My experience here at Odelia Healthcare has been a blessing. A couple weeks before arriving here, my world and way of life changed on me. I suffered an injury and I never imagined I’d have to get put in a rehabilitation facility. I didn’t know what that would look like. As I was being transported to the Odelia facility by Anthony (Odelia’s transport driver) he knew I was feeling anxious and uncertain and reassured me that they had the best staff and I would be taken care of. He talked to me about what to expect, and how I had chosen a great place to heal. He made the drive feel safe all around including buckling me in right and driving safely. Arriving at Odelia Healthcare it did not take long for me to see this for myself. When choosing Odelia I based my decision off their wound care experience and knowledge on their website, so I was eager to see if I had made the right decision. When Tiffany (my wound care nurse) came to my rescue I knew I was in the right place. She knew exactly what she was doing. She kindly talked to me as she took her time cleaning and dressing my wound. Made me feel safe and in good hands with my wound care. A big part of my healing is my nutrition and being able to eat. Ashley and her kitchen staff do a wonderful job making sure that I get my portions met and even go above and beyond to make sure the food temperatures are to my liking and always do their best to meet any special requests I may have and I really appreciate them for that. The entire physical therapy team have seen me in some trying times and helped me push through. I am thankful for their encouragement and support in making my body strong again. They challenge me and I can’t thank them enough for all they do. Last but definitely not least I want to talk about Kathy the facility administrator. Since day one she has gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and welcome. She never goes a day without saying hi or checking how I am doing. She is understanding, kind and I feel she really does care about her patients and is very proud of her facility and staff. This place I was forced to call home has come with some blessings I never knew I needed. From the group exercises, so many kind staff members, the bingo’s, to the friendships made I will always be grateful for my experience here at Odelia Healthcare.

Odelia nursing facility has an excellent all around staff. My mother in law was treated with dignity and respect. The DON Marissa went above and beyond her call of duty to provide the best care for her throughout her stay. Thank you to all the staff for all the care you provided my mother in law.

NOT RECOMMENDED The good reviews are a mystery. No evidence at all for why they are given. Food -- 1 star (just not good) Facility -- 1 star (rundown, ugly, sticky floors, poor HVAC, double occupancy) Location-- 1 star (hard to find, parking inadequate, homeless area, freeway adjacent) Staff -- 1 star (not responsive or communicative)

When we first were admitted I was unsure 😞 but when I came back to visit my husband 😁, I was more at ease. The staffing was very friendly and helpful. Then to our amazement they moved my husband to his own private room, which I was so grateful for, cause he's a big man. I thank God 🙏 for that. So again thank you all for what your doing in helping everyone. God bless you all.

Very nice stuff we coordinated everything on the same page today and my dad‘s happy. I believe he’s in good hands! Looking forward to him getting some really good Rehab . Each and every person there were very kind and understanding. Having a family member get to this point is very hard for all of us . Each employee there with so much to do and Responsibility these can be weighing. The truly work so hard and they have great intentions. I have no doubt that dad will be taken care of. It’s hard for me personally to trust care anymore . But after visiting and questioning the process it felt good and reassuring to know they were on top of things . Super involved and we left content .
