Shea Rehabilitation Healthcare

I am in my fifth week at Whittier Pacific Care. I am getting better and soon it will be a sad farewell to all the incredible pampering I have been enjoying. The staff has been wonderful, happy and caring. The food is delicious, prepared by a chef who sincerely loves his work and filling people's tummies. This is quite a large facility. There is even a wing where unfortunately end-of-life patients are looked after. Staff is always available and ready to care for your needs. In therapy, something I dreaded ahead of time, the therapists are not a nightmare but a dream come true! They work with you and never push you beyond your tolerance. A happy patient, all I can say is pleasantries. Whittier Pacific Care - a great place to get better! After many days of complaints about broken leg on my wheelchair, I found my hero. Jennifer! She located the correct foot holder for wheelchair and installed it. Now I can finally use bed and wheelchair intermittently to give legs a chance to unwind. YAY Jennifer! Also, the commode has been repaired! During my second week here. Most of the people who work here are amazing! They do everything they can to make you feel comfortable. The food is good, which is surprising for a long term facility. (Example: today's lunch was extraordinary! Street tacos with rice and beans, and peaches.) I am still experiencing problems with two items, both of which aid in "returning me to normal" - one is my wheelchair. The wheelchair I am using first had no rests for feet or legs, later the legs were different - one short, one long. The therapist fixed the short leg, yet now the other leg is broken, and that is the injured leg. So I put in a new request, yesterday and today, for hopefully a different and working wheelchair. Also, the commode in the bathroom has one widened arm and one shortened arm. Best if both were widened and I requested that today. Other than that, everything is great! And I'm not sure how to add reviews, so edited my original with this. So this new patient will return with another review. Soon. In the meantime, all employees of this center are friendly, happy and will do what they can to help and to please.

Formerly known as Shea Rehabilitation, I worked 10 months at this facility as a CNA , if you are seeking employment for CNA, Look elsewhere. Eva the DSD especially does not appreciate the CNA's , she walks around facility to purposely criticize and look for anything she can complain about that CNA's are doing wrong. In my 10 months there , I never heard one positive comment come out of her mouth . They all stick together DON, Administrator, they allow her to keep chasing CNA's Away. CNA's come and go they don't stay . Low Pay , always short staffed sometimes having 12 patients with 3 showers . Patients don't receive quality care when a facility is always short staffed. Don't Appy here.

Beware of this place! They are so petty! They don't experience nurses treating the patients. My loved-one has been here for close to two years and I see dead body's being taken away every couple months of even young patients. As you may know, they changed the facility name recently and they think that will rid their problems.

Other nursing homes I have encountered have a relaxed atmosphere, allowing friends and family to bring balloons for loved ones. NOT THIS PLACE! They are so petty here, they purposely air-out the balloons, saying "its toxic to the oxygen in our facility".

its funny how people complain about this place but continue to stay..hmmm makes a lot of sense.
