I had the pleasure of touring California Park Post Acute and left feeling genuinely excited about working with their team! Everyone was kind, professional, and clearly passionate about the care they provide. The environment felt warm and supportive, and it’s obvious the residents are in good hands. Looking forward to collaborating with this wonderful facility!

I have to post an honest review . I am in the medical field, and have taken care of people my whole adult life . I have worked in Rehabs , Convolecent care , hospitals , and I can say this facility is absolutely terrible .<br>My father spent over 20 days , and every time I was there not only was I treated like a complete bother , but the nurses / CNAs at the nurses station were not friendly . They didn’t even look up to acknowledge anybody.<br>My dad laid in his bed everyday depressed . He asked for coffee and that was just too much for them to even get to him.<br>As far as showers he was showered weekly , but with no help. He let me know they would not help with washing his hair or giving a quality shower .<br>This breaks my heart so much. I have never seen a staff who just doesn’t seem to care about the residents. ( I am sure there were some exceptions with a handful of staff)<br>I have had coworkers who worked for Cal Park Rehab , and confirmed how terrible the experience was . I know first hand how hard it is to care for people , but I know what quality care is . When you care for people you have to be compassionate . I didn’t see any compassion.<br>Please don’t send your loved one to this facility . Send them anywhere but Cal Park Rehab.<br>I don’t like to post bad posts , but I had to . I have to save others from this sad experience.

My experience with California Park Post Acute has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and cared for. The nursing team is attentive, professional, and genuinely compassionate—they go above and beyond to make sure residents are comfortable and well taken care of. Hannah is a gem for this facility, she genuinely cares and goes above the patients needs.<br><br>The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and has a warm, home-like atmosphere. The therapy staff is incredibly knowledgeable and encouraging, helping patients make real progress in their recovery journey. Communication with families is also excellent—they always kept us informed and involved in care planning.<br><br>If you're looking for a skilled nursing facility in Chico that treats your loved one with the dignity and respect they deserve, I highly recommend California Park Post Acute. Thank you to the entire team for the wonderful care and support!

My grandfather has been here twice. Once about six years ago, and once last week.<br>Six years ago, it was great. They were attentive and compassionate. The food was decent, and the care was prompt.<br>This last time wasn't as good of an experience. They placed him under a window with a draft, and wouldn't listen when he asked to be moved. They would listen to any request we made, say they'd look into it, and never followed up.<br>Some of the staff was good, others not so much. They seemed hurried and distracted most of the time. They were also often unprofessional, making jokes and talking with each other, rather than playing attention to the patient and what they were doing.<br>We had to tell multiple people that he was a vegetarian before it was finally applied to the food he received. Even then, the food was not good. It wasn't balanced, and it often looked rushed and, frankly, cheap.<br>The rehab is good though. They do work them well, and hard, but patient. They do good exercises, and they do them every day. The nurses in charge, when I got to talk to them, were great. They helped me with whatever I needed and were very thorough.<br>The discharge went well, though we were pressured to stay longer. They said it was for his rehabilitation, but he was actually doing pretty good. Everyone agreed. But I feel like they wanted to get as much out of his insurance as they could.<br>I called with a follow-up question and haven't gotten a response. Though, I'll say, it's only been one day. But I do get the feeling from them that once they're out, they're done with them.

After many tries to contact someone at Cal Park Rehab, leaving messages and a phone number, this is true: They won't return a call even if you beg for an answer.<br>You might not get the answer you want from Arbor Post Acute, but at least they will talk to you.
