Nursing Home Communities in Monterey Park, CA

"My dad was at Monterey Park Convalescent Hospital for a month and a half. The nurses and staff were good, but my dad just wasn't ready for it yet. My dad goes to a lot of activities, and he's very active, so it's not a good fit for him right now. But for people who can't move or do anything, I would recommend this facility. The facility is very clean. My dad likes the food. They were not doing a lot of activities because of COVID. They had a patio in the middle with chairs, sofas, and an umbrella. The rooms were a little outdated but very clean and well kept. They had an activity room and a therapy room."

"My grandmother was a resident at this facility for about 2 years. After multiple strokes, she needed round-the-clock care and a full-service staff to tend to her needs. The facility was always clean and in order. Seemed to be a very sterile environment, both in the private rooms and out in the high-traffic areas. The cleanliness was never an issue. However, I felt the care was slightly under par in her latter time at the facility. One half of my grandmother's body was completely paralized and she was unable to move freely on her own, needing assistance with every day tasks we take for granted, such as putting on lotion, going to the bathroom, etc. There were days when I would come to visit and her fingers were full of dried blood, small scabs, and dry skin from all the pricking the staff would do to her fingers. There were others times where her bed sheets and diaper needed to be changed and they had neglected to do so. Other times I would come to find her hair dirty and uncombed, or her face dirty. She would get cold very easily and I would find that she was always in need of an extra blanket when I arrived or sometimes her sheets and blankets were not covering her feet and she would just need someone to readjust them for her to keep warm. There were also times when I would visit and her mouth would be extremely dry and her throat would hurt because they had neglected to give her water. My grandmother was taken care of, but not in the way that I would have hoped, and definitely not in the way that I would have done. Had my mother and I had the finances and the space to do so, we would have much rather hired an in-home nurse and had her spend her final days with us, in an environment of love, care, and in a place where she would have been perfectly provided for.

"Great nurses. Carmen and Whitney are very attentive and nice. The facility itself is small, made my mom feel cozy and at home. Great infection control, I was very pleased with the communication from social worker and case manager Cindy. "

"Having lived at the Atherton for 21months I don't know about everything that is available. But I can tellyou from my experience it is a wonderful place with a christian atmosphere. The food is delicious with caring servers. There are a number of studies you can be a part of.We have a inside pool kept at 80 degrees, a spa, pool room,exercise equipment, etc. We have plots for gardening, this is what I really like. there are art classes, a large library,and a a variety of games. As you can tell my wife and I are very happy here. "

"I feel highly fortunate that my mother is a resident at this facility. The quality of staff/resident interaction is exceptional. Residents are always dressed, well groomed, and engaged in interactions with others when not resting. The staffis highly communicative with me, the person responsible for overseeing care. When there is any medical issue, no matter how minor, they call me to inform me of the details and the steps that are being taken to resolve the issue. The staff is always cooperative in answering my detailed questions, and resolving differences when we disagree. The food is of good quality. The facility never smells of urine or diapers. It is clear when I visit that they staff genuinely care about my mother and she is comfortable with them.Each year the court sends an investigator to evaluate the quality of provided care and to be certain that as the conservator I am doing my job. The facility is open and responsive to these visits, never acting as if there is something to hide. "

"I was able to visit, and I like this facility a lot because it seemed much cleaner and nicer than the other facility I've visited. Their rooms were nice and big. When I first met the staff, they seemed very nice."

"My mom stayed in Montebello Care Center for 5 weeks. They have speedy recovery for rehab people and more long term care for some. The facility was quite well kept except for laundry. My mom seemed to like the food, it was okay and adequate. They get a notice on what food they'll serve. My mom seemed to enjoy it. She had a pretty good room but somebody was always in the other bed. The wall was beaten up a little but when I told them to fix it, they did. They were pretty good with activities too. One day she was in the hall and there was music. I wheeled her in and she enjoyed it. "

"My dad is at Live Oak Rehab Center, and I like it. We didn’t have any problems with it, but dad didn’t seem to be adjusting his current situation. The staff is nice, but everybody seems to be in a wheelchair and not doing much all day. "

"Alderwood is honestly a great assisted living facility. I've only met one staff member who did not seem to love their job, and even they still did more than what was asked of them. All of them have made an effort to get to know my family, and greet us by name whenever we visit. The amenities are also very good, but I cannot give more information since my grandmother seldom utilizes them due to her inability to walk and lack of desire to socialize. The residents are also very kind, they smile at me every time I go. The best thing about Alderwood is that the staff seems to really care. Everyone there is happy, and I rest well knowing that my very fragile grandmother is in caring hands. It is located in a good, quiet area. San Gabriel is a great city, and is also very close to my city so visiting is very easy. I cannot stress enough how great this assisted living facility is. With all of the stories of abuse and etc, it is very hard to choose a home, especially when my grandma has been known to lie incessantly. We wanted to know that we were putting her in trustworthy hands, and her social worker, constantly makes sure of that. She has told me that he visits her constantly and my family is also close to her social worker. Although assisted living places aren't really the greatest places in the world, I think Alderwood is the lesser evil by far compared to other homes. "

"My mom is in a nursing home called Country Villa. She has been there for a few months now. A friend of mine recommended this one. I love this nursing home. She is in a shared room with another patient, so it is very small. They have to share four people in one bathroom. However, what I like best about this facility is the staff. They're very helpful. They are really nice, caring, and very accommodating. The first week was kind of rough for my mother but then after that I can see that she is very happy right now. She jokes around with some of them. The staff is just excellent. Their social worker was even kind enough to offer me some help with finding an assisted living for her when time comes. Overall, I'm happy with where my mom is right now. "

"My mother spent six weeks in the Mission Care after her hip replacement surgery since April 2021. The nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and staffs were all loving and caring. Nicole (the nurse) would hold my mom’s hands to encourage her to eat more. The therapists (Charlene) would encourage her during the therapy to walk again. One nurse set up my mom’s iPhone to have the tidal wave sound to help her go to sleep. With all these professional and emotional support, at the fourth week there my mother was able to walk on her own again with a walker. She is 86 years old and had a three hours surgery! Lee, the administration director had gone above and beyond his duties to support us at the most struggling stage when my mom just got admitted to the facility. At the end he also guided us how to get prepared at home when my mom was ready to be discharged. From admittance to discharge, the whole process was pleasant and smooth. My mom’s health had absolutely improved A LOT after spending 6 weeks there. "

"Buena Ventura was very nice; the people and nurses were very good. The garden was very nice too. It is very a friendly and comfortable place. When I needed something, the nurses were there. The room was very clean and nice. The housekeeping cleaned the bed every day. "

"This nursing home is one of the better ones out there. The staff there do a great job of making sure all of the resident/patient's needs are met and the living environment is pretty comfortable. My mother lived there for 2 1/2 yrs. and they did a great job of being attentive to her needs/care while she was there. The staff worked well with the family in coordinating her care. "
