How does a nursing home break the noise ordinance 2 days in a row? They are playing music as loud as a nightclub in a resedential area. I wouldn't send anyone I loved there. Are they looking after patients or having parties? Bad reviews check out.

The staff were nice. The facility has a lot of patients. They do not have a lot of staff for all the patients they have. If your loved one needs extra attention this is not the place for them.

Doesn’t look like much to the naked eye, but the care that patients receive here is truly priceless.

I am basing my experience on my tour of the place The admissions person, a young heavy set woman came off more like a car sales person. There was no empathy or compassion while i was in a very tough situation to find care for my grandpa. She even had the audacity to say that i looked stress and was giving off stress energy. Who says that? Anyway. The whole tour vibe is their sale pitch to get people to send their loved ones there. The place is one of those last minute places that unfortunately a family has no other choice or a hospital happens to just send them there. Can’t speak for the rest of the staff.

This place is wonderfully clean and my family member is well cared for here. The staff is professional and responsive to our needs. My family member is getting PT and improving daily! I've visited a few nursing homes and Highland Park has exceeded our expectations. It is super clean with no odors. Take a tour and see for yourself! It's also in a cute neighborhood with freeway access and not far from Pasadena so visiting and day passes are easy.
