Nursing Home Communities in Rosemead, CA

"The nursing staff is very good and very professional. The director does NOT care about the patients well being and appears to be too busy to help in any situations regarding any complaint processes. Also the office staff seems uninterested in helping families with insurance issues or trying to obtain better coverages. Even the social worker NEVER contacted the family to explain options either. The overall staff is wonderful and helps the patients recover, however, the insensativity of the director and office staff seem to really hurt the overall performance of the facility. The lack of caring in the directors attitude is not only unprofessional but also unacceptable. He should be looked upon by his superiors as he will ruin the place with that attitude. "

"As is the case with any of these types of facilities, the atmosphere and smell are one of the first things a person notices. However, after a few minutes there one gets accustomed to the place. The majority of nurses have been kind to my grandmother, I even visited once without letting anyone know ahead of time and I overheard a tender conversation going on between my grandmother and one of the caretakers. I ask her often how they are treating her and she responds positively. All in all I am glad that she is there with people who can speak her language and seem to know what they are doing. There was only one issue, one time we visited with my mother one of the night, male attendants seemed to be overwhelmed with all the work and refused to give my grandmother an alternative medicine at a time other than when it was scheduled. This individual did not know Spanish, which is why this likely happened. The situation was resolved quickly, and although there was no malice in his intentions, it upset us a little. To conclude, however, the person in charge that night was kind and assured it nothing like that would happen again, and there have been no complaints since. "

"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 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."

"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. "

"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."

"The care that was given for my husband at Sunset Manor was good, he got better. The staff were friendly. There are three people in the room, and the facility is clean. "

"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. "

"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. "

"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. "

"I have friends at Atherton, and a cousin of a good friend of mine lives there; we've gone to visit her. Her room was very nice. It was not very big, and there was a big double bed in it with just a little walking space around it. I'd like something a little roomier than that. It's a nice enough place. I trust that my friends really like the place. Her room seemed clean. The grounds and everything seemed fine. In addition to having rooms of various sizes, they do have healthcare. "

"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. "

"My mother is in the Alzheimers locked unit. The care has been great. She has been there 2 years now and I can say they truly do care about the residents. They keep me informed when anything happens. Of course no place is going to be perfect but they do strive for good care they keep the place clean and the residents are well cared for. "
