The Best Nursing Home Communities in Contra Costa County, CA

"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. "

"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 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!"

"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. "

"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. "

"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. "

"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. "

"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 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."

"Rooms are clean, and decent sized. Staff is always helpful and polite. Residents do have things to do if capable. Bingo,movies , coloring. They do have TV in rooms . There is a cable fee that the resident pays. Which is pretty much the norm for most the places in the area."

"I liked Orinda Care Center. The rooms were small and could use some updating. It looked like they had some activities that the people were engaged in. There wasn't much grounds; it was all parking. I liked the feel of it. I am upset that my husband is not able to get in there; unfortunately, they are not taking him at this time. The layout is nice. I wish that they would have more outdoor areas because there aren't any outdoor areas for them now. I think that would be very important for them to be able to go outside. I only saw one room, and it looked well kept. The staff person was very nice. "

"My mom is a patient. Jade from admissions has been so helpful and very nice. Everyone has been so friendly and attentive to my mom’s needs. I was able to take a tour which made me feel that it is a safe and caring facility"
