Nursing Home Communities in Salinas, CA

"I am beyond pleased with the efficiency & professionalism of the Director of Admissions, Mariah. She was a godsend when trying to get my mom transferred out of a facility that was beyond negligent and into Pacific Grove Healthcare Center. She was patient, informative, and overall amazing. Since arriving, my mother is significantly better all around. Just the bright, and open layout of the facility has her happier. The friendliness and trusting demeanor of the stuff has her more relaxed and at ease. I would recommend Pacific Grove Healthcare Center to anyone looking for a top notch Skilled Nursing facility in the Monterey area. You and your loved ones are in great hands here!!! Thank you again Pacific Grove Healthcare Center, & Mariah for everything!"

"I went to the facility. I have eaten there more than four times. The plus is that you can walk downtown Pacific Grove in a few minutes. That's wonderful. They have for people who have independent living, they have apartments, their whole wall is glass with an ocean view. It was beautiful, it was astonishing. They have singers and people to entertain them over there. They take people to the swimming pool and the sports centers, I guess in a van. The facility is very beautiful. The apartments are astonishing, beautiful, and some of the apartments have ocean views. They have a library. The staff is wonderful. Twice or three times a year, they invite people who are interested. You spend the afternoon eating and socializing, and they talk about the facility. They are very friendly and accommodating."

"My dad moved into assisted living at Canterbury Woods - Pacific Grove. It looks very nice. He knows several people who currently live there and he's able to work out a deal where his current home health aide can continue to be his aide there. The dining staff and director were very helpful and nice to work with. The food looks fine. There seemed to be quite a few activities, like lectures and discussion groups. My dad has struggled a couple of times recovering from pneumonia and they have on-site skilled nursing so he can move from his apartment into that long enough to recover and back to his apartment without going into a different facility. They have a large facility where they do exercises and lectures."

"Bonjour! We have been so happy with our stay at Cypress Ridge thus far. It is hard enough to need medical care during these trying times, but they have gone above and beyond to make the stay remarkable. We especially appreciate the visitation offered, both indoor and outdoor. It makes us all feel so safe knowing the precautions being taken to keep everyone healthy but not preventing the needed in-person visits that allow us all to thrive. There are so many unique seating areas outdoors with comfortable chairs and privacy so we can have visits and take photos. Even the food here is good, its not Cannery Row good, but for a hospital setting they really know what they are doing with the restrictions needed for a healthy menu. We are so happy that we chose this facility based on the word of mouth and online presence, its out first time needing this level of care. I know we would not be heading back home to Pebble Beach without the short stay and therapy time here at Cypress Ridge first. Thank you all!"

"This was a great place, i was treated with respected and i recieved best help from all the cnas and nurses. They didnt treat me like a patient they treated me like family. Thank you to everyone at windsor monterey care center "

"Mom moved to Carmel Hills Care Center. They're attentive and quick to tell me anything that they do that involves changing medicine or any change in medical condition. I think that's what I like the most. They have a large common area. They have two or three smaller common areas that range from areas to read newspapers to playing bingo, chess, and backgammon to coloring, to just a peaceful place to look out the window or be outside. She is in a shared room and it just looks fairly common."

"My mother is at Valley Convalescent Hospital. She has only been there for a week and a half now. She has a wound that they're dealing with, and she has MS, so it's harder for her to get around. They pretty much do everything other than feed her. She feeds herself. The staff is good and really helpful. They keep you updated on what's going on. For any changes, they call me all the time. My mother has a roommate. Their room has been updated. There are beds and curtains divider in there. It's got nice flooring. My mother has her own TV. They have their own bathroom. In terms of cleanliness, the place is really clean. They have an activity director. They do all holidays, they have parties, they have food, they have music, and they play bouncy ball things. They're active, which is good."

"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."

"My father is in a skilled nursing facility -- Mabie Southside -- and they are excellent. It is on Hazel Hawkins campus and is part of the Hazel Hawkins Hospital. The facility is very clean and very accommodating of the residents. The staff is very competent and skilled, and they are very family oriented. "

"Best home in the county. Nice rooms. Clean. Patients are well cared for, they have a beautiful garden and a charming little snack shop. Physical therapy was great. "

"My husband stayed in Gilroy Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center, and we got him out in five days. They didn't have a choice because of how much COVID had gone through there. Anyone coming in new is in a room by themselves. Nobody comes in and out, and they leave your food at the door, and you get it. Even though I was told he was going to go there for rehab to get him up and walking, they said once he got there, they couldn't do that. I wasn't able to interact with anybody other than the social worker once, and he was really nice. My husband just hated it there. He wasn't allowed to see the staff, or even to walk in the hallway. It should be rebuilt."

"My mother-in-law is at Pacific Coast Manor. The facility is very small and clean. Everybody is very friendly there. My mother-in-law is eating everything. She hasn't complained at all about the food, and she's a picky person. The rooms were small. My mother-in-law's insurance company is paying for it. She has been getting really good care."

"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."
