In mid January of 2024 I was in need of an Assisted Care Facility due to a severe motorcycle accident. The bones in my lower right leg were broken and splintered, and my right knee cap was shattered. Unfortunately, the trauma to my leg caused such soft tissue damage and swelling to my leg as well, that the shattered knee and broken bones could not be properly attended to until the swelling subsided. Instead, an External Fixator (metal hardware) was attached to my leg with the intent to stabilize the bones until surgery could be performed on my damaged leg/knee. I was subsequently transported to North Valley Nursing Center to await that swelling reduction process. I'm writing this review to bring attention to the outstanding Nursing staff that I encountered during my stay at North Valley. Not only did I experience the exemplary Nursing skills required for persons within that field of care, the compassion and sincere kindness displayed by my nurses (those who attended to me, personally) remains unmatched. So much so, that I feel the need to mention those who attended to me by name: CONNIE MONTES, MARIA RODRIGUES, KARLA REYES, ABLE LEMUS, ISABEL VARGAS, MARLENE, FIDEL, VANESSA, LORENA, PRISCILLA, YESENIA TATE, TREVOR and CIRMA. Due to my circumstances, I often found myself in embarrassing and humiliating situations, only to be reminded by my care-givers that I was injured, and that I was in need of help, and that, that is what my care takers were there to do: assist me with those things that I could no longer do for myself. The above persons just named, literally, restored my faith in humanity. North Valley is, through my humble experience, a top-notch care facility. It is clean, well provisioned, and staffed with the best, most professional nurses in the business who's grace and compassion I have yet to encounter elsewhere on this journey. Lastly, I would be amiss were I to not mention the food at North Valley Nursing Center. The food is phenomenal! A big shout out to the culinary staff and whoever is in charge of putting out those meals. Not only were the meals well balanced and nutritious, the meats would, literally, fall off the bones. Delicious! I will close by posting a few pictures of some of the meals. God bless and peace forward. kj.

If I could rate 10 stars, I would! Thank you for taking care of my Aunt. She always has wonderful things to say about the staff, the attention she gets, and talks about how clean they keep her room and the facility in general. Every time I visit it’s always a positive experience. You make her comfortable and for that my family and I are so grateful to your team!

On September 5, 2020 my brother ended in the hospital, we were told he was in a diabetic coma. That same night he suffered several strokes. He had to be intubated. His kidneys stop working so they had to do dialysis on him for 3 times a week for a month. At one point my dad and I were told that he might not make it or that if he did he would be Bedbound. He fought for his life and got a bit better. His kidneys got better and he was stable. On October 13, 2020 he got sent to North Valley Nursing Center, Where he would start physical therapy and have the care he needed. He learn to walk and talk. When he was finally able to talk he told us he couldn’t see. They took him to the eye doctor on May 16, 2021 where they pronounced him legally blind. He didn’t let that defeat him. He push himself and never gave up. On February 11, 2022 he was able to finally come home. He still has a lot of physical therapy and a long way to go, but now he can do it at home. I’m so proud of my brother 🥰 and Thankful to God 😇 I will forever be grateful to the team that worked by my brother side. Thank you North Valley Nursing Center for not giving up on my brother 🙏🏼 I want to thank Nursing: Runette Weegee Brenda Michael Adrinann Maria Mario Armondo Bella I want to thank Respiratory therapy: Jimmy Shannon Shanel Alexis Wynette I want to thank OT/PT/ST Dept Richard Lisa Steven Cheyenne Kyle Abby And all the students
