Golden Hill Health Care Center

Don't know where to start! I guess with good stuff first! Under the new ownership the rehab side got a major overhaul and looks really nice and is kept very clean! The nurses are very good and the rehab staff such as speech therapy and physical therapy are amazing and myself and family member like them a lot! Now for the nightmare part which is dealing with nurse manager and case workers at the facility! The nurse case manager is one of the most disrespectful and unprofessional nurses I've ever had contact with ( I work in the healthcare field)! She has repeatedly verbally disrespected one of my family members and myself! If you don't do what she wants she gets even worse! They don't like to be challenged! If you have private insurance they just keep telling you that it's going to expire and then it seems like they want to go after your family's assets! Unfortunatly healthcare is money making business and now that facility is a for profit business I feel like that's how the family and pt is treated! I'm personally disgusted on how they treated one of my family members during the care review meetings! They also make false alogations and divert you away from things to get what they want! It sucks because it's an amazing place for rehab and good care the management is something I hope I never have to deal with ever again!

The staff at Golden Hill worked very hard. It’s clean, and it was good. It’s a very big facility, and I would recommend it.

I am giving this facility a 4-star rating because it was obvious that the staff cared about the residents. They did their best to ensure that the residents were comfortable and happy. However, I was disheartened to see how impersonal the facility itself seemed to be. It was a county-run facility, and as such it was more along the lines of a hospital ward visually. The food did not look appetizing and the rooms were rather bland. As I stated before, it was obvious that the staff cared about the residents, but as it is with most health care facilities, they were a bit understaffed. It seemed that while basic needs were met, and as much attention was given as possible, some of the residents suffered from a lack of emotional care. I don't feel this lack was intentional of course, and in a perfect world every patient would receive as much personal attention as they needed.

I have personally volunteered at this facility as a young high school student (9th or 10th grade). The staff is extremely friendly and outgoing. They make the place seem more like a family home rather than an assisted living facility. The facilities themselves are quite nice too. The place is always kept very clean and tidy. As far as the community, they try to group together the most similar and compatible patients together to maximize the experience for everyone in the building. The floors are arranged by different types of patients with varying levels of care needed for each one. My great grandmother was there for about 4 years or so and she has been happy living there and always had good things to say about the staff and the people around her. She has had a couple roommates, al of which she got along very well with. I personally trust this facility because of their professionalism as well as their friendliness.
