like the hospitals and other rehabs do. It would help if they told all the patients their disposition and intentions to clear up a lot of misunderstandings as it is the patients rights to know that as long as they are lucid.. The Doctors are mostly hospitalists and they do take the time to discuss their intentions with the patients. I had Dr. Bertani and he did a fantastic job getting me back to health on several occasions. The physical therapists are outstanding. They see all kind of injuries and are well trained to help each situation. I don't believe they need any improvement from what they do. Helpful and caring is their motto. Occupational Therapy also helpful and excellent. I believe once a patient displays they can successfully do things on their own they don't need to go over and over the same things and waist time spend it on patients that need it the most.
