Nursing Home Communities in Lakeport, CA

"My husband has been placed in this facility after a fall that resulted in a broken shoulder. He is 6'5" and paralyzed on the entire right side as the result of a stroke. This facility is the best that we in this community have to choose from. Bob has stayed at another facility in the county and this place is much better. The nurses are not overworked and frazzled, the food is good and I really like the rehab staff. Everybody has their own TV and the sliding doors opening up the outside are charming. I felt good about leaving him there. "

"My friend had stayed in Redwood Cove for two weeks. It was understaffed. There were no phones and we couldn't get in touch with the persons. There weren't enough precautions taken because my friend and five other people got food poisoned there. It was terrible and there were instances that people were falling off their beds. However, they do work on the physical therapy. But they need more staff that was trained. They need activities and improve on their cleanliness. "

"My mom has gone to Meadowood Nursing Center. It's nice, very open, and bright. The room is okay. My mom is sharing it with two other people. However, if we were going to put her in there long term, I would not want that room because it's busy with all the nurses and everybody coming in. One of the other ladies is noisy, too. My mom got a lot of people coming in to check on her. They're helping to feed her now because she is having trouble swallowing. I think they do evaluations periodically with the social worker, the doctor, the therapist, and the nurse to assess how she's doing. I don't have a list of their activities, but they have an activity room, and they were doing movement stuff like tossing a ball. That's all I happened to see as I was walking by. The dining area was the same as the activity room. They had tables set up, and I think they had like four people at each table. The social workers are really good. I was only there a day and a half. Some of the staff are good, and some of them, I feel, are not good. "
