I really was looking forward to going here my Dr. Highly recommend this place and I was approved in every way tell Sadly Tabitha in Skilled Nursing side adminissions does age discrimination! It came out of her own mouth! :( I was completely approved in all other ways she said " you don't fit the demographic here due to your age! I'm 39 on the outside only i just had a full hip replacement my second hip surgery i have severe osteoarthritis and degenerative disk decrease i have dentures, hearing aids , a walker 6 titanium spine fusions and! I have already been to a couple Skilled nursing places in NV and here in California. I might look 39 but I'm more in my 70s then anything. Tabitha repeatedly said this to my master care planner the hospital I'm at said everything went through. Tell Tabitha who clearly should not be in adminissions in any facility due to her discrimination Sadly made it clear even after my very amazing pain management Dr. Singh called them I was approved and the hospital and my master care coordinator who are all amazing people it was destroyed all by hateful discrimination. I will be now looking into another Skilled Nursing home where there is no discrimination. This really really broke 💔 my heart and made me very depressed. So I unfortunately can only give them a review based on my experience. So be ready to be turned away for no reason by Tabitha the evil discriminater 👎👎👎👎🥺 ----‐--------------------------------------‐-------------------------- Update: Angela reached out to me and she is kind, smart and professional. She said she is getting to the bottom of it over the next few days. I appreciate you reaching out to me. I hope things improve thank you Angela 😊

We are so thankful for the care and kindness shown my mother as a resident of skilled nursing at CAH! The nurses, therapists, CNA's and financial often staff are always so helpful. We recently enjoyed some time at the newly- installed playground and bench area so my mother could meet her 7 1/2- week-old great-grandson! It was such a lovely day and the 2-yr-old big sister had something to do while we visited! Brilliant idea!

My mom came in with serious wounds. They were kind helpful and understanding through her healing process. I had my dad at a different rehab years ago and it has been night and day. The staff is knowledgeable kind and caring. It does not smell of urine or feces when you walk in. My mom is almost ready to go home. She has mixed feelings. She is excited but also knows how well she has been taken Care of. I would highly recommend it.

Don’t be fooled by their reputation. If you’re well enough to enjoy Land of The Living you might be ok. If you desire to be treated unkindly and unfairly look NO further than skilled nursing. I’m looking at you, Kingsley. Try a peer review. Your coworkers don’t like you either. DAVID in The Dining Hall. An LVN who is miscast in his role. He’s the only staff member who never seems to have a name tag. Today he said hello to me for the first time. Ever. In months. David. It is OK to pour water for thirsty elders. Even if it’s not your job. If you don’t want me to get water for parched elders, please put a sign that says, sorry please don’t touch, staff only. I didn’t know. Later today I asked after how to get a shave and shower appointment and Tabitha told me the resident is “NOT NICE” I’ve known this nonagenarian for twenty years. Nobody has EVER said he’s not nice. Ever. Get it together Tabitha. Tired, frustrated maybe. Possibly even grouchy but he IS NICE. Yesterday you complimented me for “always being sweet and polite” and I told you I’m not sure about sweet but I always try to be polite and professional. Perhaps David and Kingsley can go to Charm School. Or take lessons from Christy, Gurmeet, Joseph or Galdina to name a few. These are good people. Watch, learn people’s names and visit often if you love your peeps in this sad understaffed ward.

My dad went to Armenian Home in July 2025. The facility is just beautiful and the staff was great. I commend them for working with a somewhat grumpy 92 year old, they were caring and had patience. We had clothing and coats delivered via Amazon and they mad sure he got his packages. Dad was put on hospice and died recently. His last few months were best he had no worries they fed him, bathed him and watched out for him. Thank you
