Nursing Home Communities in Yucca Valley, CA

"I was a patient in the continuing care facility in July of 2016. I arrived terrified because of all the unfavorable information I had always heard about this center. I have to say that while i was trying desperately to get out___phone calls, refusing treatment and crying, the staff was kind, respectful and considerate. A member of the administrative staff talked to myself and my family and assured us that they are doing everything possible to bring back a good reputation after a long term of terrible management in the past. I was there 3 days and was indeed treated very well. The nursing staff was efficient and kind. The food was WAY better than the Hi Desert Hospital! So was the care, while the hospital made several mistakes in my care, this facility did not and was punctual with each treatment. My only complaint would be the strong smell of mold/mildew especially in the bathroom. Having been there with a breathing issue, it made it very unpleasant for me to say the least. I would hope and assume that this problem will be addressed and fixed ASAP. I would not be afraid to go there again or have a family member there in the future if necessary. My room was sadly in need of sprucing up, it looked tired and neglected but my care was very good. I did not see a cleaning crew too many times while there and had to tell a nurse that the trash can in the bathroom really needed to be emptied. over all , my stay was satisfactory and I want to say Thank You to all involved in my healing process.

"its alright they are pretty nice but some seem on the edge its a quiet place thats calming. beautiful area. and they will help if you have any problems they jump right to the issue to help resolve it. "

"In my experience i attended Copper Mountai n College in Joshua Tree California i was in the facility for training purposes to become a Certified Nursing assistant. On my first day on the floor i could not believe how many of the employees ignored the call lights when they went off. On one occasion one of the employees actully said "oh dont answer them right away they are just wanting to complain or something and its never very important" after she said this i thought i might cry cause i was thinking would i want my family member to pay all this money in a facility just to be treated this way? In the short months i was there i realized that not all employees were like that generally most were caring and sweet people who cared for the residents just as much as i did. As for the amenities at the facility i was surprised that they never ran out of anything everything was always clean and nicly stocked, the food was excellent and the activities they provide there sure do keep the residents in a pretty good mood i was proud to train there and miss it terribly and often wish i could go back and if i actually did have the time i would go backfrom time to time. My personal overall experience was fun and uplifting and i was very glad to be a part of that facility if only for a short time. "

"This facility is very clean. The staff does the best they can. Most are very friendly and helpful. This is a thankless job. If you want good care you have to be vigilant in your observations, ask staff about it and visit frequently. Most people don’t visit their relatives regularly. The food could stand to be improved significantly. Less processed food ( no one needs tater tots) would be a plus. Allow staff to have one meal daily as part of their compensation package and watch the improvements begin. How difficult is meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and a frozen vegetable medly? It’s cheaper to cook from scratch so find some cooks that can make real food. Mealtime is the only thing the residents look forward to. I know because I took care of my parents for 6 years. Why feed them crap? "

"My 92 yr old father loves his new caregiver "Steven". The office staff found the perfect match for him. He was resistant in the begining, but now he has found his new best friend. "

"My wife is at Rancho Mirage Health and Rehabilitation Center. I think it was Country Villas before. She's been there for a month and a half. It's a skilled nursing facility. Hospice was the ticket for me to get her there and they still come in to take care of her. This is much nicer, newer and brighter compared to the one she was before. The staff are helpful but because of hospice she's not gonna need much help and attention as she gets now. She's in a room with another patient. The room itself is okay. But there's only one TV. What I like best is its cleanliness. I would probably recommend this place, its better than 9 out of 10 out there. It could be a little better but it's not a bad facility. "
