I'm surprised this place is still open. It was bad years ago and has gotten worse. Staff refuses to give the patient the correct medication, forces NORCO when the patient doesn't want it, loses paperwork and so dismissive that THE PATIENT has to call 911 from their bed to get help when they're having a heart attack! If you have a choice of being here or crawl to another facility crawl. Something needs to be done.

We would never recommend Citrus Heights Post Acute to anyone. A family member had a stroke and was moved from the hospital to CHPA, where he spent five weeks. This is where he passed away. We had high hopes for this facility, but it was a disturbing, frustrating experience dealing with the staff. Once hospice got involved, they seemed to know nothing about working as a team with hospice. On our daily visits, we often found our family member very agitated and in need of meds, unclothed, in a soiled adult diaper, or bleeding from an unattended wound. Politely asking for assistance was met with apathy. CNAs and RNs acted as if we were bothering them. One day when our loved one had managed to tear off his adult diaper, the RN at the counter told me, "Well his nurse is at lunch and will be back in 25 minutes." Unbelievable! The correct response should have been, "His nurse is at lunch, BUT LET ME FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO HELP," and then to actually follow through. It's ironic that this is a CARE facility, but the staff doesn't seem to CARE about their patients. Hey, we get that this type of work is not easy by any stretch, but we were hopeful that staff would do their jobs and see to our loved one's care. (Our one shoutout: Maritza was a sweet, lovely CNA who actually seemed to be on staff for the right reasons -- to care for people.)

This place is horrible! They let my mother sit in her own urine today because they couldn't figure out who could change her urostomy bag, not how, but WHO! They also have not been giving her her pain medication on time, even when she asks for it, one day she had to wait 2 1/2 hours for her medication. They also are not cleaning her wounds in a timely matter, shes lucky if it gets cleaned once a day. The only reason im giving them 2 stars is because all of the CNA's have been wonderful, truly outstanding, the nurses however, not so much.

If I could give -5 stars I would!! This facility is so old and nasty! Their beds and furniture are from the 80's!! I went there after having multi level spine fusion and they treated me like I was able to attend to myself but I couldn't even get out of the bed because there were no handles to assist me. The food tray was old, dirty and rusty. This place needs to be shut down!! I lasted only 3 hours because the pain was excruciating and I was just left in my bed. I do admit that I feel I was discharged from the hospital too soon. I'm now back at the hospital and getting the right care. DO NOT GO HERE!!
