The Best Nursing Home Communities in Solano County, CA

"The first time my husband went to a rehab, he was at Vacaville Ranch Post Acute. They sent him home with huge compression sores on his heel, which is the beginning of all our difficulties, because he hasn't been able to walk. The physical therapy people were good, but the compression sores should not have happened. The upkeep was okay, and his room was fine. It's an old place. They had activities, which were the good things about them. The dining area was good, too."

"Rooms are clean, and decent sized. Staff is always helpful and polite. Residents do have things to do if capable. Bingo,movies , coloring. They do have TV in rooms . There is a cable fee that the resident pays. Which is pretty much the norm for most the places in the area."

"The reason we visited Vacaville Convalescent & Rehab is that my husband did have his rehab there, and they have assisted living there too. It's small, but with good help, good care, and good food. He participated in physical therapy when he could. They had excellent physical therapy and excellent cleanliness. They really kept their people clean, which was not easy, but they did. They were hardworking. They had a lot of staff there, and they were very pleasant people. The dining area was very attractive, and they decorated it like all the homes decorate for every holiday. It's not really beautiful, but what I liked about it is that they really care for their people -- nobody's dirty, everybody gets very well taken care of, excellent care. Some doctors even put their parents in there because they get such good clean care and medicine and everything. "

"I was in the need of a nursing home inbetween my stays at the hospitals. I had the pleasure of staying at Bayberry. Not only did they take care of my medical needs but they handled the emotional needs of a young woman who had lost her mobility. The food was excellent, the therapy I recieved was good and the employees went out of their way to help me with my daily tasks that I found difficult. Although I depended on the nurses so much, some how through their kindness and understanding I kept my dignity. "

"We had a tour at Stonebrook, and the first thing we noticed upon arriving is that the whole place is spotless. This made us feel this is the right location for our mom. The atmosphere was very cozy and relaxing. There was no tense feeling that we got. The entire staff greeted us with a smile and made eye contact, which even confirmed more that this would be appropriate location. They made us feel comfortable. The whole place was outstanding. "

"My friend, Virginia, spent several months at the Pittsburg Care Center after she fell and broke her leg. I visited her two or three times a week, and was very impressed with the quality of her care. The facility was always clean and fresh smelling. The staff was pleasant and seemed happy with their jobs. Once when I was there early, the cook came in and asked the new arrivals their preferences--favorite and least favorite foods. When I asked Virginia why, she said that if someone's ""least favorite"" was on the menu, she would substitute one of their ""favorites."" Those are the basics. They also had: cooking, music and craft classes. They had bingo day and ""game day,"" and popcorn and hot dog day. When I talk with Virginia now about it, she actually sounds a little nostalgic. In my opinion, this is what assisted living SHOULD be. "

"My father spent 12 days at Windsor and we very pleased with the care and therapy he received. He is 84 years old, stubborn and difficult, yet the staff could not have been kinder. Would highly recommend. "

"I was in Napa Post Acute. The food was decent and they took really good care of me, and there was a little TV and everything. It was only me and one other guy in the room. They just remodeled the place, and the rooms were really nice. The place is really, really clean and nice, which is what you're looking for. It's more of a rehab place. They got me up twice a day and made me do some walking and stuff. The staff was great. They have a gym. They bring your food to you."

"My mother is in Napa Post Acute (Formerly Golden Livingcenter Napa) right now. They are working with her, and they give a lot of attention to her. She's had a lot of people coming in. The doctor, nurse, social worker, occupational therapist, and other therapists, all talked to me and explained to me what they were doing. They had a team come in to check the condition of her skin. The lady at the desk was answering phones and took the time to run into her room and give the phone to her. When I first walked in the facility, it kind of smelled like pee, but the area where my mother is didn't smell like pee."

"Correct, San Miguel Villa is no country club of a nursing home, but they admit patients of very complicated conditions and my family is simply grateful they admitted my father—no one else would (not even private pay facilities, when we offered to pay privately). My father has been there 7 years and the staff has done a very good job caring for him."

"My mom is a patient. Jade from admissions has been so helpful and very nice. Everyone has been so friendly and attentive to my mom’s needs. I was able to take a tour which made me feel that it is a safe and caring facility"

"My sister has been at Pleasant Hill Post Acute. For a few months following a stroke. The care has been extraordinary! I will start with the reception desk. I live several hours away and when I would call to talk to my sister they were kind and took the time to check to see if we could connect! My sister praised the food and loved bingo:). Everyone who works there new her and greeted her with love and kindness! So thankful she made good progress with Pt so thank you to the team! I only met Shanna as her CN but she answered so many questions with great patience! A big ACCOLADE to Marilyn for your consistent follow through for next steps!!!! You answered our many questions, answered phone calls promptly, and when placement for my sister fell through you worked diligently to provide possibilities and have given resources for us to use in the future! Words are not good enough to say the full thankfulness I feel! May Post Acute continue to thrive as you serve lives!"

"My husband was in Shadelands Post-Acute for two weeks, for rehab. I liked it for its cleanliness and space, and it didn't have locked doors. They have a system there where they have a certain amount of portable cell phones, just like a regular phone. And they give you this chart and certain room numbers, and so you can call that and they will bring a phone to the resident. The staff was okay, but it was hard to get information from them. The place does not smell of urine. It's immaculate. The bathrooms are immaculate. It's incredible. The rooms are on each side of a central hall, but the hall is large and airy, and that's where they have some tables for people to sit outside, or visit. They have physical therapy there. This place is like walking into a hotel. It's amazing for what it is."

"My mother is in Antioch Convalescent Hospital and she's getting really good care there because both the hospice company that chose this facility for her and the facility itself are monitoring her care. The staff and the rooms are excellent. They have lots of activities like church service, group clubs, Bible study, crafts, and things like that. The best thing about this facility is that their CNAs and LDNs are really accomodating. When you ask a question, they always have an answer. It's an older facility, though. "
