"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."

"While this facility is not in the best neighborhood, nor have the best curb appeal, I could not be much happier about the location my grandmother has been living for over the past five years (and actually it is probably closer to 10 years at this point). She has always been well taken care of in her time there. Suffering from Alzheimer's, she cannot necessarily let us know the level of care, but during all visits, she is clean, her wounds are taken care of, and her needs are being met. The staff has been very helpful and kind. They are respectful of family wishes concerning her care, and also communicate any health concerns as they arise. This facility has been a blessing for my family. Not only is my grandmother well cared for, but it has not taken every penny the family has collectively to ensure such excellent care. I would recommend it to friends and family. "

"Grand Valley looks a little crowded and it's kind of fast-paced. The staff does what they can. The rooms are all shared. The food was pretty decent. They have a list of activities but I don't see them really pursuing all of it. My mother is there mainly for physical and occupational therapy."

"I'm very happy with The Care Center on Hazeltine. They're taking very good care of my mother. It was recommended from the in-home hospice care that she had. It's very clean. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. They have her on a liquid diet that my mom's not crazy about. For other people on regular diets, the food is a 5. They take her every day to an activity room. She doesn't participate in anything, but she sits there and watches. When I go visit her, there are always a lot of people in there, either playing cards, watching TV, or playing checkers. I'm very happy about that. They have somebody that comes and take care of my mom's hair. She's had somebody come to put nail polish on her. She's not active in anything, but for people that want it, they show movies and they do outings. Right now, we're not paying for it, it's covered by Medicare. After this weekend, Medicare won't pay anymore, and it's just under $195 a day after Medicare stops paying, so I believe that's a little on the high side."

"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. "

"They treat my father great and he has adapted really well. I was afraid at first but the staff is friendly and helpful. We were blessed to have been recommended to this facility. Thanks! "

"The rooms at Villa Scalabrini were very nice. I was very impressed. My mother was there eight years ago and when I went back to look at it, the main staff was still there. They're very caring, and they're very good. They have Bingo and crafts, a lady comes in and does current events, they play basketball with the waste basket, and they have sing-alongs. They keep them very busy. Their activity room is very spacious, and the dining room is very nice. They have a library, an exercise room, and quite a bit of activities."

"My husband was a resident of Berkley Valley Post-Acute. They were neglectful of my husband. He had many things going on and they didn't pay attention. The physical therapy people were the only ones that were good. The rest of the staff, I had to bring their attention to everything that was happening. My husband wouldn't eat their food, so I had to go shopping and bring him food, and he ordered food. The food was not good. They did have what they called a rec room where they played bingo or whatever. As far as an exercise room, they had a physical therapy room for the people who were there for rehab and physical therapy. The physical therapy rooms looked fine. They had equipment and I guess I'm going to say three on that. My husband was in a three-men's bedroom, which I thought was terrible. So I'm going to give the rooms a one. They're outrageous, from what I understand the insurance paid and then I had to put him on Medi-Cal, and it seems like I don't know what they charge today, but it's a lot and it seems way out of line. I believe it's $500 a day for a three-bed, for whatever they do, which is nothing. So I have nothing good to say about that facility."

"My mom stayed at this facility in the spring of 2011 for three weeks after breaking her ankle. My grandma also stayed there several years back. I am pleased to say that this facility greatly improved from the last time I was there. The staff was much more friendly and attentive to my mom's needs then they were when my grandma was there. The equipment such as the IV and bed was also working properly which was not the case last time. I am also pleased to say that this facility was also very clean and the staff changed all the linens regularly. I have been in other assisted living homes in the San Fernando Valley and this was probably the cleanest one I have been in. The nurses at California Healthcare were always very friendly and never hesitated to help my mom get to the restroom when she requested help. The only real negative from her stay and why I give this facility four stars instead of five is that the rooms were small for people staying in short stay accommodation (there were three to a room) and my mom didn't have enough space to use her walker and therefore get to the restroom on her own. It was also difficult for me to visit her when staff was attending to another patient due to the lack of a place to sit or stand. All in all, I would recommend this facility to friends or other family "

"I appreciate the staff they do a great job."

"I came here for Rehab during covid. This place was clean I had way more than enough food so those that don't like it are probably on some kind of medication making it hard to taste or maybe it taste badd to them but I'm not on that kind of medication and it tasted fine and every me who's truly more than I could eat. I never rang the nurses bell and had to wait longer than 10 minutes which was only one time. Every other time if I rang the nurses button someone was here within 2 minutes maximum. The formal physical and occupational therapy I Received following my hip joint replacement surgery was excellent quality. My Room and bathroom were kept clean daily even if they did not hear from me for a while someone would pop their head in and make sure I was doing OK and the staff was truly pleasant and loving and I think that makes a success. I leave here tomorrow with a smile on my face."

"It's a clean center and there's no smell. My mother had been in a different rehab center before but Burbank Healthcare has no urine smell at all. It's very clean and the walls are shiny. There's wallpaper on the walls and it's just comfortable. The staff are very nice. My mom is happier with the place compared to the previous one. I haven't eaten there yet but the food looks good also. "
