Pacific Coast Post Acute

My mom is in Kindred. The staff is more than adequate, friendly, and helpful. She's been eating in her room, and she's eating most of the food, so it's very good. She does physical therapy. They had an atrium with birds, as well as a couple of patio areas they could go out to.

Our mother is a current resident of this facility & has been for the past year & a half living in long term assisted care. After being diagnosed with Alzheimers Dementia & living with my husband & I for almost 2 years prior to her coming here, my sister & I feel we understand her needs. The quality of attentive care she has received at Pacific Coast Care has been exceptional! The entire staff, doctors, nurses, cna's, housekeeping, laundry, meals, activity direcors & all of the administrators continue to provide the upmost of loving & compassionate care for her. We would strongly recommend Pacific Coast/Kindred, Nursing & Transitional Care to anyone who may need this type of care. We feel very fortunate knowing our mother is safe & being well taken care of. Thank You Pacific Coast Care for ALL you do, every day!!!

during my 5 week stay at pacific coast care, i discovered the kindness and caring of the staff. the nursing aides were attentive to my needs and the licensed nurses listened to my concerns. i would return to this facility for supportive care and would highly recommend it for other elders who need surgical recovery and support. occupational & physical therapy staff was great and the social worker on site very informative.

When I came to Pacific Coast Care I knew what to expect because my husband use to be a patient in this facility. I felt like I was coming back home because I came back to friends. The reason why I choose Pacific Coast for my rehabilitation stay was because I like the fact that the nursing staff actually cares for their patients. When staff comes to work I can see they actually enjoy their job and care for the patients and not just work to receive a paycheck. The aides do their very best. I usually take care of everything I am able to do. I do as much for myself. I have nursing staff do very minimal for me and that’s because I have been here long enough to be able to provide for myself. All the therapy staff is really good. I had most of the therapist treat me with the exception of a few. I feel that all the therapists here are terrific because they know what they are doing and work on things that we need help with. The food is not that bad. The food is decent to eat.

I came to Pacific Coast Care after having a stay at Salinas Valley Hospital due to a fall causing a pelvic fracture. About 5-6 years ago, I was in this skilled nursing facility after having a knee surgery. So I decided to come back to them to receive treatment for my pelvic fracture. All the nursing staff were very helpful. Leila was one of the greatest CNA'S I had. I would go visit other patients within the facility and when medication came around my nurses always found me to give me my medication on time. The room I was in was fine and housekeeping came to clean it all the time. As far a noise within the facility, I had no problems, as soon as I took my hearing aids everything was peaceful. The only problem I had about my room was that I didn't know when it was daylight because I was in the first bed. Once my roommate left, I was offered the window and so I moved and I loved it. My walking and balance was greatly improved by my therapist. I would receive therapy 5-6 days a week and I received an hour in physical therapy and an hour for occupational therapy. I enjoyed that Mercy the Activities Director would come and get me to join the activities. When activities were held she made sure I was there. They have an Aviary area and that was something I also really enjoyed. The only downfall was that Parking was terrible. People from home that visited me had a hard time parking that is something I feel needs to be improved other than that my experience was great! ( I would have given a 5 star but I choose 4 1/2 due to the parking)

I am concerned

Two family members were care by in this facility. Just in any industry there are good and bad. My grandmother was put on a special soft diet because she had severe dementia. I noticed they gave her the same meal every day for two years. Also, on many occasions I observed no one there to assist feeding her. The food was just left in front of her. They put her in a side room and did not move her around. She was just forgotten by the staff. They leave the poor elderly with dementia in the hallway and nobody is really communicating with them. On many occasions I noticed the staff making fun of them. Talking about them like these people are meaningless. It takes a special person to be a nurse. My aunt was at this facility as well. She had severe dementia, even though she knew who she was. The dementia was causing her to hallucinate and her personality changed a bit. I noticed one nurse in particular always said there is nothing wrong with her even though she complained of pain and other such things. The last time the nurse their told me their was nothing wrong with her, my aunt was unresponsive and she died at the nearby hospital only a few days.
