Nursing Home Communities in Walnut Creek, CA

"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."

"From my visit to this facility I was very impressed. Personally I was there to visit my grandfather who was ill with cancer, but from the looks of it the facility housed many types of residents ranging from those who were there to enjoy retirement in old age, elderly people with symptoms of dementia or Alzheimer's, or terminally ill patients like my grandfather. In other words, there were perfectly healthy people all the way to very sick patients who needed attentive medical care. From what I recall all the service provided was excellent. The nurses were caring and attentive, and the amenities were quite acceptable. Rooms are very big, everything is kept very neat and clean, and there is a nice lounge room for visitors to have a nice conversation in. The meals for the residents see, well balanced and carefully planned out, and they are sensitive to what each resident likes or does not like. Overall, I would say this facility is excellent and would recommend it for any assisted living needs you or your loved ones may have. "

"This is a very large skilled nursing facility located near Rossmoor, a large senior adult community. Overall, I've had a pretty positive impression of the place. They offer extraordinarily good rehab: OT, PT, and ST. But it's all group therapy, and some of my clients haven't liked that. That's rare, though. Most people feel encouraged by the group. Therapy is offered two times a day and on Saturday, if needed. That's unusual and a real plus. Also, if a patient is in the John Muir Medical System, a physician from John Muir is there 8 hours a day. That's really extraordinary and a real plus. Another plus: They have a beautiful garden courtyard, with roses and shade trees, that's amazing, just stunning. One negative: The food isn't good. It's mediocre at best, very institutional. The only other negative is that parking can be difficult. "

"My mother has been a resident of Manor Care Tice for years. The care and overall facility has been excellent. She enjoys bingo andother social events. Recently, the facility has received negative reviews. I was very surprised since I visit mom twice a week and t it has been excellent. I intend to have her stay here. She has been negative for on Covid testing. The nursing staff and others have been very prompt when I have had a reason to phone them. I also am an RN. "

"My husband moved into San Miguel Villa. It's an older facility, but they're very conscientious with what they're doing. My husband seemed to like it, they're really nice to him, and he's eating good. They're doing rehab therapy for him. The room is average size, and he has a roommate."

"Windsor Manor Rehabilitation Center is a wonderful spot for my mother. She's been doing very, very well. They let me know if anything is wrong. If there's anything out of order with her at all, I get a phone call. Day or night, it doesn't matter. They're wonderful about doing that. Since we can't visit in-person, they schedule video visits for us. I just had one with my wife a few minutes ago. The staff is excellent. They're caring and they let me know about everything. I've got all their numbers. I must have a half a dozen different people that take care of her for different things that I can call any time. The location is great. It's close into town. It's not far from where I live now, and that's the best thing in the whole world. They have activities, but she's not able to participate in them yet."

"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. "

"I visited 5 facilities and the one that I wanted the most for my mother was Stonebrook. It was excellent and I would give it a 5-star rating for everything. But I couldn't get her in there. Instead, I opted for a facility that is closer to my home, so it's easier for me to go there everyday. "

"I liked Orinda Care Center. The rooms were small and could use some updating. It looked like they had some activities that the people were engaged in. There wasn't much grounds; it was all parking. I liked the feel of it. I am upset that my husband is not able to get in there; unfortunately, they are not taking him at this time. The layout is nice. I wish that they would have more outdoor areas because there aren't any outdoor areas for them now. I think that would be very important for them to be able to go outside. I only saw one room, and it looked well kept. The staff person was very nice. "

"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."

"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"
