I spent a few months there after cracking my hip last year. I found the staff very friendly, a great cook, and the therapists were great. They got me back on my feet almost as soon as I got there. I enjoyed my time there and was surprised at their efficiency. I would recommend them for their skilled nursing services.

Nursing staff care more about spreading gossip and rumors than about their patients wellbeing and health. The DON is a joke and chastises & demeans staff in front of anyone & everyone. This facility is very understaffed imo. Housekeeping is good. Food services is good.

My Mother and Father were both patients at the California Care Center. My Mother was only there for 3 1/2 days before I took her out. During that short time her medication was stolen and replaced with water. After discovering this I immediately tried to relocate my Father. I received no cooperation from the California Care Center. After repeatedly requesting his medical information be sent to the new facility they instead told them to be concerned about our ability to pay. We owe California Care Center nothing and are waiting for a check for what they were overpaid. I would not recommend placing anyone you care about in this facility.
