Nursing Home Communities in Burbank, CA

"Villa Scalabrini was a very nice place and very reasonable. I just wasn't ready for a 1-bedroom place, I'm currently living in a 4-bedroom home. The staff that assisted me was very polite and accommodating, and we got a lot of information that we wanted. It was a lovely place. The big dining area was like a hotel's dining room, with beautiful lights and there's a grand piano for entertaining. I liked it a lot."

"Mother was placed at Dreiers for a period of 3 weeks after suffering a stroke. The rehab department worked wonders on her. The staff were all so nice. The best was the food! "

"Station 2 was the Station to be in! After the period of readjustment with the help of the admission staff who took it upon them self to make it easier, for someone like me who really did not understand WHY it was important for my recovery to be there,by taking extra steps for me to settle in and settle down. Station 2's Charge Nurse was able to educate me on what was expected of me in order for my CNA's and all my attendants, designated to my room (which I had to myself at the time) for a successful recovery. Side note, I was not the only patient under their care on any given day. They have a Physical Therapy Department which is vital to your recovery, unbeknownst to me. Having them PATIENTLY, work with you to execute exercises, educate you on the difference between Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy and why both are vital for the recovery process.Nutrition and meals are a constant work in progress, you are given alternative meals than the regular menu, however if you take the time to speak to them regarding your preference on a more specific nutritional diet, they will accommodate with no problem. They offer daily activities that you can sign up for or just attend, movie night, arts and crafts and faith services and more. Designated timed smoking area is offered. Visiting is allowed Monday-Sundays with weekends are big family days. With that said , Everyone that helped me in my recovery while staying here and the EXTRA steps they took to make me understand how vital it was for me to cooperate with them not AGAINST them, in order for them to do their job efficiently. I was not the easiest person to deal with upon my arrival at this facility. Refusing to understand, listen or cooperate with them.Their diligence, patience, extra steps, and effort for a full recovery was accomplished in my case , so with that, I have to give them a thumbs up. Super Great Job!! Now with that said, this is MY OWN OPINION and EXPERIENCE writing this review. I stayed at this facility from the end of September 2023 to Mid December 2023"

"My dad was at Studio City Rehabilitation Center. I recommend that everybody stays as far away as possible from them. The place is very interested in keeping its residents as long as possible so they can have their money. They gave substandard care. My dad was overmedicated on Valium and painkillers, but he didn't need them. He was unnecessarily given a feeding tube because he was demented and wasn't eating, and it turned out he had a urinary tract infection. The hospital that put the feeding tube in told me that he had bedsores and a urinary tract infection, and this is why he didn't want to eat and was acting irrational because he wasn't being treated for a urinary tract infection. My dad went through four months of hell, and now he is home suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder because of his experience there. They were inconsistent in his physical therapy if he got any at all. He was mostly just sedated and plugged in. When I want to get him out of there, they told me that I had to wait three weeks because it takes three weeks to get home care which turned out to be a flat-out lie; they just wanted to milk three more weeks of insurance money out of him. After I got home care, they told me it only takes a few days. I found the whole experience just awful. Also the food was horrible. "

"The facility was surprisingly large for what initially from the outside looks like a block of apartments. Trees and grass surround the brick building, on some sides the trees cover the whole building. Adds a lot to the atmosphere of being a quiet peaceful place, the theme is continued on the outdoor areas inside the complex with palm trees in the patio. There is even an option of gardening as an activity program. The hallways were neat and sterile, areas of the complex did feel like a hospital, but still a well maintained one.The entire staff was friendly in person, from the nurses to the directors. Things seemed a bit unorganized at times, but every staff member I passed by with the nurse I was talking with wanted to help. I did not interact very much with doctors. As for the older adults, most seemed understandably tired and depressed but there were some lively people. One older man struck up a conversation with me about his injuries, we talked and despite his need for independence he did not appear to be a lonely person and he seemed to be in good spirits and hopeful. Not that there weren't a fair share of people that did appear to be lonely and sad.There is nursing service available for different kinds of needs for the elderly from psychologists, pain management, individualized care plans, nutritional care, transportation, medication management and education to hospice program. There is care for Alzheimer's patients, sufferers of diabetes and treatment plans that are included in the board and room fee for bowel and bladder training, rehab, strengthening and other restorative programs. There is occupational therapy for day to day living as well as numerous physical therapy treatments and speech therapy. There are also activities like singing, fitness, music, games. They also have socials services for assistance during transitions to and out of high valley for services like dental, vision, podiatry and more. "

"My husband was in Imperial Care Center. It's immaculate and it's very clean. The decor and the staff were very nice. He was sharing a room. The rooms were kind of small, but they're clean and very well kept. Excellent service. The second day of his stay he had an accident. He fell and he's still in the hospital. He had stitches in his head. We haven't really got to do a tour and stuff like that, but we did get to the rooms and the front desk and met a couple of the nurses. Everybody was very attentive."

"My mom is at Oak Park. After her stroke, she went there for a convalescent rehabilitation. My dad was also there. We love Oak Park. They have great staff. The people are well cared for, and the activities are very lovely. They had a terrific Halloween Party that we went to, and they take residents out on field trips. "

"Extremely happy My mother in law Has been a resident For 9 years. They have Been awesome in her care. Was in the facility When inspectors came in the inspectors were Rude and very disrespectful but staff Seemed to accommodate Them and in the end all was well. Don’t know how they tolerate those Inspectors DON Is very good"

"I have a close friend who recently underwent a rehab stay at this facility to deal with a fractured pelvis. Within a week this facility demonstrated all the strengths and weaknesses of the for-profit American health care "system", beginning with a staff that's largely trying to be very caring but too often is simply rather overwhelmed. Compared to the staffing average in California, the ratio of licensed nurses to patients is rather light, with LVNs and CNAs pretty much handling all the hands-on nursing; based on this patient’s experience, don't expect to ever see an RN in your room. When things get busy, a patient's call light can sometimes not get answered for a very long time (I know, this is not uncommon pretty much everywhere, but it's still far from ideal). There's no doctor on staff; a physician's assistant comes through once a day and reports back to an off-site doctor (neither of them actually works for Windsor, but for Regal Medical Group, which has a very cozy relationship with Windsor). The PT/OT staff, also provided by a 3rd party vendor, are warm and friendly, but in the instance of this patient a mistake was made early on when a modality inappropriate for a pelvic fracture was tried, resulting in severe pain that didn't subside to pre-admission levels for days. I will say the place is clean, kitchen staff delightful (food is nursing-home serviceable), the valet for the too-small lot in back goes the extra mile with a winning grin, and everyone we asked for help with something was helpful even when in the middle of juggling other duties. There are two interior garden courtyards and a small dining/rec room as well as a good-sized main dining room for mobile patients; movies are regularly run on the large TV there. Each bed has a small TV on a boom with headphones to go with it, allowing for patients to be able to not have to hear their roommate's choice of show - much appreciated. There is a full calendar of activities for those who can participate. But expect to see, and hear, long-term inhabitants along the halls much of the day."

"My mom had lived for a short time in North Valley Nursing Center. We were very happy there. The staff had very professional ethics, and the nurses were very helpful. The room was a double occupancy room, though my mom did not have anyone in the room for at least two or three days, and then someone moved in with her. I would recommend it to others. "

"I am so impressed by the integrity of this facility! They were diligent and saved my husband's life. Yes, there is a cultural disparity given the demographics of the area. My husband didn't care! He felt welcomed, included, and became involved. I am in healthcare, and I saw they did everything by the book...family conferences, review of the plan of care, adjustments to meet specific patient needs. The staff helped bring him to his best possible level, and he is happy! The room was bright and sunny. Staff called him by his name and title. They recognized the activities he enjoyed and made sure he was participating. Parking? Not so good. But, the goal is patient care and comfort, not how far I need to walk to visit!"

"My husband is at Sherman Village Health Care right now. It's a lot better than the hospital, and they're really attentive at the rehab center. I haven't had any negative experiences with the staff. I don't have any complaints about the place."

"I’m very happy that my Mother was referred to Valley Palms after her hip Surgery. Many thanks to the rehab team and nursing team for your handwork and dedication."
