I can’t say enough good things about Montecito Post Acute Care & Rehab. While my mom was the patient, I experienced their care as her family member and advocate, and they exceeded my expectations every step of the way.<br><br>From the very beginning, I felt like they truly cared about both my mom’s well-being and my peace of mind. Whenever I had a question or concern, someone took the time to answer it promptly and thoroughly. The staff was compassionate, attentive, and always willing to help.<br><br>Thank you to everyone at Montecito for the kindness, professionalism, and exceptional care you provided.

Patient care is pretty bad here. I was only here for 2 weeks (this time) but saw 3 people fall from their beds to the floor and the cna's continued to walk past them. One nurse needed help putting a large man back in bed and they had to wait for the cna to finish trash b4 getting her help. I was floored. I'm just grateful I wasn't bed bound this 2nd stay here. I was in 2019 during my first stay here. That time was 6 weeks I believe. I did have a nurse who made me cry and then laughed about it. No idea why he did not like me. Even my roommate agreed he had some problem with me.

My husband had 3strokes and 2 heart attacks. Before he was sent to your hell hole! He was recovering or at least would react when spoken to and could follow directions. I was pushed into a conor and rushed into a major decision. So from like a vegas after being there over a month and improving. So from vegas to mesa arizona about 300 mile trip i went the next morning early arrived there around 9am. He was bleeding from his neck!! What happened, it could have been the move made injuries! How can this be.. anyway this place was a death sentence for him not a recover home! I would push the nurses call button and it would take sometimes a hour to respond! These nurses had 6 to o 20 patients per nurse.. he contuined to bleed blood clots through his breathing tube it was horrible! Finally I insisted they call 911!! Ty hey refused said I could call 911 if I wanted. What! What kind of hospital or nursing home would say this!! I freaked on them they left came back ok we called 911 we will take him to the hospital. From the hospital I brought him home on hospice.. he was brought there in fair condition he left in a box!! Do not send your lives one to this place please! No
