My mom stayed 4 weeks here after her pelvic fractures. Both my mom and I have nothing but high praise for the staffs who took well care of her day and night. They were always smiling asking if she felt well or if she needed anything. I really appreciated all the kindness they showed to my mom. Thank you all for your excellent service and attention to my mom during her stay.

Our mom is here at Del Amo Gardens for 3 weeks now. The facility is dated but very organized and clean with well stocked gloves and hand sanitizers. All staff are attentive and caring. We’re especially impressed with activity schedules planned out for the residents. Thank you Gilbert and Joseph for always engaging our mom with activity and making her feel comfortable and safe.

My elderly relative has been a patient here since fracturing her hip. The facility is very clean and provides excellent care. The nurses and social workers are very helpful and attentive. Gilbert who leads the recreational activities is the best. My family appreciates that there are so many activities and programs geared for Korean speakers. Thank you Del Amo Gardens for taking great care of Martha Lee!

Extremely Disappointed with the Care at Del Amo Gardens My mother was admitted to Del Amo Gardens Skilled Nursing Facility in January 2024 after a hip replacement surgery to receive physical therapy. Initially, she seemed to be recovering well, but after a few weeks, her condition began to decline rapidly. Shockingly, no one from the staff contacted me or took the initiative to investigate why this was happening. I eventually contacted her doctor, who advised taking her to the emergency room immediately. However, when I arranged this, the head nurse dismissed my concerns, insisting it wasn’t necessary and claiming my mother was stable. Unfortunately, I was out of town at the time and relying on updates from family who visited. Weeks passed, and my mother’s condition continued to worsen. Instead of addressing the issue, the staff essentially gave up, assuming she was nearing the end of her life—which was outrageous and unacceptable. I finally flew back home and took her to the emergency room myself. To my horror, it turned out she had a brain hemorrhage that had been completely overlooked. The brain injury caused severe cognitive decline, and my mother’s recovery was slow and painful. After spending weeks in the hospital, she had to return to Del Amo Gardens temporarily. However, the neglect and lack of proper care were undeniable. I ended up bringing her home and taking on her care myself because I could no longer trust the staff there. The level of neglect at this facility is appalling. It’s clear that patient well-being is not a priority. I would strongly caution anyone considering Del Amo Gardens for their loved ones. My experience there in January 2024 was heartbreaking and left my family feeling deeply let down.

Placed my mom here recently for rehab. and have been very happy with the nurses and all the support staff. Facility does seem to have like 70% Korean residents but that is fine. Facility is clean and I feel safe having my mom there.
