Nursing Home Communities in Antioch, CA

"My friend, Virginia, spent several months at the Pittsburg Care Center after she fell and broke her leg. I visited her two or three times a week, and was very impressed with the quality of her care. The facility was always clean and fresh smelling. The staff was pleasant and seemed happy with their jobs. Once when I was there early, the cook came in and asked the new arrivals their preferences--favorite and least favorite foods. When I asked Virginia why, she said that if someone's ""least favorite"" was on the menu, she would substitute one of their ""favorites."" Those are the basics. They also had: cooking, music and craft classes. They had bingo day and ""game day,"" and popcorn and hot dog day. When I talk with Virginia now about it, she actually sounds a little nostalgic. In my opinion, this is what assisted living SHOULD be. "

"We had a tour at Stonebrook, and the first thing we noticed upon arriving is that the whole place is spotless. This made us feel this is the right location for our mom. The atmosphere was very cozy and relaxing. There was no tense feeling that we got. The entire staff greeted us with a smile and made eye contact, which even confirmed more that this would be appropriate location. They made us feel comfortable. The whole place was outstanding. "

"My father spent 12 days at Windsor and we very pleased with the care and therapy he received. He is 84 years old, stubborn and difficult, yet the staff could not have been kinder. Would highly recommend. "

"Correct, San Miguel Villa is no country club of a nursing home, but they admit patients of very complicated conditions and my family is simply grateful they admitted my father—no one else would (not even private pay facilities, when we offered to pay privately). My father has been there 7 years and the staff has done a very good job caring for him."

"My husband was in Shadelands Post-Acute for two weeks, for rehab. I liked it for its cleanliness and space, and it didn't have locked doors. They have a system there where they have a certain amount of portable cell phones, just like a regular phone. And they give you this chart and certain room numbers, and so you can call that and they will bring a phone to the resident. The staff was okay, but it was hard to get information from them. The place does not smell of urine. It's immaculate. The bathrooms are immaculate. It's incredible. The rooms are on each side of a central hall, but the hall is large and airy, and that's where they have some tables for people to sit outside, or visit. They have physical therapy there. This place is like walking into a hotel. It's amazing for what it is."

"I was in the need of a nursing home inbetween my stays at the hospitals. I had the pleasure of staying at Bayberry. Not only did they take care of my medical needs but they handled the emotional needs of a young woman who had lost her mobility. The food was excellent, the therapy I recieved was good and the employees went out of their way to help me with my daily tasks that I found difficult. Although I depended on the nurses so much, some how through their kindness and understanding I kept my dignity. "

"At times it can be really busy, but you know what you can expect from facilities as such. So some of them have better stuff than others and some of them offer different services. Overall, the facility was okay, but not necessarily what I was looking for my parents. The staff was wonderful and friendly. "

"My mother was at Tampico Terrace for 3 weeks. I give them very high marks. First, everyone I interacted with was really friendly and supportive. Second, they were very informative. If I asked a question of a nurse or therapist, they responded with clear information that had been entered into their system. Their responses were clear and data-driven. Finally, the administrative staff was incredibly helpful and informative regarding insurance and other coverage questions. They really made things easier on my father and me. "

"My sister has been at Pleasant Hill Post Acute. For a few months following a stroke. The care has been extraordinary! I will start with the reception desk. I live several hours away and when I would call to talk to my sister they were kind and took the time to check to see if we could connect! My sister praised the food and loved bingo:). Everyone who works there new her and greeted her with love and kindness! So thankful she made good progress with Pt so thank you to the team! I only met Shanna as her CN but she answered so many questions with great patience! A big ACCOLADE to Marilyn for your consistent follow through for next steps!!!! You answered our many questions, answered phone calls promptly, and when placement for my sister fell through you worked diligently to provide possibilities and have given resources for us to use in the future! Words are not good enough to say the full thankfulness I feel! May Post Acute continue to thrive as you serve lives!"

"This is a very large skilled nursing facility located near Rossmoor, a large senior adult community. Overall, I've had a pretty positive impression of the place. They offer extraordinarily good rehab: OT, PT, and ST. But it's all group therapy, and some of my clients haven't liked that. That's rare, though. Most people feel encouraged by the group. Therapy is offered two times a day and on Saturday, if needed. That's unusual and a real plus. Also, if a patient is in the John Muir Medical System, a physician from John Muir is there 8 hours a day. That's really extraordinary and a real plus. Another plus: They have a beautiful garden courtyard, with roses and shade trees, that's amazing, just stunning. One negative: The food isn't good. It's mediocre at best, very institutional. The only other negative is that parking can be difficult. "

"I stayed at ManorCare, and it was excellent as it had more machines and more things to do in the therapy department. It was clean, and the rooms were nice. The food was OK. "

"My wife is now at Manorcare at Tice Valley. Sometimes the staff members get stretched a little thin but for the most part, it is a 5-star place. The place is very clean. The staff members are very nice. They have been trained to smile at everybody. I have eaten a few guest meals there and the food is excellent. The grounds are nice. There are fresh linens in the dining room, and they do a nice job about group disabilities. They keep the people together so that means that the care can become more consistent. Although my wife doesn't participate in activities, they appear to be very extensive everything from ice cream social, to bingo, and to zumba. The staff members are very pleasant. They're always there to help. If residents are struggling with something like opening a door or pushing a wheelchair, the staff members immediately come to your assistance."
