This place is trying hard to remove negative reviews. Thanks to this vile place one would equate with nothing but endless torment to its patients. My mother passed away due to neglect from the “treatment” she endured here.Theres only one doctor who the patients call the “minute man” because he spends only one minute per patient. All they care about is money. They’ll also forge your signature to try and collect money from grieving loved ones. This isn’t a skilled nursing facility. It’s a place to put family members and have those said family members deteriorate and endure the painful abyss before they pass away. I signed no paperwork yet they are trying to collect money from me. I never even picked this place. I just got a call randomly one day that my loved one arrived here and first red flag was them aggressively asking for payment. Absolutely disgusting.

I want to ask please not to take your old people there. It is a place of very poor human quality. They mistreated my mother, she spilled her milk and took away her blankets, they left her cold. Thank goodness my brother arrived and put them back in their place. They took away her control so she wouldn't bother them. They told her they treat them very badly, the old people. We wouldn't take her. It was the doctor's turn. My father was having a stroke and my brother called them. They said no, she's okay. My brother called the ambulance and thanks to them, my mother is in bad shape because they didn't treat her immediately. My brother arrived but he had serious consequences.

My father passed away after leaving this facility. We tried to get a hold of the Doctor for 2 days with no call backs. They claimed he called, he did not. We were glued to the phone waitingto hear back. On day 3 I drove an hour to get there and saw my father in horrible condition. He fell septic again yet they claimed the doctor had been checking on him daily. He had not attended physical therapy in a few days while being there because he didn't we feel well, we didn't find this out until AFTER. Why wasn't his family notified he wasn't attending therapy? The ambulance took him to the hospital where he had severe kidney failure and was septic. How does it get that bad under someone's care!? Nurses were friendly and helpful the Doctor was not.

Administration, Specifically Social Services is HORIBLE. This woman is never available to help & never returns calls. Once it was time to discharge my mom, she did everything possible to keep my mom there. She even went so far as to accuse me of not caring about my moms well being and not having her best interest at heart. She lied to me, telling me that the doctor didn't want my mom discharged because he didn't feel that it was safe for her to leave yet. I called to doctor to find out why he felt that way, and he said that it was a lie. He said he would never keep a patient there if they are ready to move on. He said that this is not the 1st time that he has received a call from a patients family member, upset after being told the same thing. On the day of discharge, which was scheduled for 11am. I realize they are sometimes behind and am ok with that, but the required paperwork that was being requested for a week still wasn't ready. After waiting for the ride for another hour I asked the name of the transportation company. That's when I learned that they did not order her transportation. She tried to blame it on my moms insurance, but her insurance covers everything, including transportation. 20 minutes later, an UBER showed up to pick my mom up. My mom has dementia, is in a wheelchair and has never been to the new facility she was going to. She should never be in an uber by herself. Unbelievable!

My 87 year old father broke his hip and after surgery needed skilled nursing to get him mobile again. I was a bit apprehensive about admitting him to this facility. We did not have many options and we had to do something. It was important that my dad regain the function of his legs. When we first got to the facility my wife and I introduced ourselves to ALL of the staff. We were very friendly and the staff returned the courtesy. The facility definitely is not a luxury resort. However, the most important thing to us was that my father be able to walk again and be as independent as possible given his age. The physical therapy and occupational therapy did a great job. My dad was able to come home after just 10 days in the facility. The nurses, social workers, admittance officers, receptionists, and recreational director were all wonderful. I can't thank them enough. Monrovia Post Acute is a solid skilled nursing facility. We had a very positive experience there.
