Orinda Rehabilitation I would like to give my personal recommendation and personal review for someone they have working at Orinda Rehabilitation. Nina Sanchez has helped me & worked for me around my house & she is a very dedicated & trustworthy person. I have always been intimidated by people working in my house but that has not been the case with Nina Sanchez. She is a very hard worker & completes all tasks at hand. She will make any business she works for gleam with excellence along with management! Sincerely Yolanda Alvarez 9/18/2025

Orinda Senior Care is truly exceptional! The staff here are not only friendly and welcoming, but also incredibly knowledgeable and attentive to every need. They treat each resident with genuine care and respect, going above and beyond to make sure everyone feels comfortable and supported. The activities are fun, engaging, and thoughtfully planned, creating a wonderful sense of community and joy. You can really tell the team here loves what they do, and it makes all the difference. I couldn’t recommend Orinda Senior Care more highly!

The staff, from the nurses to the CNAs, is consistently kind, patient, and respectful. They genuinely treat the residents like family, which gives us immense peace of mind. During visits, staff members were observed taking extra time to talk with the resident, engaging them in activities, and ensuring comfort. The Director of Nursing was available and responsive when questions or concerns arose, and addressed inquiries promptly and professionally. The facility is always clean and well-maintained. The rooms are bright and cheerful, and the common areas are always bustling with activities for the residents. The community created is wonderful, with excellent and compassionate care.

I've gotten to know Alex, the BD Director and one thing that really stands out is how deeply she cares about the residents. She leads with kindness and compassion and it’s clear she’s truly dedicated to their well-being. The residents have great things to say about her and the team and it’s easy to see why. There’s a genuine connection between staff and residents and that kind of warm, supportive atmosphere is something you don’t see every day.

I'm 59yrs old and reasonably healthy except for a recent neck/spinal cord injury that left me paralyzed from the waist down. After ICU and acute care facility I was dumped here like a piece of trash in a trash heap. I was supposedly sent here for rehab w/ physical and occupational therapy. Apparently Orinda "Rehab" has been in a state of upheaval for a long time. They are short staffed and ill-equiped and as a result are guilty, mostly of neglect. I think what little staff is left does the best they can with what they have. A few, however, just don't seem to care or are not properly trained. They all are over worked and maybe under paid? PT/OT consist of 2 or 3 people. They are absolutely excellent but overwhelmed with patients and have almost no equipment. I need intensive rehab w/ PT/OT and neurologist. My condition can and should improve with the right care but instead it is getting worse every day that I'm here. There could and should be a class action lawsuit against the owners. I'll be looking into that. The staff and especially the patients don't deserve to be treated like this. It's inhumane and immoral not to mention illegal !!!! I'm not sacrificing the rest of my life due to some greedy dirt bag's corporate ownerships corruption and sheer neglect and abuse of helpless elderly and disabled folks. Fix it now, shut it down, or pay the price !! 😠
