Nursing Home Communities in Antioch, CA

"My mother is in Pittsburg Care Center. The care is going OK. It's been a really good experience. The staff is really good. I received one meal and it looked good. The dietitian came to see us the first day we were there. They have bingo. They had some orientation going on and everybody was in the multipurpose room/cafeteria. They have buses. It looks OK in the interior. The outside looks so nondescript. You can barely figure out where the entrance is. When we first got there, the two CNAs who helped us were so nice and helpful. My mom wanted to get two Christmas cards for two of the staff members because they were so nice. I have no complaints about the staff. She's in a room with four people and that works out. There's a high school two blocks away and when the high school gets out, it's a virtual parking lot. If they go to visit, plan to leave before the high school gets out at 2:30. It's just a lot of traffic around that time."

"Right now my friend is at Stonebrook and it's a good nursing home. They were great. I love the staff there. I have no complaints about this facility, they are fantastic. The nurses are very friendly and very caring. "

"Windsor Manor Rehabilitation Center is a wonderful spot for my mother. She's been doing very, very well. They let me know if anything is wrong. If there's anything out of order with her at all, I get a phone call. Day or night, it doesn't matter. They're wonderful about doing that. Since we can't visit in-person, they schedule video visits for us. I just had one with my wife a few minutes ago. The staff is excellent. They're caring and they let me know about everything. I've got all their numbers. I must have a half a dozen different people that take care of her for different things that I can call any time. The location is great. It's close into town. It's not far from where I live now, and that's the best thing in the whole world. They have activities, but she's not able to participate in them yet."

"My husband moved into San Miguel Villa. It's an older facility, but they're very conscientious with what they're doing. My husband seemed to like it, they're really nice to him, and he's eating good. They're doing rehab therapy for him. The room is average size, and he has a roommate."

"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. "

"This is a skilled nursing facility in Walnut Creek, about 20-30 minutes east of San Francisco. It's clean and light, and the PT and OT programs are good. The thing I really like about them is that they're very flexible about dealing with dementia and the attendant behavioral challenges. I had one client who was obsessive compulsive and had other behavioral issues, and they handled her well. Overall, the care staff is attentive and responsive. They have good communication with families, too. The food is also good--and plentiful. My clients give them good marks for both the daytime and nighttime food. "

"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. "

"My father stayed at ManorCare, and it was good. It had the same problem that most skilled nursing facilities have. Their staffing ratio is about fifteen to one. There were a lot of buzzers that were unanswered. That was probably very typical, but it was very clean. He had a nice room, and the food was pretty good. They had a top quality physical therapy. It was a good experience. "

"I had a friend in short-term care at ManorCare Health Services - Tice Valley twice. The facility was nice and clean, they're hospitable, and the accommodations were good. He was there for a long time, and that was the only problem. His room was pretty spacious, and he got room for his personal belongings. It was double occupancy and it had an ample size bathroom. It had two TVs, a nightstand, and it was spacious enough to have his wheelchair in there and a chair. They had a pretty lenient building visiting schedule. They also allowed him to leave the facility. At one point they made arrangements for some of his appointments, but not all of them. They were able to accommodate him that way. The meals were OK. He didn't really complain about the food, but they also allowed based on his diet for me to bring him food. The staff was friendly and approachable."
