Nursing Home Communities in Spring Valley, CA

"My mom was in Arbor Hills for around three weeks, and I liked it a lot. I thought the rooms were average and seemed a little bit small but were adequate enough. I thought the staff was wonderful and very caring. "

"My Mom was there for rhabilitation, and as far as these type place go-- Parkway Hills has been theee best-! Truly caring staff & a wonderful, efficient, caring Discharge Planner! The food very decent most of the time. The biggest challenge was the phone situation--as at this time, they do not provide phone lines for each patient's bedside use--and not being able to connect, contact my mom whenever I wanted was very frustrating! The staff did their best to be able to walk a pphone to her when she got calls--however, much of the time, a phone was not available. If my mom were ever to need a place like this for care--we would definitely request and recommend-! "

"I enjoyed my stay at Grossmont because they gave more attention. I thought the food and staff were really great. They were friendly and concerned. They gave good attention to you like when they gave you a shower, they said: "You got to be careful" and they watched so you wouldn't fall. I told them that I was okay when I was by myself, but they were still concerned. There were two people in a room like me and another lady and each of us had our own flat TV and it was up on the wall. It comfortable because it was up and high so if you were laying down, you could still see it. We also had our own little cupboard area where we could put our personal items and also a bed side table.

"Country Villa La Mesa Healthcare Center is a smaller nursing home and VA contract facility. It is the only one available for long-term care. My dad has been there for two months now. The level of care is good, so far. The room isn't private, but my dad is fine because he is by the window. They have daily activities inside, but I wish they had more outside activities. The in-house activities are great, and my dad is participating. The food is normal. My dad has a healthy appetite, so he is always looking for more food. The facility’s location is not close to me, and it's small, so I wish there was a little bit more room for my dad to move around in. "

"My mom is in a skilled nursing facility in Chase Care Center. The facility itself is an older building and it definitely needs upgrade. They have small rooms. My mom is in a room with another lady and it is really crowded. Most of the staff is involved with the patients. They work very hard to treat and take care of their patients. "

"I was very impressed with University Care Center in San Diego. They had a very nice facility with professional Cali-style landscaping, and a very clean interior with a welcoming atmosphere that was nothing like a "typical nursing home." They were located right next to a hospital, and were within walking distance of a very large park where the elderly could go sit with their visitors. My client had everything nice to say about this facility, from the food to the staff to his treatment - which is the most important part. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone in the San Diego area. "

"Attention to the appropriate personnel: First of all thank you to all the Admission team and the workers who form a grand family, for the attention that helped my health and the therapy. I would also recommend those who need your services. Thank you for treating me like family. Yours truly, A. Ybarra "

"I moved my mom to Brighton Place. I liked their customer service much better, and the people seemed to be more caring. It’s an older building, but it is clean, and the nursing staff is more attentive. "

"Paradise Valley Manor is also a hospital, it's everything. The rooms are more than average. Their appearance is a little bit larger than the average facility. As far as I could see, the staff was very nice. They have a full range of activities and programs for people. It's a very nice place. "

"My husband stayed at Friendship Manor Nursing & Rehab Center. It was the best of all the places he has been. We had no complaints about the place. The staff was the best. The place was beautiful, very nice, neat, clean, and organized. They have a nice dining area."

"I found that the higher paid administrative staff were efficient and knowledgeable and always trying to help. The facilities need painting in a more cheerful color other than the usual industrial green and yellow. They did a very good job in keeping the building clean and the folks in charge of repairs and maintenance were quick to respond, initiate and finish a job. Storage area for documents was outside and a little awkward to access. I found that the admin staff liked to interact with the clients and were encouraged to do so, even if it was not their job. The outside area was sufficient and the security was average. I would have liked to see more gardening activities for the seniors so that they could get their hands in the soil and watch their plants grow. I find that gardening is a very good way to relieve tension and at the same time give the clients a feeling of satisfaction and pride in seeing their handiwork grow.I also appreciated that there was no religious prostlitizing going on and the client's privacy was always respected. At holiday time, I enjoyed the staff decorating the building and making all areas as festive as possible. "

"I am so happy my brother is being cared for there! It is clean and inviting! I always tell him I wish I could be resting there with him. I know that every family member just wants their loved ones to be taken care of and be in a safe facility that is professionally run."

"My brother was at Castle Manor Nursing & Rehabilitation Center twice, both times for short term. What we liked the most was the fact that they have a really good physical therapy available. There's plenty of staff, so you're constantly getting the care that you need, whether it's to get showers or meals brought to you. They actually have a smoking area, and my brother's a smoker, so there's a patio that he was able to go to or to be taken to in order to smoke. His needs were met, and that they were really good about getting his laundry done. The managers were available onsite, whether it be their coordinators or their senior nurses. Everything about that facility was positive because they were able to address stuff in a timely manner. They even had a little bird aviary right in the front lobby. They have a nice, large entertainment area where the guests can get together with the person they're visiting, and they can watch TV. They have a library, and they have people come in to sing, dance, and give presentations. There are plenty of community events going on. A lot of people didn't like the place, but the reason they didn't like it was the variety of food, because you don't have menu choices. There's very limited parking. You have to park nearly a block away and then hike down a hill, and it's pretty unsteady for people who are older trying to access the place to visit friends and loved ones. Security was good. During daylight hours, they had someone watching the door in the lobby, and people signed in and out. Especially during COVID, people were asked to check their temperatures to make sure they weren't running a fever. So they took really good precautions on monitoring people coming and going. Doctor access was also a problem there. The first time my brother was there, he was never seen by a doctor. I think part of their challenge is the fact that they were pretty crowded as well. They did the best they could with what they had. There's plenty of room for improvement. They had a high staff turnover. Many were excellent, but you had more that were just there because that was where they wanted to work for whatever reason. They weren't really there as caregivers. We had a good experience with most of the head nurses, and we had some good nursing experiences, but for every good nursing experience, there were at least three bad ones. My brother hated the food. Family and friends were bringing him food. It was dated, but maintained and clean. Everything that was needed was there."
