I live in the alley behind this building. The number of times that we hear people crying for help is outrageous. We hear people going on for 10 to 15 minutes crying help. Today I reported them to the California Department of public health. If my loved one was in this facility, I would want somebody to report them for neglect.

Our father/father-in-law, Ilya V., 92 years old, is in Beachwood rehab after he was discharged from the hospital. There is very friendly and professional staff that provides all required procedures and services. We recommend this facility for post-acute and rehab needs.

I spent a week at Beachwood during Christmas and was very impressed in every way with Beachwood. When my first roommate would not stop talking when I arrived late night, they quickly moved me to a room with a lovely roommate. The staff was always attentive, caring, and knowledgeable. The PT was excellent and even the food was good! I also had a big window with a view, which I realize not all rooms have.

This facility is well managed! All the staff were super welcoming. The place was clean and tidy. The residents looked comfortable and well taken care of. I'd highly recommend sending your loved one here.

They could really stand to up their bedsore game. Mom came home with a couple nasty ones. That being said, they did as good a job as anyone can with so many residents. The place is generally busy but mostly clean and the staff, however overwhelmed, is friendly and helpful as possible. It's good if you visit your loved one and stay updated. Bring your loved one home as soon as possible. It really is just a transitional place.
