Nursing Home Communities in Pacific Grove, CA

"Ave Maria was recommended to us, so we chose this facility. The staff were good. The rooms were modern and very clean. It's really very nice. The food seems to be very good. Their dining room looked modern and clean too. They have an activity director, and they do all kinds of things. "

"Katherine Healthcare has provided highly skilled nursing, rehabilitation therapy, and post-acute care services to both my 90-year-old brother and currently myself. Having much experience with larger local facilities, Katherine treats their patients with utmost dignity and respect not just a barcode on a wristband. Every staff member displays a true heart for the patients. We are more like family than patients. The facility administration runs a very tight ship often on-site weekends and holidays. The therapists utilize the gym rigorously to achieve maximum recovery as soon as possible. As a soon to be discharged patient I highly recommend Katherine Healthcare to anyone in need for their self or their loved one, weather for post-acute recovery or long-term care. Definitely a 5-star facility!!! "

"My mother was admitted to The Ridge February 8, 2015. She was transferred there to recuperate and to recover from a brain surgery that was due on a fall on her head. Also, she has wounds and ulcer on her heels that need ongoing medical care. She also requires regular physical or occupational therapy. Her P/T, Josielyn, is really helping her out to walk again. Her CNA, Anna Saenz (7a.m. to 3 p.m. shift),help with tasks of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and toileting. The Ridge provides round-the-clock medical supervision and 24-hour staffing by licensed or registered nurses. I have met L. Bey, nurse practitioner, and she explained all the medical care that is being administered to my mother. All the R.N.s and C.N.A.s and the rest of the staffs are very accommodating, professional, and very friendly. The Ridge is "spic and span", very clean. My sister and I visit my mother everyday for at least 3 hours. "

"My father has moved into Windsor Skyline Care Center. The care is very good, and there is plenty of help throughout. Everybody helps everybody there. He likes the food; it's very good. The rooms are small: 2-bed, 2-room. Visiting hours are really flexible. Masks are to be worn when visiting the room at this time. I find it to be very clean, and they were very respectful to the residents. The staff is very good. They answer all my questions. If they don't have the answer, they tend to go find it or send me to somewhere where I can get it. I did see on a board, there was an activity thing. I saw things like bingo and a walk that was going to be done either today or tomorrow. There was movie night, and there was a meet and greet time on the calendar. I did see a place that has a library. Other than the rehab facility, I really didn't see a lot. I did see what they called a meeting place. It was like a lunchroom/activity room. My father doesn't have a problem eating the food. I think it's very good value for money."

"My husband has been a resident approximately 5 times over the past year and has most recently been there for 4 months. I cannot imagine a place that he would get better care. The nursing and administrative staff could not be more caring, gentle, compassionate or helpful. I am always updated with my husband's situation, any changes that happen and am greeted each day with a smile and a personl hello. "

"My mom is in Kindred. The staff is more than adequate, friendly, and helpful. She's been eating in her room, and she's eating most of the food, so it's very good. She does physical therapy. They had an atrium with birds, as well as a couple of patio areas they could go out to."

"My dad is staying in Watsonville Post Acute for long-term care, and it's close to where we live. They are helping him with rehab because he can't walk. They feed him, clothe him, and bathe him. They get him in some physical therapy and stuff like that. There have been a couple of incidents of him falling, considering he can't get up and walk, and that's a concern, but it happens everywhere, so they were aware of it. The facility is clean. It doesn't stink when you go there, like urine or some places smell. It's very active and busy. They're always cleaning and changing stuff. My dad's bed is always made and always neat and clean, and he's always clean. The food is like any hospital food. It's bland. They've got some decent programs. They're all too expensive, but that's how it is."

"This facility is very bright and airy. It is a very safe and clean facility. The surrounding neighborhood is in one of the better areas in town. The staff is friendly and energetic and their interaction with the residents is very patient and kind. The area is quiet and peaceful both indoors and out. There is a huge living room area with a big window where residents can hang out and enjoy some sunlight and a view of the passing cars and people walking by. The residents are friendly and the staff is caring and warm. The residents here seem as happy as they can be considering where they are. I enjoy talking to some of them and hearing their stories from long ago. There is opportunity for daily exercise for those interested. The food that was served for lunch looked appealing and not like typical "hospital food" which I was expecting to be served. It appeared to be very balanced and nutritious. All in all this was a nice place to visit. "

"My mother is at Pacific Coast Manor. The food is pretty good. Her room before they put her to the extended care was okay. She's now in the back and they don't have phones, so they either use a tablet or they use their cell phone. Her old room was spacious. They have a little canteen and they give them regular food, but if they want Coke or chips, they have to pay for it themselves. They had activities, and they have a garden outside. The staff is pretty good. It's just not worth the price. There's a chaplain in there, too."

"My mom is at Hearts and Hands Post Acute Care and Rehab Center. I think this is her third week. It's very clean, and the people are very professional. They're very good on probably everything. Communication is great. They're very attentive, very knowledgeable, and professional. The rehab is going well. The staff are very, very good. My mom was in a shared room and then she was on antibiotics, so they had to move her into an isolated room. The activities are a bit limited. It's not like a big open facility; it's a lot about rehab. But they have reading, they have puzzles, they have get-together rooms, and they have TVs. There's a whole separate facility for the rehab and I haven't been back there, but it's working for my mom. She is up and about, so physical therapy is doing pretty well."
