This is an excellent skilled nursing facility that I would not hesitate to recommend. The staff is extremely caring, friendly, and considerate to each patient. The physical therapy is carefully and expertly tailored to the needs of each patient. They truly go above and beyond what might be asked for.

Excellent Staff. Very clean facility. Everyone treated our mother with such kindness and care. Brian was caring, kind, helpful and very knowledgeable. He answered any questions we had and always had time to talk when we had concerns or needed help. My mom really loved Richard and Innocent. They made her feel so special and always took great care of her. We could feel relieved and relaxed when we left, knowing she was in the best care and kept very clean and comfortable.

Unfortunately, my father was sent to this place for rehab. La Mesa neglects their patients by leaving them soiled for the WHOLE day! Having them lay on the bed the whole day. The interdisciplinary team are great, but nurses and cna in this facility are terrible. No sense of co-operation or communication. Administration does not check on patients to verify the team does their job. Take your love ones somewhere.
