two weeks, and I was very impressed with the level of care she received. Working in the medical field myself and having experience with many facilities like this, I can honestly say this one stood out. The staff was extremely professional, caring, and attentive. The facility was also very clean and well maintained, which gave our family a lot of comfort and confidence. My mom especially enjoyed going to physical therapy and felt encouraged and supported during her stay. It was reassuring to know she was in good hands every day. I would definitely highly recommend Harbor Villa Care Facility to anyone needing care for a loved one. The staff truly goes above and beyond to make patients feel comfortable and cared for.

My father was a patient at Harbor Villa for about 60 days, and what our family experienced there was heartbreaking. The facility frequently smelled unpleasant. There was often a resident yelling loudly throughout the day, creating a chaotic and distressing environment. We saw rats in the parking lot and even cockroaches inside my father’s room. It was incredibly upsetting to see him living in those conditions. Visitor parking is also an absolute nightmare most days. For families already under immense stress, struggling just to find parking makes visiting even harder. Most concerning, when my father pressed the emergency call button at his bedside, assistance was often extremely delayed. Knowing that your loved one is pressing for help and waiting — sometimes far too long — is a feeling I cannot adequately describe. It caused constant anxiety every time we left the facility. Although some staff members were personally kind, there was a serious lack of coordination and awareness about my father’s medical condition. When his health declined, staff could not clearly tell me his recent vitals, explain his blood pressure trends, or provide accurate information about his care. I had to speak directly with the paramedics myself and provide his medical history and symptoms because the staff could not. While on feeding tubes, my father’s sodium levels dropped significantly because he was not receiving adequate water flushes. We had to rush him to Hoag Irvine, where doctors determined he also had pneumonia and extremely high blood pressure. It was terrifying. Watching your parent suffer from something that should have been closely monitored is something no family should ever experience. Instead of supporting his recovery, the facility then declined to accept him back after we sought emergency treatment — simply because we advocated for his health. We trusted this facility during one of the most vulnerable times in my father’s life, and that trust was deeply broken. Please do your research. Ask detailed questions. Advocate fiercely. And if you have other options, I strongly encourage you to take your loved one elsewhere. No family should have to go through what we did.

This facility is amazing and so attentive to patients needs. My grandmother is a patient and the care and services they provide are beyond amazing. The staff is always so friendly and respectful and really treat patients with the upmost care. Always very communicative with patients and their families. The administration lady goes above and beyond to make sure your family stay is amazing, she’s very lovely and always the best in communication. I would recommend this facility 10/10.

Everytime I've gone to a snack is been Harbor villa expect once I went somewhere else but harbor villa had the most endearing and family like staff. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. All staff is caring and helpful towards everyone. The cna are very efficient and reliable. Everyone gets comforted and I like that the call light is always available to get help and no one is getting neglected. Physical therapy is very knowledgeable, compationate, always cheerful,and positive attitude, they help me get stronger to go home. The administrator checks up on residents and makes sure they're happy and have no complaints. The activities department makes sure we have fun and we have activities according to our abilities. The food is also very good. The RNs ensures we get out medication timely and accurate. The facility smells good, it does not have a smell or urine. The beds get changed regularly and the facility is clean. The admissions/social service department is also very helpful with any appointments and any other needs. They are on top of appointments and nothing slips through the cracks. The outside patio is very large it has trees and birds and a very nice peaceful place to relax.
